Product: Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987)
Rating: 3.0
not as good as the first - but not too bad either
Lost City of Gold starts out as a fun adventure just like the previous Quatermain movie King's Solomons Mines. It stays that way for a fun journey to the lost city but once they get there it becomes a Clift's Notes version of Haggard's novel without very much of the silly fun as the first film or the first half of this one. They should have taken longer to get to the lost city I guess. It's still worth seeing though and fans of King Solomon's Mines will love the first half. Those who haven't seen the first film will probably enjoy it since they wont compare it to the superior previous movie. Chamberlain, Stone, and Jones are all in good form and are extremely fun to watch in the first half of the film. After that they do their best but the lost city isn't much fun to hang around once it's been found. 3 and half stars for the good stuff.
