Belated Movie Reviews

I keep trying to get off the set of this movie and keep failing!

The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines (2006) is the sequel to The Librarian: Quest For The Spear (2004). The Librarian, now established in his job, must discover and safeguard a volume that may let its holder control time and space.

Why we’re not all under the iron control of some previous owner of the volume is never made clear.

After a clobber of his head and a theft, he discovers a noble thief, an archaeologist of flighty nature and more educated than he, and a guy with minions and a bloodthirsty urge to steal something the Librarian is carrying. From all this, we make it to said Mines and, ummmm, I suppose that was supposed to be a heartrending meet-up with the ghosts of various Librarian relatives.

Maybe?

It was all very silly, so very derivative of better stories without understanding what made them better, and quite unmemorable. I had to go look up the general plot, having seen the movie a month or so ago.

It’s not worth wasting your time on this one.
