Bonnie L @BonnieL 04/07/2024 I love Africa and this movie is a treasure of scenery and wildlife and jungle culture. The adventure story and acting is very engaging. It kept my interest throughout. I was going to watch and then delete it from my dvr, but this a keeper. See more CodyZamboni 07/26/2023 Old school adventure, that should've been alot better. What I did like, was the stunning on location photography, and a clear sense of how long and arduous the journey is for Quartermain and Elizabeth. But there is no sense of danger or menace. The stars only provide lame reaction shots to second unit or grainy stock footage of wild creatures. Over and over again. And I was underwhelmed by the climax. See more David F 07/22/2023 Filmed in Africa, this movie does capture some of the exotic adventure charms of the book, to which it is not very faithful otherwise. Also, Stewart Grangers' Allan Quatermain somehow manages to be even more of a bitter, cynical hunting professional with unplumbed depths than the narrator of the book was, which I liked. It's Hollywood, so of course there is a love story displacing some of the more adventurey content. It's an earnest, partly successful adaptation. See more Bill B 06/24/2023 An old-fashioned adventure film, probably not to the taste of those more accustomed to CGI and high-tech graphics. Set back in a time when there were still pockets of the unknown scattered about the globe. Enjoyable. See more 05/15/2021 Take it for what it is - a fantastic adventure film; silly to condemn it for not being 2020 'woke.' The best of all the film versions of this tale. Filmed on location, wonderful imagery showcasing the magnificence of Africa, amazing animal footage and dramatic encounters, a different (and respectful) look at the various tribes (e.g. the Watutsi) than typically seen in period films. This wonderful Saturday matinee movie inspired later films like Indiana Jones. See more steve d 07/21/2020 Forgettable action film. See more Read all reviews
