Set the bar very low and you may appreciate its stupidity. Go to Full Review
Joyce Millman Boston Phoenix 07/02/2018
Wyle's geeky charm and the story's glorification of book learnin' are enough to keep the good vibes aloft. Go to Full Review
Roger Catlin Hartford Courant 01/02/2018
If this poor stab at Indiana Jones is the best material [Noah Wyle] can find, he's better off at the hospital. Go to Full Review

It's all totally lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek and never dares to be serious about anything, which is refreshing. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's a fun cheesy cable TV flick, a slice of winking B movie giddiness that charms us into smiling through all the nonsense. Go to Full Review

Emma H Nov 1 These low reviews are kind of harsh. You need to take into account when the movies were made. Yeah, they’re kinda corny and not written up to be amazing works of art but they are fun and charming. Let them be what they are. See more Dan D Jul 19 Childish level programming/ no acting/ rotten effects / terrible dialogue but if your 8 - 12 years old, you might enjoy these movies. See more alan g @agenser May 24 These movies are terrible. Noah Wylie Muggs his way through the movie. Bob Newhart sleep walks tgrough and Jane Curtain plays her bitchy self. See more Hex x May 1 The Librarian movies are older, a bit janky, but charming and enjoyable to watch, especially as a lover of the series. See more Matthew D @OceanSage 01/21/2024 Made for television Indiana Jones with fun history and mythology for nerds. Noah Wyle is the main charmer and appeal. Noah Wyle is still charming and funny, but these Librarian movies all feature horrible dialogue, cheesy jokes, hideously dated CGI, cheap obvious green screen, and awful cinematography. Everyone looks so bored besides Wyle and feels like they're phoning it in for a paycheck. I used to love this as a child, and now all I see is the cheap sets and effects that are so distracting. The Librarian: Quest for the Spear remains quaint and watchable, but nowhere near as amazing as I remembered. Kelly Hu is so pretty and they really wasted Kyle MacLachlan. Bob Newhart looks and sounds like he was near death, but he can be funny. See more steve d 12/25/2022 Whimsical and a whole lot of fun. See more Read all reviews
