4.0 out of 5 stars
Comic book,
By Lotus Scrum (Phoenix, Az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Solomons Mines (DVD)
All of those I see who deem this a "Indiana Jones" rip off aren't too swift! The indy films were actually rip offs of these stories which were written in the 1800's. This film is pretty good, it is VERY comic book with the acting, sets, effects and storyline. If you are a child of anything later than the 80s then you won't "get" this film. If you can't simply enjoy a film that is "family" oriented so be it. But many people enjoyed this film when it came out and still do! Its a fun romp similiar to the Indy films but with more cheeky humor. Sharon Stone takes on her early role and is quite silly and fun.

FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!,
By A Customer
This review is from: King Solomons Mines (DVD)
I laughed through this whole movie. I'd never seen Chamberlain and Stone in a comedy before this. I thought it would just be an adventure movie, but it's not. It's so crazy! I couldn't believe my eyes! I enjoyed it, but I can't even begin to find the words to describe this film. You've really got to see this for yourself.

Rather entertaining in the right state of mind,
By Lunar Strain "Thrash, don't mind if I do" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Solomons Mines (DVD)
The makers of King Solomon's Mines know it's an Indiana Jones rip-off and they take no shame or attempt to hide it. With that said I actually found King Solomon's Mines to be rather enjoyable. Sure it's cheesy and cornball, but some of the humor is hilarious. I found myself laughing outloud at many occasions. The film also has almost nonstop action. It just jumps from one action scene to another. Richard Champerlain gives a great tongue-in-cheek performance as adventurer Allan Quartermain. Sharon Stone is rather bad in her supporting role, but she's nice to look at. The first half of the film is actually for more enjoyable than the last half because some of teh situations get a little too outragions (I mean a giant spider...come on!) As long as yor not expecting Raiders of the Lost Arc and your open to take a trip with a really off-the-wall adventure, you might enjoy some aspects of King Solomon's Mines. Just make sure to steer clear of its sequel.
