THE LIBRARIAN: RETURN TO KING SOLOMON’S MINES (Television Release USA 2006)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines—works on the same formula story telling method as its prequel—has a sound script. The familiarity of story line, reminiscent of other long running movie series such as Pink Panther or James Bond creates a desire to see Noah Wyle in another Librarian movie. Bob Newhart’s precious likableness, always welcome to see, coupled with Jane Curtain’s stableness and Olympia Dukakis’ elegance add to the supporting backstory and predictable story line. Good watch in every way.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. There’s a certain comfortableness in seeing characters appear in sequels as long as the quality of entertainment stays intact. The Librarian movie series, so far, has performed very well within expectations. So well, in fact, that it is not difficult to imagine these movies producing the magical maximum number of movie series ever made. Good watch for those who love the Librarian films.
