Negative Positive
Title: Nothing original.
Review: This is another adaptation of the original story "King Solomon's Mines". The fifth that I am aware of, and the seventh film to feature the Allan Quartermain character. So if you are expecting a new adventure, as the title suggests, you will probably be disappointed. As I certainly was. I dont think its as dreadful as the rest of the reviews on here. I did enjoy it. Its a very modest adaptation and does contain a few twists on the original concept that I, surprisingly, didn't mind. Its budget is certainly modest. I am shocked that The Asylum would fit the bill to film in Africa and I dont think it was even necessary. Thats money that might have gone into some better sets or more action. It sort of made me think of what a 1980s BBC version might have been like.
