Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls (2008)
This is a Very Bad Movie
This is the worst movie I have seen in several years. It's worse than "Dungeons and Dragons" (2000).
The editing is abysmal. The cinematography is lousy. The acting is amateurish. The casting was apparently performed by lottery. The plot might be generously described as "loose." The dialogue is highly unnatural. I couldn't tell when it was supposed to have been set. There is what looks like a 19th century steam train, but Quatermain has velcro tabs on his pockets. Which reminds me that the wardrobe must have been just whatever was lying about. There was a weird mix and match of various styles and time periods which lent a great deal to the overall atmosphere of "slapped together." To be fair, though, I didn't watch the whole thing. So, maybe I'm off base. I watched the first 15 minutes, waiting for something believable or interesting to happen, then started fast forwarding and watching a couple minutes at a time, looking for the good parts. I never found them. I watched probably 25 minutes of it in all before I threw up my hands, declared defeat, and turned off the video in disgust.
Don't bother watching this film.
