Die Legende des geheimen Tempels

I am happy they brought back this game show. I was a little bit skeptical at first because, you know, how do you take a game show & make it into a movie??? I used to watch it as a kid when it was on air & wish I was able to compete on it. It always looked so cool. I'm glad that they used the original host as the guide as well as the team animals: green monkey, red jaguar, orange iguana, purple parrot, blue barracudas & silver snakes inside the temple & of course Olmec. It also included a lot of the original temple games & rooms from the game show like the Pit of Despair, the Treasure Room, the Quicksand Bog & the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, which is mind-boggling that it took them all night to assemble 3 pieces which, to me, is simple logic but then again the kids on the game show did have a hard time assembling it too. I also enjoyed the back story of Olmec & the temple, as well as the effects. The set design & scenery was beautiful. The writers did a good job on taking everything in the TV game show & expanding on it to make it into a 65 min movie. An oldie but definitely a goodie. I recommend this to all the fans of the game show & bring back the nostalgia of the early 90's.

Decent watch, won't watch again, can't really recommend.

For a movie based off a kids show from 30 years ago where children are so excited they can't put a 3 piece puzzle together, its about as good as it could be.

It allows for an interesting enough premise, but quickly becomes a cheap reference to the original show. The actual story line is touching, but not terribly substantial. I feel like I've seen the "disfunctional sibling relationship rectified due to a intense action situation" plenty of times, or maybe it's just so close to "I saved your life, you appreciate me now, so let's bang" trope.

For kids, I think this is fine, but its just not going to wow anyone.

To enhance the fun and nostalgia, I'd recommend watching the game show before the movie to make all the references to the names of the teams more enticing. My only two complaints about the movie are it not having enough suspense and it being too short. It should have been made at least an hour and twenty minutes long. Other than that, the script, tone, pacing, set design, costume design, and acting were executed pretty much perfectly. I also love the fact that the host of the game show itself, Kirk Fogg, makes a couple cameo appearances. The script has a lot of potential for sequels whether it gets to be a series of movies, a miniseries, or a show of its own. There's a lot that can be explored if they were to put the time and money into making it come to fruition.

I'am an unabashed fan of the game show, and to this day, I will never tire of it, no matter how many times I see each episode, it's just too good of a game show, balancing both mind and body into the mix for an exciting adventure that's never the same twice. While I was waiting for some episodes to come on DVD (I'm using various video websites to satisfy my cravings) to last forever in my future family, I heard about this movie coming soon. I was a little skeptical how the creators would handle it all in a movie, but they pulled it off nicely. The premise is very much compatible with the format of the show and I much enjoyed not only the return of Kirk Fogg and Olmec (voiced again by Dee Bradley Baker!) but several other homages as well that I won't reveal, you have to see it for yourself. It's not perfect, the irresponsible parent cliché, some implausibilities (a kid who can understand monkey language being one), and and preposterousness (the native people of Olmec's temple speaking English than some native language), but the good far outweighs the bad. I do hope they included episodes of the show when it comes out on DVD. Even if they didn't I'm not hesitating to grab it!

I know that was a bit harsh,but I did really like this film.First,the good,the characters they are decently developed and acted.The effects and action are decent,and the set design is amazing.The writers did a good job on taking everything in the TV show and expanding it.The humor,some jokes are really clever,like the references to the show ad some word puns.The score is good,and so is the cinematography.Now,the bad,the acting at times is too over the top.I thought that the movie was too fast in the last 30 minutes,and the biggest flaw,too much exposition,almost everything in the movie is explained,like come on,I think the audience can understand the movie without explanations every 5 seconds.All in all,this is a really fun nostalgiac film with a few flaws.
