Legends of the Hidden Temple

I've never seen the television game show that this is based on, but 'Legends of the Hidden Temple' makes for OK viewing.

It's a decent adventure story featuring some semi-interesting scenarios, the battling brothers being the overall key to it all. I'm sure families will have a fun time watching this, despite it being aimed towards kids.

Isabela Moner is in this playing Sadie. I knew she's good at the craft after seeing her excel in 'Instant Family', she's definitely the standout here; though Colin Critchley and Jet Jurgensmeyer give fair performances too. Dee Bradley Baker's voice works well for King Olmec, also.

One for the family, for sure. Lastly, credit to them for making it a short watch - a full-blown production would've been superfluous.

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!

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 watched legend of the hidden temple the tv show when I was a kid, I'm 33 years old now and after watching the movie I was impressed. My childhood memories brought back to life with this movie. Good job! The Movie was Great they bring back the original host of the show Kirk Fogg my favorite host and Dee Bradley Baker as the original voice for Olmec. The Movie was Great they bring back the original host of the show Kirk Fogg my favorite host and Dee Bradley Baker as the original voice for Olmec. Isabela Moner is my favorite artist!. Well she's growing on me but still Thank You Nickelodeon, I also love Nickelodeon!...

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.
