Allan Quatermain and the Spear of Destiny

Obviously not a serious film and obviously on a low low budget but every actor and film maker has to start somewhere 😀 the mercenary who has his head ripped off was my favourite even though he never had any lines he was still better than some off the other actors in the film, he's got a big future ahead of him stick with it 😉 The film is only an hour long so not a feature film, it's not the best film I've seen but it's not the worst either I mean who doesn't love a good old adventure film, being filmed in and around leicester my hometown that gets a thumbs up from me, I would be shocked if the actor's even got paid for this 🤷‍♂️, all in all it's a low budget adventure film.

I saw this listed on Prime and sneaky Prime did not have a trailer for it. I believe the reason for this is that no sane person would watch the "movie" if they sat through a trailer. The "acting" is absolutely abysmal. Special effects and make-up are hilarious. Monotone lines spouted by one dimensional characters. This "movie" is less than an hour long if you remove the opening and closing credits.

Made on a budget of about £14.27, I have no clue how it got a 5.8/10.

Filming should have been done on a baked potato as this would certainly have improved the finished product. Terrible sound and lighting do not help either. "Actors" involved need to maybe take acting lessons. Script writer needs to not give up his day job. And do not get me started on the sets.

Wow, this really is utter tripe. Avoid like the plague, if you know what is good for you. I lasted 8 minutes longer than I should have but those 8 minutes will save you an hour of your lives.

One dimensional acting coupled with a dialogue that sounds like the "actors" are reading their scripts with the emotional attachment of cold custard. No atmosphere, no soundtrack it's quite obvious why it went straight to video. Got sucked in because of the ludicrous 5.8 rating I get there is still a post pandemic shortage of content but my fellow watchers must be truly desperate to give it such a high rating. . 15 minutes of my life I won't get back. The whole thing is so poorly put together you are left wondering why they even bothered. Might have as well gone down the pub and blown the budget on a round of beer. At least they would have something to show for it.

This is a student picture, their lectures should be sacked, never seen anything worse, teletubbies could do better

Only good feature, it was only an hour.

Thank god I have medication, this hopless drivel gave me no reason to live.

Could have done so much better with a class of primary school kids, definitely would have been a better script.

This is a student picture, their lectures should be sacked, never seen anything worse, teletubbies could do better And here is the last 22 characters.

I notice that some reviews score the acting as one dimensional. A line is one dimensional, where as a point is dimensionless. I am afraid that I would have to score the acting as pointless I.e, less than zero dimensions.

A wonderful illustration of pointless is portrayed by two of the heroes hacking and cutting their way through supposedly dense South American Jungle using a machete. The location was open woodland, and I don't believe the machete cut anything! So pointless.

The cinematography and lighting was poor with actors casting bizarre unwanted shadows.

The script was unexciting and mostly delivered in a flat pedestrian manner, but occasionally (agent Darling) enunciated deliberately and precisely.

Probably, the highlights are Marc Hamill's music in the opening and closing credits although it does contain echoes and motifs that sound familiarly like John Williams and Indiana Jones...

I wonder how well David Hardware's portrayal would have met Henry Rider Haggard's image of Quatermain?
