Les Gardiens du Trésor

Not without its flaws mind. The pace does meander in the last half-hour or so which makes the ending not as exciting as it could have, the story does have instances where it could have been explained more and where there was a suspension of disbelief and Raoul Bova and Volker Bruch are rather stiff and could have enunciated their lines much more clearly. However for a made for TV movie(a label that is enough to make anybody dubious) this is decent stuff, a million times better than anticipated. The production values are good, there isn't anything flashy but at the same time there is nothing that leaps out as amateurish. The music has moments where it rouses and also where it's low-key, both characteristics used well and appropriately. The dialogue is smart and provokes thought, while generally the story is well-paced, not too predictable for a concept that isn't all that original admittedly and has its fair share of fun and thrills. There are definitely moments where you are reminded of past adventure films but nothing that feels like a rip-off. The characters are likable though the types of characters are familiar(to be honest though that was expected), and the acting is above average apart from Bova and Bruch. Anna Friel in fact is very believable in the lead role, and Andre Jacobs is a good father figure. David Sherwood is underused but also brings admirable support. All in all, a quite decent movie that was also a pleasant surprise, considering how many terrible made for TV movies there have been recently and how the concept was suggestive of a perhaps mildly entertaining but uninspired movie. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Let me start by saying I love Anna Friel. I would watch her reading the phone book. But this movie is almost less interesting. The male romantic lead and his "brother" are a little hard to understand, and the concept of "treasure guards" is a notch below how the believable the Librarian is. And what-his-name Raoul the guy is hard to understand.

But what makes it clear how bad the filmmakers are is the fight scenes (impossible to follow) and the montages. The concept of the seal of Solomon is no worse that most other movies, but the writer(s) do not know how to tell a story. The directing is okay as long as no one is moving too fast, but nothing special. But I love Anna Friel.

As most people have said, a poor film with bits of Indiana Jones,,the Librarian and some Dan Brown bits which are poorly put together. It's ok if your a teenager or just want to waste a lot of time!

The worst thing for me was the 'score'! The music was intrusive and totally unrelated to the film!

Disappointed and not really worth the 4 stars I gave it, but Anna deserved better!

The characters were uninteresting, the plot was mediocre and the story pretty predictable , with luck it might have made a 'B' movie or a support film on a Saturday matinee but certainly was not going to be the main attraction!

"What could be more devout then protecting the relics that God himself has revealed to man?" While on a dig archaeologist Victoria Carter discovers an ancient parchment that tells the location of the lost Seal Of Solomon with God gave to King Solomon. When word of this gets out more then just Victoria begin to search for it. The search becomes a battle between good and evil. I am a huge fan of movies like this. Indiana Jones, National Treasure and the Da Vinci Code movies are so much fun to watch over and over so I was looking forward to this. The beginning started off OK and made me interested. The longer the movie went on though it started to drag and lose me a little, the end was OK but really this wasn't as exciting and interesting as I was hoping for. I would compare this movie more to the Libraian series then the other big budget ones like this, but seeing as they are both TV movies you can't fault it for that. Overall, an OK movie on it's own as long as you don't compare it to the big budget ones. I give it a C+.

I am SO into , ancient discovery , biblical type movies , I will watch them all ! But this one , was just only ok...... the location and settings were beautiful, but sorry to say that the storyline itself disappointed.

Look , it was good enough entertainment , but the acting skills were somewhat questionable !!

Also the music ! It was completely OTT , I felt that I was listening to a combination of The Davinci Code /Star Wars / The Exorcist !!! I thought I heard angels at one stage !!

I think, they might have thought that they had produced an epic here !!!

Anna Friel was good enough , snake handling and all !!!!!!

If you are into Indiana Jones etc. , then do watch it........ if only for the scenery .
