what a mess . almost everything about allan quatermain and the lost city of gold be a complete and total disaster . in the movie and quatermain put a group together to search for his brother in the wild of africa . after face several dangerous and near death obstacle and quatermain find his brother living in the seemingly idyllic and utopian lose city of gold . but appearance can be deceive a the city be really under the control of a ruthless warlord intent on make the citizen his slave to mine the gold he be take out . can quatermain and his band of adventurer save these people . if i be to just make a list of everything that doesn not work in allan quatermain and the lost city of gold and my list would go on for page . i will begin with the act . to put it bluntly and it terrible . i have never think much of richard chamberlain a an actor and this movie do nothing to change that . a for sharon stone and i be sure she would like to see this thing bury . i doubt she consider it a highlight on her resume . james earl jones be an actor you can usually count on to give a quality performance regardless of the material . here and he just come across a embarrass to be associate with this drivel . technically and the movie be train wreck . direction and editing and and everything else you can come up with be as bad a i have see . but the special effect take allan quatermain and the lost city of gold to a new low . the blue screen effect be as bad a i have ever see . the rear projection use in the 1930s be 10x more realistic than the blue haloed actor on a bad look background see in this movie . the puppet snake make kermit look like a real frog . and and wire and harness and and the like be readily evident . like i say when i start and it a mess . i haven not even get to the plot and but why bother . it a poorly write a you can imagine . the only thing that keep me from rating this movie a negative be the groovy outfit wear by cassandra peterson . it too bad she only get 10 or so minute of screen time because i dig some of those costume .
