The Librarian is Full of Surprises

I generally as a rule am not impressed with made of tv movies.   To me they tend to lack a little something that you normally get from a big screen adventure.  Maybe it’s the fact that I always feel like they are trying to teach me something and are a little “after-school special”.

But when I saw “The Librarian: Quest for the Spear” (TNT) I thought what the hay.  I mean I was at the library and it was free to rent so if it was bad at least the only thing I would be out of was 2 hours and we have all done that.  So I went ahead and checked it out based heavily on the fact that I like Noah Wyle and was startling surprised.  It was actually good.

There are funny parts and the action was surprisingly natural and although they do throw a little romance in just for effect they give you a little twist with it.  The story is a little far-fetched but I guess that is why they don’t call it a documentary.

Extras were a lacking to me but I guess that could be because at the end of the day it is a TV/Cable movie. 

I would so recommend this to any Indiana Jones or Mummy fans.  You might find a new favorite.  I know I did.
