The Librarian: Quest for the Spear

Yes, this is a goofy Indiana Jones knock-off... yes, the acting and writing are cheesy... but there is something very watchable about movies like this.

Quirky and cute, but without any substance. It promises nothing but face-palmingly bad jokes and cheesy music, and we get this in droves. The characters are at least likeable, even if they do tend to fall in love at the drop of a hat.

A poor man's National Treasure, with a lower budget, a worse supporting cast (Noah Wyle in the lead is actually pretty good), and much worse CGI. The music is often inopportune and overall the movie has a very obvious B movie feel. But it was kinda fun in a family-friendly way.

Omg? This film is just a serie of predictable events splashed after one another without even decent acting or a good plot. CGI effects were also terrible, actually it's just a complete disaster. I wanted to see this because mythologie interests me, but it's just worthless.

i guess even if you have a modest budget--no, a terribly small budget--you can still make a solid movie provided you have a good story (even though completely over-the-top) and noah wyle.

Tried watching this. Really tried. Didn't succeed.

This is one of the most B movies I have ever seen. The plot leaps unexpectedly and entertainingly from one ridiculous place to another, which is pretty much what makes it worth sitting through. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which saves it a bit. It's certainly not very good, but it's got some underlying charm. I went in expecting a ludicrous B movie, and that's what I got. I was strangely entertained. If you can't see past a ridiculous plot, avoid.

The Librarian was a good romp across time. Noah Wyle is tasked with being The Librarian, a kind of super hero for the Smithsonian Crowd. The movie was equal parts action, historical sci-fi, and comedy. The casting was great. I love seeing Jane Curtin in movies and Bob Newhart always warms the crowd as a character. I am glad to know that there is anothet movie in this series because ,even at a two hour runtime, I craved for more. But then again I liked Da Vinci Code and National Treasure

don't remember it

Worse than I expected.

Really cheesy with not quite enough laughs, but still mindless fun at times.

While watching this, I kept wondering just whom it was geared to (extremely precocious tweens? Yeah, right...), but it's a light-hearted, campy, surprisingly entertaining romp. There are far, far worse ways to pass a couple of hours.

So cheesy. Its got energy, but objectively, this camp family-oriented adventure film is just not very good. Having watched TNT's The Librarians, which continues the franchise's distinctive style in a TV format that works well, this film provides backstory into Flynn, making it moderately less tedious than it otherwise would have been.

This came out the same year as National Treasure lmao.

Because of it's camp style

National Treasure meets Harry Potter with some very cheesy acting and a ripoff plot from Dr. Jones.

A painfully average TV movie version of Indiana Jones. The first half hour is interesting because it tries to be its own thing. After that not even a whacky Noah Wyle can save the film from boredom.

Everything in this movie is rushed and mostly everything made no sense at all. The dialogue was awkward and the main character unrealistic. You see where I am going with this? Making a movie on the scope that The Librarian wants to be but only having half a budget plus a few shoddy writers just doesn't produce very good results. At least Kyle McLachlan was there to pick up some of the scraps. I am a sucker for an Indiana Jones-like setting but it was an absolute disaster of a set-up and a film.

More children-oriented Indiana Jones.

Ok, yes, it's cheesy fun. Bad special effects, hokey score and (with the exception of Wyle, Curtin and Newhart) cardboard characters but I'd still rather watch this than "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".
