    Easily Forgettable!

    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!

    Surprisingly Watchable!!!!!!

    I was kinda bored yesterday so i decided to check out what was on TV and I came across this movie titled "Treasure Guards". Having not have heard about it i decided to give the movie a watch and it turned out to be surprisingly watchable.Even though the plot and twists and turns will remind you much about the many other adventure movies like National Treasure and Indiana Jones,the movie just manages to hold your attention to the last bit.The actors manage to give fair performances.The story is pretty decent even though some parts may seem unbelievable .Overall,a fun one time watch if you've got nothing to do on a lazy evening!

    A treasure hunting movie that was OK but not as much fun to watch as the National Treasure series. Not bad for TV. I say C+

    "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+.

    Worth watching for Anna Friel

    Surprisingly watchable. Anna Friel (best thing to come out of Rochdale since Gracie Fields) is lovely as archaeologist Victoria Carter. Frankly if it hadn't been for her I wouldn't have stuck with it.

    Unfortunately she does eclipse her 'co-stars' Raoul Bova and Volker Bruch who are wooden and difficult to understand. Scenes with just the two of them are painful. And they do spoil the film.

    I actually thought David Sherwood was good as Professor Elgar but he doesn't pop up much, either in this film, or on film generally. Shame. Andre Jacobs, as her dad, does a good impersonation of Roger Moore. But we don't see much of him either. Until they all get together at the end.

    There's a bit of topless nudity early on (not Anna) and the whole thing sets off at a fair old pace as she discovers an ancient parchment that may reveal the location of the seal of Solomon.

    The plot wasn't easy to follow but the dialogue was believable, at least the bits I could understand. Not bad for a writer who cut her teeth on Eldorado! Anyone remember that?

    Anyway I'm going to be generous and give it a six.

    Entertaining

    Stumbled onto this while wandering through Amazon Prime movies. A very Euro-cosmopolitan film with just enough plot twists to keep us watching to the end. Ana Friel must have worn a different outfit in each scene and each accentuated that particular scene. Brother's acting might have seemed wooden, but when you have brothers, you can totally relate to their interactions. Recommended for light hearted escape from the world.

      The sidewinder rattlesnake is unique to the Sonnoran Desert of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico and is not found in Africa.

      In almost all the Arabic signs, many letters appear separated from each other. The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters, only 5 of them cannot be joined both from right and from the left in regular writing, printing etc. It seems obvious the makers of the movie used some translation device. This mistake also indicates that the movie was not shot in any Arabic-speaking country.
