King Solomon's Mines | Year: 1985 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - J. Lee Thompson Actors/Actresses: - Sharon Stone - Richard Chamberlain UNBELIEVABLE MUSICAL SCORE! It is not a good movie. Richard Chamberlain does not fit as Alan Quatermain, but Sharon Stone is shining. It is not faithful to H. Rider. Haggard's book, but it is a very nice script with great characters such as the bold nazi militar who's crazy with Wagner's music. If there's something that saves this movie is the original musical score by Jerry Goldsmith. It's something so beautiful and full of energy that doesn't deserve to be in such a bad movie (the special effects are worser than the ones used by Ed Wood jr). Yes, you must see this movie so as to fall in love with Goldsmith's music. If adventure has a name, it must be "Indiana Jones", but if "King Solomon's mines" would have been properly shot, Allan Quatermain and Jerry Goldsmith's music would have made an excellent competition for Indy and Jhon Williams outstanding score. Comic book All of those I see who deem this a "Indiana Jones" rip off aren't too swift! The indy films were actually rip offs of these stories which were written in the 1800's. This film is pretty good, it is VERY comic book with the acting, sets, effects and storyline. If you are a child of anything later than the 80s then you won't "get" this film. If you can't simply enjoy a film that is "family" oriented so be it. But many people enjoyed this film when it came out and still do! Its a fun romp similiar to the Indy films but with more cheeky humor. Sharon Stone takes on her early role and is quite silly and fun. FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY! I laughed through this whole movie. I'd never seen Chamberlain and Stone in a comedy before this. I thought it would just be an adventure movie, but it's not. It's so crazy! I couldn't believe my eyes! I enjoyed it, but I can't even begin to find the words to describe this film. You've really got to see this for yourself.
