Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
knittinglady67 I've seen the movie more than once and whether on the big screen or TV, Lesley-Anne Down's hair coloring was so red that it took the attention off whatever was happening in a scene. I kind of got that it made her character more visible in crowd scenes, but it was really an annoyance. Don't know whose idea it was to give her hair such a jarring color, but it was so distracting. The romantic storyline with Frank Langella lacked any chemistry between the characters, it could have been stronger. Loved the Egyptian location and the archaeological treasures, tombs, etc. Made me want to visit and explore the Valley of the Kings. Overall it was a disappointment , not as interesting as the Robin Cook novel.
Robin Silver This movie follows right along with the book, but adds MUCH more due to the on-location sets and the very authentic ancient Egyptian stage sets. Most definitely worth the $5.00 you can get it for at flea markets!!!
witsend64 This is probably the slowest movie I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot since I watch BBC TV on satellite. The story is confusing, the acting is poor, and the casting is unbelievable. Lesley-Anne Down is the movie's only redeeming quality, and she spoils it by having to speak that innane dialogue! I've watched worse, but I've never sat through a slower movie!
patvagg sphinx is a great action adventure, full of mystery, terror and intrigue.Franklin J.Schaffner has made a classic Egyptian movie and the performances are terrific. Especially by Frank Langella and a superb cameo by Australian wonder Robin Hindson. All in all this is a must see of the 80's. Add it to your movie collection!
