The Jewel Of The Nile [1986]
Customer Review: Good Sequel, but Not a Contender
“Jewel of the Nile” is the sequel to “Romancing the Stone” and reunites Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito in another adventure involving treasure, mystery, and danger in a foreign land.
It feels very much like a sequel, as in, “This all worked the first time, so let’s do it again.” The result is a somewhat formulaic and predictable film, with less magic. Without it’s predecessor, viewers would be confused about what was going on with the characters. But, without it’s predecessor, it would have stood out more. Or, it might have flopped. A definite case of sequelitis, but a much milder case than the awful “Jurassic Park: The Lost World” which completely went awry, in my opinion.
All that said, “Jewel of the Nile” is still an above-average, fast-paced action/adventure film with enough of a plot and enough good acting to make it worth watching. It has an exotic setting, a good, if not memorable, musical score, and plenty of action. “Romancing the Stone” is a keeper; this one is a good rental (or to buy a used one cheap.
Customer Review: A classic comedy
A good adventure movie, who is now a classic. If you like the Indiana Jones style, you are going to be entertained by this movie. The best act is thoug by Danny DeVito. Not for my collection, but I was entertained!
