7/10
Not as bad as the Chamberlain/Stone monstrosity
30 May 2022
This is an OK version of the story. Some not great special effects, and highly unlikely indiana-jones style scenes with booby traps (also, a mine that's like... 100m deep at most?) ... but apart from that much better than the 1985 attempt which was slapstick racist comedy.

At least this is serious, and is more respectful of African culture. Here Mbobo is dignified and serious, and treated with respect by Quatermain. Otherwise it's pretty predictable. Mystified by some of the actors' accents though. They seem to be mostly American and Australian rather than South African. Is that intentional?
