The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Desertman84 The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice is the last film of the three films of The Librarian franchise. It stars Noah Wyle as Flynn Carsen,the former perpetual college student who now works as a librarian that protects a secret collection of artifacts such as that from the likes of Vlad Dracula and his vampire hordes.Bob Newhart,Jane Curtin,Stana Katic and Bruce Davison co-stars.In this TV movie,Flynn Carson is on a mission to recover the historic Judas Chalice when a French beauty Simone rescues him from dying.Unknowingly,Simone is into something deviant and evil behind her charm and beauty.Also,Flynn goes into New Orleans and tries to search the rumored remains of Prince Vlad Dracul wherein evil people intends to bring him back to life.This is probably the best of the three films.It is funny,enjoyable and entertaining.Also,it was less cheesy and provided some realism into the story.We also have great performances from the cast.Worthy of mention is Bob Newheart who was nominated for an Emmy.What's also interesting is the fact that we have seen the complete transformation of Flynn Carsen from being a perpetual student to a worthy librarian that will go against the evildoers and risk his life for the protection of the memorable artifacts.Overall,this great TV sequel is probably one good reason why The Librarian is now an on-going TV series.
Thomas Diemer Morgus Bay is named for Dr Mommus Alexander Morgus, a mad scientist character who introduced horror movies on television in New Orleans for thirty years - he is still active. His side kicks are an executioner type named Chopsley and a talking skull named Eric.The exterior for the building where the auction is held is the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, the interior is the New Orleans Museum of Art. The exterior of the museum/library where Flyn works is the New Orleans Museum of art, the interior the Old State Capitol Building!The interior of the Capuchin monestary where the chalice is hidden is St Alphonsus Church, the exterior is St Mary's Asumption. They are across the street from each other, St Alphonsus was the Irish Catholic Church, Saint Mary's Assumption was for German Catholics. (A third one for French Catholics has been torn down.)
ctomvelu-1 Flynn is burned out and takes some time off in New Orleans. He's not there an hour before he's caught up in a bizarre plot by an ex-KGB agent to revive Dracula (yes, Dracula) and raise an army of the undead. To do so, the agent needs to find a chalice made from the 30 pieces of silver given to Judas, hence the Judas Chalice. Along the way, Flynn meets a sexy singer who ably aids him in his battle with the Russian. Noah Wylie's Flynn is much more assured than in his first two outings, but he's still somewhat naive. Jane Curtin and Bob Newhart are back as Flynn's bosses at the magical library, and Curtin's role has been beefed up a bit. In fact, it is she who suggests the vacation. Bruce Davison has a meaty role as a befuddled scientist pressed into service by the Russian. A recent Bond girl, the very lovely Stana Katic, plays Flynn's exotic, ass-kicking love interest. In fact, the movie starts off with a James Bond gag and there are nods to (some might even say swipes from) other movies, including HARRY POTTER, Dracula 2000, BLADE and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. This special effects. photography and music are all first rate, and the jokes come just often enough. And wait until you see the revived Dracula. You may be surprised. Because of the nature of the plot -- the undead and bloodsucking -- I'd say keep the little ones away.
Jeffrey Welch How I love these movies! Sure, there is nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary about them, but the combination of humor (Jane Curtain, Bob Newhart,) Good direction (jonathan Frakes,) and a good solid lead (Noah Wyle,) just makes for enjoyable television. One of the most wonderful things about the series is that it doesn't presume the lowest common denominator on the part of the audience's intellect. It seems to be a series full of historic references that are designed to be aimed at people who can appreciate them. I very much enjoy the whole setup to the characters themselves. They are each given delightful backstorys that are fun as well as convincing. I have seen this compared to the Indiana Jones movies. While I agree with that in concept, I think there is a certain playfulness in these movies that the more serious...and far more expensive...Indian Jones films lack. My only regret is that these movies only come out every couple of years. I think that it would be great if this were turned into a regular series...or at least a few of them each year. These movies, to me, make up for the wasteland that is most of "normal" television programming.
