flynn carsen is literally the perfect man. I will not settle for anything less.This third entry seems to have struck a good balance between Quest for the Spear's globe trotting adventure/crappy CGI fest and the more grounded but less fun Return to King Solomon's Mines. Most of the action takes place in and around New Orléans and while you can certainly feel some of the constraints that having one location has on an adventure yarn I think they do a pretty good job giving us different set pieces within the area such as gothic churches and cemeteries, creepy swamps and a pirate ship, or dive bars and jazz clubs. Most importantly though is that the humor is brought more to the fore and quite well done; these films definitely have an old school…
I was always curious about these Librarian TNT movies. Well now I have seen all three in the series. Sadly each movie seems worse than the previous one. In Curse of the Judas Chalice. Flynn (Noah Wyle) is tired of being the Liberarian. so to stop him from melting down. Bob Newhart and Jane Curtain send him on vacation. Of course the place he chooses for vacation just happens to be where the latest bad guys are up to no good. This time around you get bad Russians, vampires, voodoo and of course hidden treasure. Sadly by the time Flynn has to save the world again. it seems that the fun and excitement of the first movie is long gone. This was the last…
*you own a 3 disc Dutch blu-ray set
Stan. stop reading reviews. it will only upset you.
As you type this you are currently pissed after reading several reviews of people who disliked the first two of the series yet still chose to watch the third. who are these people? If you take a bite of something and it tastes like shit do you take another? I wouldn’t, but maybe I can see why someone might..perhaps it looked really good and just maybe it was simply a bad bite? However, if the second bite tastes like shit and you go for a third you are an idiot. I liked the first two, thought they were fun. the third isn’t an exception and it has vampires. this is something I could see watching with my son around first grade.. after (or maybe before) the Indiana Jones films.
My star rating is out of proportion - but I had so much fun. At times it had moments that were (in the context of this kind of film) genuinely great.
Stana Katic wasn't perfect sometimes, but when she was, she really was. The other moments she was kinda cute. And the bad guys were pretty good. Bruce Davison upstaged everyone.
Indiana Jones meets James Bond meets Anne Rice and Bram Stoker, all thrown into the blender and finished off with a pinch of simple humor.
Perfect late night viewing.
Flynn: (after saving Simone) trip wire. Would you survive that?
Simone: Head cut off? As bad as sunlight. I go poof.
Flynn: Stake through the heart?
Simone: Only wood from an aspen tree will work. (After thinking about this) Hey! This was definitely fun and I loved Judson in this the most! Also loved the vampires and the gothic vibes, so marking this as my Spooktober movie #17.
This was about on par with the other films of the series. I kind of feel bad for Newhart and Curtin for getting roped into all of these. Let them have their dignity!
A return to form. Even if the form wasn't that good to begin withI first stumbled across this movie on a hotel TV and am always delighted to be reminded of its existence. How many years have I spent trying to convince people it is in fact a real film, directed by Riker and featuring Beckett from Castle as a French vampire who sings so high that she can break stained glass??
I, like a scholar of the seemingly-mythical vampyres themselves, was seen as a raving madwoman. And yet-- and yet! It lives! Some kind of charming yet curséd undeath, to be sure, but what thrills. What fun! What choice use of the font papyrus! This review was sponsored by the New Orleans Tourism Board.
I just really like all these movies just started the series as well lol 😂 silly fun that’s what I like sometimes 👍

Reviews for "The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - A Star-Studded Cast"
- John Smith - 2 stars - I found "Librarian Curse of the Judas Chalice Cast" to be quite disappointing. The storyline felt forced and confused, with unnecessary subplots that only served to distract the viewers from the main story. The acting was also subpar, with even experienced actors like Noah Wyle failing to deliver captivating performances. Additionally, the dialogue was often cliché and lacked depth, making it difficult to become invested in the characters or their journey. Overall, I had high hopes for this movie but it fell flat and failed to live up to its predecessors.
- Emily Johnson - 2 stars - As a fan of the previous "Librarian" movies, I was excited to watch "Curse of the Judas Chalice Cast" but ended up feeling disappointed. The plot felt convoluted and lacked the excitement and adventure that I had come to love in the series. The chemistry between the characters, which was one of the highlights of the previous movies, also felt lacking in this installment. The addition of new characters didn't add much to the story and, in fact, made it feel cluttered and overcomplicated. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this movie to fans of the series, as it fails to capture the magic and charm of its predecessors.
- David Thompson - 1 star - "Librarian Curse of the Judas Chalice Cast" was a complete letdown. The plot was weak and full of holes, making it difficult to follow or become invested in the story. The action scenes were poorly choreographed and lacked the excitement and intensity that I had come to expect from the previous movies in the series. The character development was also lacking, with most of the characters feeling one-dimensional and uninteresting. Overall, this movie felt like a cash grab, as it failed to deliver the quality and entertainment value of its predecessors.
