The Librarian III: The Curse of the Judas Chalice (2008 TV Movie)

Not bad but not really good either

[2/10 · 7 December 2008]

If I had not watched the first two Librarians back to back before the third one I would not be so critical. The vampire theme was OK but the whole production seemed to suffer from the bean counters bringing down the quality of the movie. Cheap sets, dark lighting and background music drowning out the actors made it a tedious two hours. There seemed to be very little chemistry between Noah and Stana - what there was seemed forced and over the top. The relationship between Noah and Sonya Walger was much better and much more believable. In one scene Stana beats up the bad guys but in the next they easily capture her. Even the bad guys just seemed to be just phoning it in. I know it's tough to try to live up to the first one which in my opinion was by far the best but it seemed like someone said, "How cheaply can we make this and still keep the audience?" I hope they learned a lot from this one. I will probably not be adding it to my DVD collection.
