A Disappointing Continuation
Humbersi
The first must-see film of the year.
Bumpy Chip
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I have no idea how this show was green-lit, or how it got away with the shoddy work that it did. The editing is disgustingly terrible. The "evidence" they use to justify recording is laughable. It's a show that has nothing to show for its expense, yet they try to convince the audience that the team is perpetually on the verge of discovering something groundbreaking. It's insulting, and a perfect example of "investigative" reality shows on the paranormal that have gone too far.

Apparently this show was written by children. It's a truly pathetic attempt to make archeology more interesting by adding a legend quest theme. but it actually does more harm than good. It's as dumb and retarded as ancient aliens which also manages to take the hard work of scholars and regress it to mysticism and film flam.I actually enjoyed it because I like to hate things and this show provided me with a non stop tirade of hatred. It manages treat the audience like morons. It uses editing techniques to add bad voice overs to scenes where there clearly wasn't any dialogue. The editing in general is just awful. It's a mish-mash of extreme close ups and non-existent suspense. The episode I watched featured 3 close ups of spiders.The Indiana Jones knock off host just pisses you off. He is arrogant and manages to lose his Scottish accent in favour of an American accent on numerous occasions seemingly in dramatic situations.For a show that presents some adventure and history check out digging for the truth instead.

Legend Quest is SyFy's attempt to create a modern Indiana Jones (with a bit if Dan Brown thrown in for good measure), and is about as historically accurate. Host Ashley Cowie certainly looks the part, right down to the 5 o'clock shadow and the shoulder bag (it's a satchel!) In a half an hour of television, this "archaeological explorer" (whatever that means) seeks to solve the great mysteries that have plagued historians and archaeologists for centuries. Along with him is Kinga Phillips, a buxom "field producer" who's sole purpose is to be a sounding board for Cowie's wild assumptions and theories. Some of his leaps of logic are laughable at best. "Hey, this two headed eagle has wings. The Ark of the Covenant had angels with wings. It must be a clue!". The show's structure is much like a treasure map. "Take 20 paces to the the south west". One clue leads to another and another. If it were that easy, they would have solved these centuries ago. Rubish.

Why oh why, must Sy-Fy continue to bring out one "reality" show after the other in which we are treated to men and women who seek that which cannot be found. I watched the first episode last night knowing they weren't going to find anything and sure enough they didn't. Just another Josh Gates doing a bit different job. C'mon Sy-Fy, stick to the cheap movies you put out and kill off most, if not all, of these silly "reality shows." I watched GHI just prior to Legend Quest and they didn't find anything either. It would seem to me, that not only could they kill off these shows, but then they (Sy-Fy) could use that money to improve on their new Saturday night movie or they could keep shows like "Haven" coming. Maybe they could even pickup "The Gates" and show those episodes again. So many things they could do with all the reality money.
