Leofwine_draca An Egypt-themed B-movie from the Sci Fi Channel. I'm not sure that many people will be wowed by this set-up or idea and indeed the execution turns out to be just a poor as in many a film made by the channel. The storyline sees a couple of heroic characters teaming up to battle an ancient curse whereby a Sphinx is wreaking havoc in the modern world and killing all who stand before it.Despite the Egypt theme and setting, this cheapo movie was made in Canada and boy does it show. None of the sets are remotely convincing, the CGI effects are awful, and nowhere is there an air of authenticity. Instead, the film happily copies and combines the characters from the INDIANA JONES and TOMB RAIDER franchises, to ill effect. Dina Meyer (STARSHIP TROOPERS) is the ageing female lead, saddled with an awful hairstyle and trying desperately to be Angelina Jolie (hint: she isn't). Lochlyn Munro is the chubby, goofy Indiana Jones wannabe (he even dresses the same) and frankly he's an embarrassment. RIDDLES OF THE SPHINX is thus barely watchable.

YetTheSoulObeys Terrible film. Going in I knew it was going to be classic low-budget quality, but as someone who loves mythology and history I decided to give it a go. However it was without question a waste of time; terrible acting, writing, quality, and editing, the characters that should have been brilliant were about as quick as children, and tried to blatantly rip off Lara Croft and Indiana Jones, it was incredibly predictable, and I don't think any research was done (see the goofs section). I could go on, but I think you get the point.Don't waste your time on this like I did, I wish I had read the reviews here first because they said it all: Waste of time. :/

meldaviszoo Is there any way you could just FIRE your writers, directors and casting director? They need to be told they don't have any business being in this business. The actors didn't even seem convincing, so either this is because they are just that bad OR the director doesn't know how to help anything. The beast didn't look good in the least bit either. I really don't understand the continual monies filling the coffers to waste film on these "productions." There are better stories, better heroes and better music.Terrible drudge. Waste of time is what my 13 yr old boy commented to me about this "movie" I am using that term loosely here. Someone needs to seriously get someone new to head up the programming for SciFi, someone with the ability to tell someone no when they hear a bad idea. I've seen B-rated movies that are better than this, B-rated movies that SciFi channel PLAYS on it's channel. Why don't they take some pointers even from those movies and you know... strive for that?

leader-16 When i saw the preview for this last Saturday, i thought it was going to be a stupid mummy horror film. What i got was a future Indiana Jones story.Acting was alright for this, music was cool. I find it funny that he was dressed up like Indiana Jones, when there are supposedly in Greece, which is was probably just shot in a wooded area in Indiana or Canada, he was acting like Indy. That probably was the aim for this movie, and this is a rare treat, for those who like horror and comedy rolled into one. This has the potential of a Indiana Jones movie, too much actually, solving seven riddles to get rid of some transforming bird, (actually a gryphon most probably, it looked like one).The jokes kinda wore off, not real funny, it sounded like he was trying to be funny.OK movie i guess, i still have to see the other half of it before i make up my mind.
