This sequel to 1984's rip-snorting romantic-adventure, Romancing the Stone, is a moderately entertaining tale that pales by comparison to its predecessor. Romance novelist Kathleen Turner and retired soldier-of-fortune Michael Douglas return as a now-complacent couple. Bored with life on a yacht, they find excitement thrust upon them when she accepts a speaking engagement in the Middle East. Once there, she is abducted and finds herself involved with the "jewel" everyone is chasing. Douglas teams up once more with Danny DeVito to rescue his love. Less charming and more predictable than the original, this suffers for one simple reason: the characters have nowhere to go. In the original story we watched Turner blossom from timid storyteller to lusty adventuress. In this flick she is too much like all the other action adventure babes we've seen before. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 Great Classic on the perfect format January 31, 2010
Isaac R. Barker (ogden, ut usa)
This is a great classic Michael Douglas film. It looks the best it ever has on the blu ray format. The picture quality isn't as good as other blu ray movies from the same era, but it is much better than the dvd version. So if you are a fan of this movie definitely pick up this version.
 Best Wedding January 19, 2010
M. Bailey (Newport News VA USA)
This is a great action adventure comedy but one scene is better than the over all movie. That one scene makes this movie worth owning. The native wedding scene is, in my opinion, the best wedding ever filmed.

DMac (Terra Prime)
Excellent family movie! PQ and AQ above average. Good follow up story to Romancing the Stone.
Pleasing sequal November 29, 2009
Lance (SLU, WEST INDIES)
Jewel of the Nile is not as funny and entertaining as Romancing the stone, but it does provide good action, good acting and lots of laughs and entertainment. I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone looking for a couple of hours of adventure!
Fun movie. August 24, 2009
S. C. Mcloy (Cozad, NE United States)
"Jewel of the Nile" is a fun follow up to "Romancing the Stone". It is not nearly as good as the orginal, but worth watching on its own merit. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner sparing, then romancing, are great to watch. The shooting locations, action and humor are icing on the cake.
