I loved the MacGyver TV series and I also loved this MacGyver movie even though most people pick on it. It may not be 100% brilliant but it's great fun and has all the elements that made the TV show so great. Sadly, MacGyver is the only character from the TV show to appear in this movie. He teams up with Brian Blessed who I have always found amusing because of his booming voice and over acting. They go off to find the Lost treasure of Atlantis which nobody else believes exists. There is plenty of action and MacGyver as usual has to build things out of nothing to get them out of various pickles. The only thing that spoils this movie is the sets. The caves especially. They look like they've been built for a children's school play, but if you ignore that, you have a brilliant movie.
This tv-movie picked up right where the series ended and did a great job of delivering another MacGyver adventure! There's lots of great acting by all the cast, and some pretty cool music too. There's plenty of action and of course classic MacGyverisms! A triumphant return for MacGyver to television!
I'm actually watching this right now. It's on BBC1 at lunchtime on a Sunday, and it is ideal fair for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Forget the comparisons to India Jones - it's a TV movie, it isn't supposed to be oscar quality, or even quality that you'd pay money for. If you liked MacGyver at all, you'll know what to expect, and you'll like this. Nuff said.
Sunday movie made for TV film with Anderson reprising MacGyver who must find Atlantis, for some reason, and gets involved with serbs who hide out in Battersby Power Station and Brian Blessard overusing his loud voice in EVERY scene.The plot is horrible, the film is horrible, the action is non-existant and the whole thing sticks of Indiana Jones without the fun, adventure or indeed Dr Jones himself.Probably made as a cash-in on the Amiga/PC Indiana Jones Game "Fate of Atlantis", it finds MacGyver finding atlantis and its plantium computer...or something.Its bad. And so is MacGyver's Mullet.
