It was not bad but not exceptional either. Actually, it's a little bit like 'Jaws' but instead of sharks, you have some lions. The whole thing was rather well made but not really orginal and really predictable. Still, it is definitely worth a look though.

Pop Quiz: The Ghost and the Darkness is to lions as *blank* is to sharks. Is the answer: A.) Jaws B.) A Sharks Tale C.) Open Water OR D.) Jaws: The Revenge ?

If you answered D, youre right!!! Because The Ghost and the Darkness is one of the most sh*t-tastic major-studio release films to ever be made and it is about man-eating lions. Val Kilmer plays Dudley Do-Right on safari except ... read more

"14.4. Poikamaisesti virnuileva Val Kilmer ja krapulaisen näköinen Michael Douglas metsästävät kahta ihmissyöjäleijonaa, jotka syövät siltatyöläisiä pimeässä Afrikassa. Elokuva perustuu tositapahtumiin, jossa nämä leijonat söivät yhteensä yli 100 työmiestä. Joka tapauksessa leffan tapa esittää tämä on se, että leijonat vain kävelevät työläisten leiriin, nappaavat pari miestä suuhunsa ja kävelevät pois. Tämä naurattaa melkoisen paljon. Elokuvan paras kohtaus n�"

"Katsottu: 2.1.2013 Val Kilmer tappaa puolivahingossa leijonan yhdellä luodilla. Tilalle tulee kaksi kovempaa kissapetoa, jotka terrorisoivat huolella pientä afrikkalaiskylää. Oikeasti Kimer on rakentamassa siltaa, mutta huomaakin pian olevansa leijonajahdissa. Ihan kiva leffa, jossa Douglas tulee pallinaamailemaan puolessa välissä. Kilmer on vielä tässä vaiheessa uraansa suhteellisen siedettävä kaveri ja tekee hyvää duunia. "

"20.10 Muutamaa typerää ja koko elokuvaa ratkaisevaa virhettä lukuunottamatta ihan kelpokatseltavaa seikkailua. Tiivistunnelmaisesta miljööstä ei nyt tällä kertaa ole saatu kaikkea mahdollista irti, eikä leijonia tai Michael Douglasia ole ruudulla tarpeeksi. Tämänkin elokuvan kohtalo on, kerran katsoo, sitten unohtaa."
