Baby - Secret of the Lost Legend Reviews
Sappy and overly-cute
This is a dinosaur movie but there is not even a remote possibility that it could be mistaken for Jurassic Park .It centres on a young American couple ,played by William Katt and Sean Young ,who rescue a new born dinosaur baby from the African rain forest .He is a sportswriter and she a paleontologist .
The dinasuar's father has been killed by the evil scientist -Patrick McGoohan -who has also captured its mother .Katt and Young look after the baby ,and set themselves the twin tasks of saving it and rescuing its mother .
There follows a prolonged chase through the jungle aided by friendly natives and menaced by McGoohan and corrupt cops in his pay .
The main problem with the movie is its lurches in tone .There are several violent scenes and the suggestive dialogue between Katt and Young ,together with frequent semi-nudity between them ,renders it unsuitable for the younger audience while the often unconvincing special effects will not play well with older viewers .The dinosaurs are Ok in long shot but look very fake and plasticky in close-up having a Shirley Temple cutsiness that is slightly icky .
It falls between two stools -not really a kids movie and too childish for adults.
McGoohan -predictably -steals the acting honours with an enjoyably over the top impersonation of comic book evil
Not for children
I bought this movie for my daughters who are 4 and 5. I vaguely remember seeing this movie as a kid, and thought my 4 year old would love it as she is totally into dinosaurs right now. However, I was a little shocked to hear the foul language, not to mention the nudity and the violence. Granted, the nudity is not sexual in nature, but I still don't really think it was appropriate for my children at this age. The girls loved Baby and thought he was adorable, but ultimately, I decided that this movie is just not suitable, and had to "pull the plug", so to speak. Based on the dvd cover, I can understand how this movie would appeal to young viewers, but I really don't feel that it is appropriate for children under 13.
