	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Van Damme's studiously hokey action-adventure is interesting only for being so totally familiar, even if you've never seen another film about a Ghan-Gheng martial-arts match in an ancient Lost City in Tibet."	NEU
United Kingdom	Darren Bignell Empire	"This is often unintentionally amusing, and entertains for all the wrong reasons (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"A martial arts adventure odyssey that’s epic in scale and high in style."	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"[It] is at its best in its first half (...) Once the competition starts, 'The Quest' is only as amusing as these films can ever be. The structure allows for no surprises."	NEU
United States	Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle	"Wrong-headed and naïve (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
