An adventure set in the early part of the 20th century and focused on a popular novelist and her dealings with would-be suitors, the cops, monsters, and other distractions. (IMDb)
I feel sorry for this movie, I think I heard it did not do well in the box office. But actually it feets to make a series of adventure movies. Adele is a novelist and quite popular in her field, she writes and researches for one single goal, to save her sister. For this she travels to Egypt and wants to steal a mummy of the most famous doctor close to Pharao. She wants to bring him back to life.
Although it has a light-hearted tone of a comdey, but when it comes to her sister you can feel the guilt and despair of doing anything, including believing in supernatural.
Directed by Luc Besson, most knows for The Fifth Element.
I've seen the original comics, I couldn't read it (it was in French) but must say they picked a gorgeous actress to be a female lead and also adapted the comics well. Although of course they brought up their own work into it.
The movie has elements of mysticism, which is quite interesting. But I personally like that they gave it a bit of a comic look (just looking at the detective with his big fake ears and nose). It reminded me how Adventures of Tintin from 2011 looked like.
Adele is fearless in what she does because she has a strong motive.
The plotline isn't anything complicated, although a bit unexpected (I mean dinosaur egg hatching, of course it's something unexpected). Also.. French totally do not beautify, I think the only truly pretty part are women.
Actually, I forget to post about movies I watch here, I just remembered about this one.
