Sacrées momies

OK... I watched this movie not knowing anything about it.

So are there some glaring issues, yea, but then once I heard about the fact this movie was made for $12 million and not $200 MILLION like sooooo many of todays movies, I gave it a TON more credit.

Its a typical kids movie, 'something happens, they go on an adventure to solve the issue, everyone is happy at the end'.

There is one issue that needs correcting, but with a $12 million budget, I can let it slide and for 4-9 yr old kids, they probably wouldn't notice anyways.

A decent non Woke movie that you can enjoy with the kids. I rate movies starting at a 5 and go UP or DOWN from there. This is a solid 5.5 out of 10.

Grab the popcorn and enjoy 90 minutes of family fun.

But then I remember I'm an older adult male and this is a children's animated movie. The one thing I will say is the voice acting was excellent and accurate as oppose to rubbish casting of Mario Bros! And its very sad that Mario Bros took in $31 million dollars in its opening week and a well put together movie like Mummies will not come close. Mummies also had an amazing musical number performed entitled The Ring is Mine and is very reminiscent of the classic The Girl is Mine performed by Paul McCarthy and Michael Jackson. Overall, the children will love it and really that's all that matters. Thank You!

I saw this movie come aorund in my local movie theatre and It thought; "let's watch that. It can't be too bad?" Yet, I was surprised, the movie does follow a generic plotline if you ask me, but the humor in this movie landed well with me. Which kind of surprised me, because I usually don't like the humor in movies like this. The actress playing Nefer was also a surprisingly good singer. Better than I was expecting from someone who doesn't really show up on mything on IMDb. I'd like to see/hear more of her. The 3rd act did somehow surprise me.

To concluse this review: it's a generic movie with CGI animation that cut corners in a few places(if you see them, you WILL notice it), but overall, it's a decent watch. Not too bad to put on for the kids and who knows, you might even like it yourself?

I don't normally review movies but thought the bad reviews was pretty unjustified. So figured I would do one.

First off, I quite liked the visuals of the film, you could tell they put a lot of work into the sets they used. Was is Avatar levels of good? Certainly not, but nonetheless was certainly good. Had quite colourful visuals and wasn't distracting in the way some newer cgi movies can be.

The voice acting I thought was quite good. Especially the two leads, they conveyed emotion quite well, which can be challenging for some voice actors. They knew the sort of story they wanted to tell and I think they did wonderfully.

After reading a few reviews it seems like many didn't even watch the movie. No mummies? There was plenty! They.even explain and show off the fact that they use magic to hide their undeadness.. Is even a plot point the villain hopes to use. Which upon thinking about it, would you want to spend literally thousands of years looking at the sunken and rotting face of your neighbours, kids or even significant other? Probably not right?

But it seems some couldn't even figure that part out when it is clearly shown in the movie.

Overall I thought the movie was quite good. It was fun and had a few funny moments. Was it perhaps for me? Certainly not, but it is my kids that is the audience after all. Which for me in the end, is all that matters. If my kids have fun.

As an older adult male, Mummies (2023) was a delightful surprise for me, despite being a children's animated movie. The film's concept is refreshingly unique, blending ancient Egyptian lore with modern-day adventures. What truly stood out was the charming chemistry and romance between the lead characters. The playful banter added lightheartedness, making their relationship both fun and heartwarming to watch.

Though designed for younger audiences, the witty dialogue and clever jokes kept me entertained throughout. It's one of those family-friendly films that has something for everyone. Definitely worth a watch if you're in the mood for some feel-good, animated fun!
