Mummies

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!

I never write reviews but for now it felt necessary. I had very low expectations due to reading earlier reviews on IMDB but actually, this movie isn't that bad. It is a kids movie and my kids and I liked it. It is not a block buster as Frozen etc but still just a funny movie. Storyline is easy, but is was funny and my kids (3 and 5) laughed and were intrigued by the story. It is just a funny kids movie easily to watch. Would definitely recommend.

I have seen far worse kids movies (Maya the Bee, Superpets for example). During that movies I checked my watch regularly and noticed that my kids got distracted. But they really liked this one from beginning to end.

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!

Don't expect to much from this film. Shrek it is certainly not, its Just a good all round kids movie. Casting is good, performances are generally solid, and the storyline was entertaining enough to keep my 7 yr focused and engaged from beginning to end.

Lastly, Thankfully the movie was free of the current usual, overtly political agenda nonsense that's been filling our screens over the past few years. Thank you Warner for having produced a film that at its heart is a simple uncomplicated kids movie that isn't out to beat the hell out of the audience by force feeding them social political agenda's that aren't appropriate in a kids film.

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.
