Mummies

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.
