Gosh, this is a difficult movie to truly assess and I can see from the other reviews that opinions, though few, are definitely divided. Make no mistake, this is a silly and funny film, it will make you chuckle or laugh but it wont make you burst out into fits of hysteria.
The prehistoric bird and Egypt connection take some thinking about but never mind that, the story is a curious but acceptable one and the drama of the film itself and the sheer cinematography are a delight for sure. The leading actress does her part well and there are some very touching and memorable moments.
very much a film for the French I feel but I watched it with the English subtitles. I know nothing of the comics from which the story derives and I don't want to. the film sufficiently entertains and it is a film with a difference.
difficult to assist because it is 'no' Indiana Jones' which draws obvious comparison with the Egypt storyline but this is a splendid film in its own right and enjoy it for what it is.
