Finally an adventure film featuring a female lead that actually gets it right. After sitting through the terrible Lara Croft films this piece of whimsy from Luc Besson a director not exactly known for his light touch i.e. The Transporter series.
This film is based on a comic book series and mixes two plots. One involves a pterosaur on the loose in Paris during the early 1900's and a bunch of Egyptian mummies brought back to life.
The heroine Adle Blanc-Sec manages to interact with all this craziness without running around in extremely tight or cleavage enhancing outfits. She also doesn't perform ridiculously over the top action stunts that would seriously injure or pretty much kill anyone else. However she does have a brain in her which she actually uses.
Probably one of the better adventure films I have seen in a long time.
107 minutes.
