Rating: 3/5 -- So good-natured that whether the audience are smiling delightedly or groaning inwardly, all will be enjoying its visual beauty and plucky spirit. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Coasts in on a waft of burlesque acting and droll good humour, with each episode metaphorically framed by quotation marks. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Visually impressive old-school fun, anchored by a charmingly confident performance from Louise Bourgoin. Full Review

This is what comic-book movies look like when they're not blown up into $200 million monstrosities: friendly and eldritch and kinda cosy even in the middle of outrageous escapades. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Complete twaddle, trafficking heavily in bad CGI (dinosaurs, mummies) and prosthetics. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- [Blu-ray Review] It's got first-rate, photorealistic CGI effects, fine period art direction and costumes, and features an irresistible lead performance. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The film lacks the more corrosive aspects of [Jacques] Tardi's work, but Besson replaces it with something that gives the story a larger shape and meaning. Full Review

Product Description:

Writer-director-producer Luc Besson's affinity for megabudgeted, FX-heavy adventure spectacles is well-known and publicized; with his outing THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC, he adds yet another chapter to this tradition. An adaptation of a popular French comic book from the 1970s, it stars Louise Bourgoin (THE GIRL FROM MONACO) as the redheaded title character, a wisecracking, hard-living adventurer-cum-novelist living in pre-WWI France. As the tale opens, Adele is on a mission in Egypt, attempting to retrieve a sarcophagus and tote it back to Western Europe, but simultaneously attempting to fend off complications wrought by her nemesis, archaeologist Dieuleveult. She succeeds on both fronts, but upon returning runs headfirst into another issue: a Parisian scientist (Jacky Nercessian) with the power to heal Adele's comatose sister (Laure de Clermont-Tonnere) has accidentally let loose an ancient Pterodactyl above the Parisian skies. While a zany detective (Gilles Lellouche) and a hunter (Jean-Paul Rouve) attempt to eliminate the creature, the villains turn up yet again and try to thwart Adele's long-term plans.
