I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

the audience applauded

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

You have a writer who is desperate to save her sister, now that's a simple summation, but this movie is way more than that! On the surface, we're going female-centric Indiana Jones territory, but nope, you've already been fooled! Adele Blanc-Sec is way less scrupulous than Jones, and she doesn't even come close to the rules! Then we're in an early 20th century Jurassic Park and...nope, you're fooled again! We have shenanigans going on in Paris, we have authorities humorously passing the buck, down the chain of command, we have a not-so-intrepid inspector, a clueless game hunter, a lovelorn buffoon and a very weird professor who are all orbiting Adele, and she plays off of them very nicely, with spunk, guts, and a fair amount of snark. On the surface this shouldn't work, too many different things going to be contained by the storyline, but they make it work! Louise Bourgoin steals the show as Adele, and she is tough as nails, witty and utterly adorable. Somehow, she makes this all work. Now I don't speak French, but several people have said she's a terrible actress, but she made me believe she was who she was supposed to be, and seemed quite natural. Supposedly, this is the first part of a trilogy, so get cracking on the sequel!!

adventures. humor. splendid images and perfect choice for the lead role. nice performance and the same Basson. a film who not gives nothing unexpected but confirms a lot. a movie who has flavor of fairy tale and charm of French cinema but who is defined by fine manner to present an original story in a precise manner , using fireworks, interesting cast and few drops of cultural references for better level of entertainment. a show in deep sense, in Luc Besson style, who , after its end, remains charming at whole. a courageous young woman and her fight for noble purpose. one of films who opens a large window to childhood memories.

First of all, why isn't this film better known? I discovered it by accident on DVD and what a total delight it is! (: Every single aspect of the filmmaking works! The camera work, sets, costumes, editing, (witty) script, performances (esp. Louise Bourgoin, who should be a major major movie star!), direction (I don't always like Luc Besson, but he's brilliant here), great special effects, the best use of animation with live action I have ever seen. I love every single thing about this movie! I love that it is 1:47; some of these types of films are too long but this movie is just the right length. I absolutely implore you to watch the film in FRENCH, and not in English - it's a totally different experience and it only works in its' native language. (Simply go to the setup and switch to French).French actors get a chance to do something completely different and without exception everyone delivers! I was captivated every single moment of this movie! It's a must-see! And why isn't Louise Bourgoin a better known French actress? She's a total delight!

Originally released in 2010, this big-screen adaptation of Jacques Tardi's acclaimed graphic novels is every bit as potent as any of the ones being made in the U.S. from the likes of Rick Riordan, Stephenie Meyer, and others.In 1912, reporter and adventurer Adele Blanc-Sec embarks on a journey to Egypt to unearth the mummy of Ramses II's personal doctor. Her plan is to bring the mummy back with her to France, where she'll raise him from the dead and ask for his assistance in healing her catatonic sister. Little does she know of the perils awaiting her when she returns to Paris. While she's been away, a 136 million year old egg has hatched in the Natural History Museum. A wild pterodactyl now flies the skies in search of its next meal. Only Adele possesses the knowledge to tame the prehistoric beast.Director Luc Besson successfully blends together the excitement of adventure movies like "The Mummy" and "Indiana Jones" with an emotional depth usually only found in foreign romantic dramas. He finds a perfect balance of quirkiness, action, comedy, romance, and crisis. With these ingredients, Besson creates a truly unique fantasy film that will appeal to female and male audiences alike.Louise Bourgoin is perfect in the role of Adele Blanc-Sec. The role appears to come naturally to the actor, as she hops on the back of a pterodactyl for a ride or falls through the floor of a pyramid inside the coffin of an ancient pharaoh while dressed in a petticoat and bonnet. It's very much like witnessing Mary Poppins work as an archaeologist instead of a nanny.The special effects and CGI used in "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec" look just as good, if not better at times, than anything we see in American-made films. The pterodactyl and mummies we see are frighteningly lifelike. This keeps the audience from being taken out of the viewing experience or getting distracted from the storytelling.The movie is rated PG for some violence, language, brief sensuality, and rude humor. There's really only one scene of a "dancer" wiggling around on a man's lap making sensual noises for parents of youngsters to deal with. The rest of the content isn't anything we haven't already seen in a Harry Potter or Indiana Jones film."The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec" will appeal to fans of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and other film adaptations of YA novels. Imagine any of those movies given an injection of French sophistication and classiness and you get a good idea of what to expect. It also puts a female in the lead role of an adventure film, which we don't see very often and will no doubt please many women (and men).
