Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena S h uma coisa boa com relao a este filme: suas cpias em DVD e VHS so vulnerveis ao fogo e a golpes de marreta. Rated: 1/5 Nov 11, 2003 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com Rated: 2/5 Sep 23, 2002 Full Review Alex Ramirez Cinenganos Nunca vi los episodios de TV, pero parece que -definitivamente- hubiera sido mejor verlos en vez de meterme a la sala de cine y soportar esta cinta.

Audience Member A box-office hit in France, at least their version of The Mummy meets Night In The Museum boasts a setting among many of the greatest artworks of the world. Otherwise this is one big fat laughably ridiculous mess! Somehow an Egyptian mummy's spirit infiltrates the electrical system of the Louvre, then later possesses the body and mind of ever beauteous Sophie Marceau. Guards and service personnel are killed nightly by "the phantom" but the museum is not closed for the flimsiest reasons, and no further precautions are taken to stop the mayhem. Two civilians wander at will through dangerous restricted construction areas under the city without anyone even telling them so much as to put on a hardhat. Sophie and Frederic Diefenthal the electrician she meets have a good rapport, but too often she's sent into a zombified stupor under the control of Belphegor. If not for getting a brief flash of her fabulous French fanny, one would feel really cheated. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not scary at all, if that's what they wanted the movie to be. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Out of all the Mummy movies and Indiana Jones type movies this unknown but excellent film is about one of the best I've seen with a host of not known stars here in the US. Enjoyable from start to finish 4 stars 9-13-12 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Really interesting story about mummy in Louvre... kinds of historical background... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Ghost of a Mummy haunts the Louvre. The CGI ghost is not very impressive at all, and since none of the characters can actually see it, it's pretty pointless. Just the audience are treated to poorly rendered effects. On top of that we have some bizarrely outdated, at times laughable, effects. A ghost on wheels to give the impression of floating. Running down the stairs with constant fade effects. This is the kind of stuff they used in silent movies. Effects aside, the story isn't much better. A phantom mummy haunts the Louvre in order to acquire the artifacts it needs to go into the afterlife. There isn't much going on in terms of character,and by the end it's hard to care what happens. Here is a spirit trapped in the world of the living, but it's a malevolent spirit that kills. Also, it only kills characters we don't know, so it's hard to connect. Simple and not very effective. Luckily, Marceau is beautiful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Aside from the fact that it stars Sophie Marceau this movie has little to recommend it.
