Tara Brady Irish Times A bumbling excavator is not the worst idea, even if the new film fails to go the full Clouseau. Rated: 2/5 Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The storytelling, characterisation and animation are all mediocre. Rated: 1/5 Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) It's all very TV. And probably not worth the trip. Rated: 2/5 Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Rolando Gallego EscribiendoCine Although aimed primarily at a children's audience, the film also captivates adults with a dynamic script loaded with multiple references to global pop culture... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 May 3, 2024 Full Review Lara Ben-Ameur Espinof It seems to conquer the youngest public, and that has its merits. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 27, 2019 Full Review Ross Miller The National (Scotland) A stepping stone for its young target audience who deserve bigger and better things, and despite its lively pacing, this is a fairly trying animation to get through. Rated: 2/5 Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Pillow R Mediocre pointless boring stupid slop with weak writing. Absolutely obnoxious Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Nathaniel S This movie will definitely help you get ready for a one night stand. The absolute baddie that is Sarah makes Tad look like a bum compared to her. She has a beautiful face and curves, coming in with an astounding level 10 GYAT, only comparable to one of Livy Dunne. Tad jones meanwhile looks like a 40 year old hobo who didn’t get his first job until the age of 30. The comedic mummy brings the whole movie together, along with his hot girlfriend who is also a mummy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Biel S Still the best tadeo jones movie out of the three. I just loove the story and characters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent enough watch, can't say I'd ever watch it again, and can only recommend to a younger audience. This is half "ugh, a kids movie", and half "man, this is dark for a kids movie". The opening scene is a murder, there is a undead mummy character, and (for what looks like a Nickelodeon animation) the bad guys are firing guns, and kidnapping characters at threat of life. That said the animation and writing isn't so bad, and the characters are interesting, if annoying. The whole thing also feels like a Happy Madison plot where "schlubby guy" wins over a successful, beautiful woman. There just isn't a lot here to get behind, but its got just enough to be entertaining. Maybe it just wasn't for me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent animated adventure story and follow-up to the original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Between 2.5 and 3. Although action is quite brainless, the opportunity to see some of the nicest places in the world with a good image and nice characters is enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
