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

Aisle Seat
Rating: 3/5 --
It all plays on one note of droll flippancy, which, while pleasingly mordant, is all style and very little substance.

Time Out
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.

The Dissolve
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.

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

Rating: 3/5 --
Flagrantly silly, but also disarmingly feather-light and charming.

Little White Lies
It is a pleasure to look at, but the performances are heavy-handed rather than pleasantly stylised and the whimsy over-abundant.

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.
