What a B-Grade movie



Dont go for the trailers....the movie is realy bad, and the dubbing in ENglish makes the movie even worse.

So, it's dubbed?

Good: this kind of "light" (or B-) movie may have a market if dubbed and easy on the audience.

Dubbing was the key of the success of the Spaghetti-Western, the Zombie-Horror, and all the B-movie European industry.

It's for sure not an art movie, something you want to see with subtitles.

I agree. It's a shame the decision was taken to dub it. I prefer watching films with subtitles. That said, this is a delightful film, definitely not an "art movie" but a pleasing farce with fantasy elements. Everyone in the cinema laughed around me. Great entertainment!

reply

I totally agree. Dubbing very rarely works. But as long as people are so xenophobic then it will continue. I thought the film itself was a highly entertaining farce.

reply

Not to burst your bubble, dmar - but any movie when dubbed is bad. I enjoyed the camp in this movie. I would say it's a fine fun film.

I saw it today in the UK and it was subtitled, thank goodness. It was a bit of fun, but not very challenging or even scary, considering it had mummies in it. It was somewhat like "The Mummy" in tone, though quite a bit more light-hearted. I rated it as a 6 because I felt there was some excitement missing. Adele herself was exquisitely beautiful and very self-sufficient. I'm finding it difficult to put into words why I didn't like it more.

So true....The movie is awful and the doubing made it even worse.

Its a movie everyone should stay away from...Waste of Time and Money to watch it.

just watched this movie and the langue was in french!!!... talk about badmouthing a movie you dont know *beep* about!. the movie was good and it sure kicked anything of the latest cgi action marathon hollywood crap...

reply

I don't know.
The debate about dubbing came from the wrong side.

Of course, the english market hate dubbing: 90% of everything is in their language.
Who cares if the "other" movies have no market as Joe Blow from Kokomo will never bother to watch a film with subtitles?

Still, I don't think that the movie is so bad.
I liked it - dubbed in Italian.

reply

movie itself was enjoyable but main character was not very likable so no future for sequel or franchise

reply

Movie is excellent. Really enjoyed it.

The production values are exquisite so I see no reason to label this a "B"...

Oh Lord, you gave them eyes but they cannot see...

Seconded!
Why problem make? When you no problem have, you don't want to make ...

Thirded. I love this movie and could watch it again and again. Not dubbed though.

That is an obvious lie. I just watched it and it was not dubbed, it was in perfectly fine and understandable french.

I watched it with subtitles and I quite liked it!
