About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want big, fast, Egypt-flavored action-adventure with a playful vibe like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny or The Scorpion King; Not for you if you dislike heavy CGI, repetitive sequel plots, or spectacle-over-substance.

Pros: fun adventure tone; cast chemistry; epic action setpieces | Cons: CGI can look cheesy; sequel feels repetitive; too much spectacle
