French Jumanji
No spoilers (it’s literally the first scene), but yeah, French Jumanji, except medieval.
Not a bad movie. Photography is quite good, actually. Period sets are excellent. Visual effects are pedestrian at best.
Peeve of mine: the arms and armours are off, historically and financially. The lute is somewhat accurate.
Reno is decades away from Leon and the Big blue. Still good, though, as the senile old fart.
Dubosc has a domestic career as a comedian, but turns out competent in a slightly more nuanced role. The two male leads have good chemistry.
The female lead is average at best, but it could be because of a badly written role. Despite being a barrister, her character shows a total lack of both subtlety and impulse control, to the point one would suspect the director of making a point against trusting women with, well, anything.
IMDB shows the actress to be an obvious activist. Meh, she’s probably just bad.
Having switched between US and domestic trailers: the comedic timing and general snarkiness are fairly off in the dub. Then again, French has a permanent +2 snarkiness bonus. And the dub seems somewhat lazy.
Substract 1 point if you don’t intend to watch a subbed version.
Woke elements: emasculated, moronic male lead, hyper-competent females, gender ambiguity (male, obviously), multi-racial recomposed family. To be fair, it’s not as heavy-handed as American productions, but definitely there. Except the feminism. Light-handed feminism is an oxymoron; here, it's normal, ie: ham-fisted
It’s often and distracting, and, as my fellow young people put it, cringe. Dock one point for excessive girlbossing.
2/5.
Could have been average. The arrow scene is funny.
