That's my guess, anyway. I disliked the comic so much that I thought I'd hate the movie, but I have to admit, I love Timur Bekmambetov's visual style and out-and-out lunacy so much, and have been as-yet unable to share it with Girl One, so this watered down version of it worked perfectly for me. I barely even noticed Jolie or Mr Tumnus at all. As it goes, these were all films that were foisted on me by chance, laziness or, in the case of "Mamma Mia", Girl One. The plus side to all of them was that I had very low expectations. Based on that, it's funny to note that "Madagascar", despite maybe being the most consistently appealing of the bunch, was probably also the most disappointed. Haven't seen the third Mummy film. It always makes me sad when Jet Lee is in bad films, though. “Wanted”, right? That’s my guess, anyway.

Can't say that any of the others take my fancy... but Journey To The Centre Of The Earth can't be any worse than the third Mummy flick which I was subjected to on New Year's Day!
