7 Guardians of the Tomb
2018
Action - Adventure
A joint Chinese and Australian production, this is a Z-movie take on The Mummy & Indiana Jones - type of adventure movie, directed by the same person who did Bait, which I thought wasn't too bad, but the end result here is one that is utterly bland, not very exciting or entertaining, there is just nothing about it that captured my attention. The only recognisable face is Kelsey Grammar aka Frasier Crane, and he is another of those TV actors who found huge fame on the small screen, but movie-wise, he hasn't had much success as he turns to B & Z-movies. & here, that lacklustre run of his long continues. Rickety effects, some poor dialogue, honestly there are some notable Australian films that are far better than this (Strictly Ballroom, Muriel's Wedding, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert). It's one of those films where it looked like a huge amount of money was blown on everything - and still, it feels utterly maudlin & excruciatingly dreary with not one performance or standout moment. It's so easily forgettable and there is little to no value given to it. Oh, and the movie's title font looks like the designers ripped off the Guardians of the Galaxy logo too.
Is it worth watching?
No
