	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"The movie is a gorgeous spectacle, and a good deal less saccharine than anything Hollywood is turning out, but hyperactively plotted and oddly cold. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"A romp magnifique, with enough thrills, giggles and pretty pictures to reward adventure-lovers who wouldn’t normally entertain the idea of taking in a treat with subtitles. Don’t miss the mid-credits postscript. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"It is a pleasure to look at, but the performances are heavy-handed rather than pleasantly stylised and the whimsy over-abundant."	NEU
United Kingdom	Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard	"It's all very exhuberant and well mounted but Indiana Jones it is not."	NEU
