Reviews for Mission 4

[theoclarke · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Our young escapologist turned secret agent jumps the shark in this episode set on an archaeological excavation in Egypt where paintings in an ancient pharonic tomb are animated by magic incantations from animated mummies activated by Max as he searches for a papyrus bearing a catastrophic spell. Previous missions have all included significant doses of silliness but this one goes too far for me.
