Have you seen...The Mummy?????

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2004)

I was surprised, amazed, astounded. This movie was a huge disappointment!
It starts off well enough, with smashing introductions by most of the main characters. There is a sense of get ready to take off for one wild ride, but the movie drowns in its own over-the-top intentions. Before it's over, it's like watching "The Mummy" - idiotic, paper-thin plot; constant, jangling action scenes with no core; terrible chemistry between Bloom (he makes Keanu Reeves look like William Gillette) and Knightley; and those silly skeleton special effects! And the dang thing goes on for absolute ever!
Depp has been much better in much better things, but Geoffrey Rush and he are the ONLY things above water here. This film joins "Pirates", "The Pirate", and "Hook" in the crappy pirate film list. It's only worth about 3 out of 10.
