Boring

Rating: 4/10 (4 December 1999)

How could a story so exquisitely mounted, with the talents of a very fine cast, and even a somewhat interesting mystery plot, be so b-o-r-i-n-g. That would be the computerized gore and "horror". It drains the emotional interest from the thing. It says "Mummy Mummy Mummy". Rats! I bought a full price ticket for this one. Maybe seeing Christina Ricci as a blonde in the impeccable taste of a Dutch master's painting was worth it. The gray makeup smudges on Johnny Depp's face were very irritating, on the other hand, but i got over it.
