Possibly the most enjoyable 'Mummy' film to date.

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2018)

Somehow, 'The Mummy (1999)' is pretty much the most enjoyable film to bear its name, one that takes the classic universal monster and makes him into the foe for an 'Indiana Jones'-style, 'archaeologist action-hero' adventure. It's precisely because it doesn't take it self so dreadfully seriously that it works so well, always being a fun time even when it's at its spookiest. Having said that, it also has a respect for the lore and knows that it's supposed to be a horror, too, which makes for some memorably grotesque yet still entertainingly light sequences. 7/10
