Big Trouble in Little Cairo!

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 1999)

Some movie critics seem to have somehow gotten it into their heads that this was supposed to be a serious movie. It's really not, and if you expect it to be a straight remake of the original film you'll be equally confused.
Another reviewer here on IMDB mentioned "Big Trouble in Little China", and I think that comparison is right on the mark. It's hard to say yet whether this movie will become a cult-classic like "Big Trouble", but it is a very funny adventure movie with good acting, a few scary moments, and remarkable special effects. (And, of course, Rachel Weisz is pretty remarkable too.) Forget the misguided critics and just go see it. :-)
