The hidden city of Hamunaptra sets the scene to unleash the curses of Egypt and re-awaken The Mummy.

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2004)

An action packed film, that echoes the greatness of Indiana Jones. Sadly it is however not quite as good. It is packed with references to the doomed curses of Egypt and the ancient scripts, very well thought out and very entertaining. Brenden Fraiser plays the part of the hero brilliantly and looks the part with his unshaven predatorial look! Rachel Weisz also has the damsel in distress role down to an art. The film tells the tales of the hidden city of Hamunaptra, where rumour has it that the ancient scripts can be read out to unleash the power of the Mummy - a man murdered for having an affair with the emporers wife, but he escaped first and cast a curse which would enable him and his love to awaken from the dead in the bodies of mortals in years to come. It just so happened that it took 3,000 years before they were re-awakened, so hes pretty bitter!!
