Rating: 1/10 (10 May 1999)

This movie was awful. Although it started out fairly strong I could still tell that it had gone through several rewrites. Meaning the dialogue was stupid. Not only that it didn't make sense. I don't mean to be to obvious, but it reminded me of another production about Egypt that depended solely on special effects and had no real story to speak off, Stargate.
The Mummy tried very hard to be Indiana Jones, and unfortunately Brendan Frasier is not as strong an actor as Harrison Ford. The female lead was very strongly played both for intelligence, vulnerability, and tremendous sex appeal. However her talents were largely wasted here. All in all this turkey was for the most part unwatchable, and save for the incredible special affects the money spent on this movie could have fed starving people in Brazil. Trust me, the world could have done without The Mummy. A tip for the failing Universal Corporation: Stop making bad movies.
