Not bad

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2001)

The Mummy was a good action movie that left you wanting more...and less. Yes, it was a fun movie. Yes, the action was good. Yes, the special effects were cool. But, it borrowed too heavily from other movies and you've seen the same plot before. There is absolutely nothing original about this movie. It borrows, okay, steals from Indiana Jones, Stargate, Jason and the Argonauts, etc. Yes, the plot is completely predicable. You know who is going to live and die at the end of the movie after 30 minutes. But! It is a hell of a ride and is very enjoyable for what it is. If you just want to sit back and be entertained for a while you will totally enjoy this movie. I recommend it but don't expect anything new.
