A well told epic tale with horror, action, comedy and romance!

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 1999)

For those of us who enjoy a good adventure movie and a good laugh, but burrow down into our seats when a movie gets too 'gory', The Mummy was a pleasant surprise! I was dragged along and expected to only see half the movie, but was quickly engrossed in this wonderfully epic tale and amazed at the special effects so much, that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
The story tells a timeless tale woven around a beautiful country with a wonderfully rich history. Something to remember is that it is based around the mythology and beliefs of an ancient society, and you can't get better storylines than that.
Of course the actors played their part, by portraying action, adventure, horror, comedy and romance beautifully. John Hannah was great (as always), Brendan Fraser showed he can do action and adventure as well as the next man, Rachel Weisz was also very good as the beautiful heroine.

BUT Arnold Vosloo and Oded Fehr, not taking anything away from other cast members these guys were fantastic. I have to agree with 'catmom2' I definitely would like to see more of both these actors. Arnold Vosloo, where have you been? His portrayal of the Mummy was magnificent, who in all his evilness still looked vulnerable, I have to admit to feeling sorry for The Mummy. Oded Fehr, well I'm sorry for falling into the superficiality trap, but his dark and brooding good looks were definitely put to good use.
This is a movie that I would recommend to my friends, who enjoy a good story with enough action to keep you interested but not too much blood and guts, some great one-liners and comedy scenes that have you chuckling and of course the fluffy little romance story for those of us who think there's too little of it in the world today.
