Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 1999)

This is an entertaining adventure movie with some horror elements shoved in there--but think how good it could have been, how much better it could have been if done as a serious horror movie. Get rid of Brendan Fraser shouting at the mummy and don't emphasize the CGI effects, and it could have been much better. From what I've heard, Clive Barker was originally asked to take part in this film, the screenwriting to be specific. That would have been great. But I can imagine it wouldn't have made as much money, and we all know that's what matters to the corporations. 7.5 out of 10
