"The Mummy" delivers

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2004)

I found this movie to be quite entertaining and suspenseful. The special effects were, without a doubt, excellent, as was the story and the acting. I highly recommend this film whether or not you're a Brendan Fraser fan as this is a definite change of direction for his career. I, quite frankly, did not consider him an action/adventure actor until I saw "The Mummy". He's a far more versatile actor than I had previously thought. Rachel Weisz was very good (this was the first film of hers I had seen), and Patricia Velasquez did surprisingly well for being a prior supermodel. All in all a great film, one that should be added to any movie collection.
