Spiffy special effects do not a movie, make.

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 1999)

Was I SCARED! Woooo...This turkey is straight out of the Allan Quatermain and the Lost Whatever (yes, I'm cute and my husband is also the producer) school of filmmaking. Which is to say, don't look TOO close. or you may see a few gaping holes. No, I'm not referring to the Mummy's dental work.
The opening scenes: yes, but not nearly scary enough.
ILM: yes-the real star.
Brendan Frasier: yes-he is definitely hero material.
Rachael Weisz: yes-she doesn't even need to speak; she just has to stand there...
Michael J. O'Connor: yes, even though he doesn't look the least bit Egyptian (Mike: get a physical ASAP!).
Arnold Vosloo (the mummy): great macho stud of an Egyptian, but were you scary? Um...no (sorry). Loved the bits with the sand, though...
Scarabs: yes! this movie has some badass bugs, even if they're a little implausible.
The Story: ahh...story? Oh! you mean the plot! Uh...well, with all those special effects...heh,heh...YOU know...
Definitely a matinee movie. If it's raining.
