Leave your brain at the door

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2001)

While it's not going to be a film remembered in 100 years, this is still a enjoyable, if somewhat silly film that reminds me vaguely of Indiana Jones.
Brenden Fraser fills this 'Indiana' role perfectly, as Rick O'Connell, dashing, handsome, wisecracking, hero type who goes out to save the day. Joining him for the ride are Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), the pretty, smart damsel in distress; and Johnathan (John Hannah), the drunken, gambling, yet caring older brother/comic relief. And then there's Imhotep (Arnold Voosloo), the evil mummy, who's the villian of the piece.
The whole cast comes together well, and the plot, while laughable stays strong through the film.
Now that there's an imminent sequel coming, you should pretty much expect the same as the first.
