They got what they wanted.

Rating: 1/10 (3 November 1999)

The creators of this "remake" of the Karloff vehicle stated that they wanted a "mummy for the 90's". Well, that's exactly what they got. A flashy film where the title character is an ACTION FIGURE. Ready made for the toy market. I must be old fashioned, but I much prefer the dark mystery of the older films. The only good thing about this rash of remakes (IMHO...Imho-Tep!) is that they focus attention on the originals. If the "new" Mummy hadn't been made we might not have the"old" Mummy on DVD. Same goes for The Avengers movie. Thanks to that fiasco I now have a complete collection of the released Diana Rigg episodes on the little discs. So maybe I shouldn't complain!
