The original...It Ain't

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 1999)

Now, to give an accurate review of this movie, I would have to say that I question the film-making in of itself. The plot content and the character dialogue seem a bit odd at times and perhaps out of place. Some of Brendan Fraiser's throw-away jokes, for example, are a bit out of place in a movie such as this. Well, hey! I'm sitting down expecting a new approach to the original Mummy, and instead, I'm bombarded with special effects! Fraiser's jokes! Flesh consuming scarabs! Even comments entailing...."Is this a spoof or something?" The point of all this is...this is a VERY different approach on a film, and has nothing to do with original. If you want special effects, shotguns, a few dead mummies, this is a movie for you. Otherwise, don't expect to see a classic out of this one.
