the sequel is Much Better.

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2002)

On the audio commentary by Stephen summers, he remarks that they're halfway into the movie and they have yet to re-introduce the title character, and he isn't even revived for another 20 minutes. A good chunk of this movie deals with them digging around an ancient city and discovering things. therefore, this movie gets a little boring, and actually, having seen the Mummy Returns FIRST, I was dissapointed on how Evelyn's character was portrayed in this Movie. In the Mummy Returns, she's a strong, sword-wielding Kick-ass who's able to take care of herself. in the Mummy, she's portrayed as a clumsy cliched damsel in distress. And with the Mummy Returns, the ending had me cheering in my seat, The Mummy left me saying "oh WOW." (heavy sarcasm here) There's even one line in this movie that sums it all up: "rescue the Damsel in distress, Kill the Bad Guy, Save the world."
