entertaining and great special effects

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 1999)

As boring as the original movie was, with Boris Karloff wrapped in bandages, stiffly pursuing the heroine, this remake is just the opposite. The story is engaging, full of action, with an Indiana Jones flavor, and the special effects are top-notch, making use of the latest in computer digital effects. This one is definitely worth seeing in the theaters.
