Don't waste your time, unless you're into comedies.

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 1999)

Should be called "Curse of the Special Effects Nerds." Was this a thriller? With all the laughing I did I began to realize it was a comedy. One word, horrible. The effects are obvious; everything LOOKS like an effect. They couldn't even pull off the mummy as "scary." It was laughable. Cartoonish and filled with stupid one-liners from the worlds most boring "action-hero": Brendan Frazier. They couldn't even make the bugs look real. They even had "quicksand." Anyone with half a brain knows that real quicksand is not really "quick" and people don't become submerged in it, but this was more like Gilligan's Island, not just the quicksand but the whole movie. And the guy who played the mummy, please! That guy was about as scary as the three frogs on the budweiser commercial. If you want to see a movie with good effects, that ARE pulled off well, go see Star Wars, and let The Mummy remain undisturbed.
