Enough special effects, humor, and action to make it worth seeing.

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 1999)

The special effects for the Mummy, himself were fantastic. No hanging bandages on this villain just rotting flesh. The backdrop locations were spectacular and really added to the scope of the film.
The actors did an above average job with Brendan Fraser as the perfect balance of invincible hero and vulnerable human. Rachel Weisz was excellent with enough intelligence and character to make her would-be clique role as the female lead and damsel in distress believable and likeable.
The plot does tend to drag on and in the final scene one does get the hint that the special effects department was dying to throw in one more cool effect, but on the whole this film is more then worth-seeing.
