Heart-pounding adventure.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2002)

The first time seeing this film, it will totally amaze you. If you are a fan of action-adventures or horror movies, then you will like this film. Brendan Fraser stars in his first action-hero role as one of many people who unearth a three thousand year old mummy and accidentally return him to life.
Some of the scenes are slightly cliched from other action films, and you may notice some similarities in director Stephen Sommers ways (he is the guy responsible for DEEP RISING). This film is indeed one of the founders of the recent films in the action-adventure genre. This is one that will certainly be remembered.
I recommend Sommers' other work, DEEP RISING, and if you are interested in action films, then maybe something like VERTICAL LIMIT or THE TIME MACHINE.

THE MUMMY gets 4/5.
