A fun time

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 1999)

I had a fun time at THE MUMMY. Great production design and effects--the opening shot of ancient Thebes is almost worth the price of the ticket. Laughs in the right places, inventive and original visuals. (Notice I haven't mentioned the plot.)
I feel I got my money's worth. If you think the Karloff original is holy writ, stay away -- this is much more influenced by Lucas-Speilberg than Freund. But the audience where I saw it applauded at the end.
