Great Mummy Film!

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2009)

The Mummy is probably the best mummy film there is other than it's sequel. Everything is great and enjoyable. Brendan Fraser actually did a good job which I doubted he would, the effects are great, the acting is great, the music is wonderful, even the plot is good. If you are expecting a horror film, you will be disappointed because this movie is similar to Indiana Jones with the the action and adventure The main character is Rick O'Connell. He is saved from certain death by a librarian named Evy and her brother, Jonathan. They head to Hamunaptra to find a certain book called "The Book of the Dead." They also find the mummy of high priest of ancient Eygptian times, Imhotep. Evy accidentally reads from the book and the mummy is now alive. It's up to Rick and Evy to stop destruction from the Mummy. They also have to battle sacred protectors, Americans, and skin-crawling bugs.
The acting is very good. Brendan Fraser exceeded my expectations as the wise-cracking Rick O'Connell. I am pleasantly surprised by Rachel Weisz. John Hannah cracked me up. Arnold Vosloo is perfect as Imhotep.
The music is very good. It's composed by one of the best composers ever, the late Jerry Goldsmith.
This movie kept me interested in what's going to happen next. It is a blend of many genres such as adventure, action, comedy, and fantasy. I had a good time watching this film. I rate this film 9/10.
