oh dear oh dear oh dear...

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 1999)

I have to say, this is the silliest movie I have seen since Halloween H20. But unlike that disaster, The Mummy didn't take itself too seriously, and I couldn't help but love the Indiana Jones-esque feel.
The SFX were... interesting... okay, they were silly too, but occasionally impressive, as long as I didn't try to think about them too much. The jokes were corny, but they still made me laugh - I think it's the acting which made them work most of the time.
All in all, it was a very predictable movie (lots of occasions when the soundtrack was silent - cue angry ancient Egyptians making a lot of noise), very cheesy, but very, very entertaining. I wouldn't see it at the movies again, and I probably wouldn't bother renting it either, but in two or so years when it comes on cable, I'll definitely watch it again.
Three out of five.
