Entertaining, but not that great

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2002)

A good action flick. A decent 20th century remake of a classic. Neato special effects. Creepy mummies. That's about all 'The Mummy' has to offer, but that's OK because it doesn't pretend to be anything more than just that.
I've seen this a number of times, largely through showings dozens of times in one night on TNT when I was bored and had nothing better to do. It gets older all the time, so I've sworn myself to no longer watching it. That way I can remember it as being entertaining.
A good movie to watch with friends on lazy nights; it would have been perfect for Mystery Science Theater 3000, but alas, 'tis no more...
