Not a horror, but a very entertaining popcorn film

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2017)

I went and saw this movie in theaters one Sunday and while I did not have any expectations, it entertained me. I wasn't looking for horror (that's not my favorite genre) but it kept me glued to my seat. It's got Egypt, it's got action, it's got adventure, some funnies, and lots of Indiana Jones-styled thrills. And while Brendan Fraser may not have been my first choice for the main role, I think he succeeded. Still, many of my friends and acquaintances couldn't stand this film because of him, but this is one of my favorite underrated films. This and its sequel. But watch The Mummy and The Mummy Returns and skip the third one and the recent one with Tom Cruise. This is where it's at!
