Neither funny nor scary...not good at all!

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 1999)

A film about THE Mummy should either be a Boris Karloff white knuckle, terror movie or an Abbott & Costello - type comedy. This film failed miserably at being either either. (Only the Indiana Jones type movies can successfully combine excitement, adventure and humour - simply because they were the first genre to be successful at it).
The acting in The Mummy was ATROCIOUS. John Hannah, what were you thinking of, man? I gave the film 3/10 purely because of the effects, which were excellent and which soaked up 95% of the budget I would imagine! However, this film is proof positive that computers alone cannot create a good movie.
Give it a miss, or if you must wait until it's on Cable!
