Enjoyable in a campy way

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2018)

The Mummy is an enjoyable movie that somehow has the nostalgic atmosphere of the movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The supporting actors are charming and funny (especially Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser). This movie is not perfect; it has several plot holes, isn't very historically or artistically accurate, and the "horror" scenes are more laughable than scary. However, it's not supposed to be taken very seriously anyways, more to be watched for some Indiana Jones-like pretenseless fun, preferably with some friends while drinking from a mug of hot chocolate. Really the only big thing I have to say against it is that the marketing made the film look more serious or horror-like than it really was.
