THE DEFINITION OF THE SUMMER POPCORN MOVIE

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2020)

I remember seeing this in the cinema way back in the Awesome 90s & it blew my mind & i still think it's excellent & holds up fantasticly with it's excellent fx & Awesome cast.
1999's The Mummy is the best film in the franchise as the others just became boring & lost the perfect tone of Action-fantasy Horror & comedy.
The sequels are just not very good at all but this first film is a fantastic adventure with the once leading man Brendan Fraser at his absolute best as our funny but tough lead hero "Rick O'Connell" who is such a great old fashioned character & hero!!!
Brendan Fraser is so COOL here with his many guns & funny wisecracks & handsome charm he's such an all American movie hero, think a little Indiana Jones & Han Solo & any explorer hero from 50's B-movie flicks!!!
"The Mummy" is full of adventure & the special fx look Amazing, the mummy itself is fantastic & scary but done fun at the same time, i love this film.
Also at times this is like a Horror movie with Zombies, Mummies, Killer bugs & demonic followers & the "Book of the Dead" i mean this could be a prequel to the fantastic "Evil Dead" Trilogy!!!
A great little cast with the BEAUTIFUL Rachel Weisz & the posh bumbling John Hannah & the cool but intimidating Arnold Vosloo as the main Mummy monster "Imhotep" it's a good cast.
I love the Egyptian locations & all the creepy dark underground tunnels & corridors under the pyramids, there's such a fun sense of Adventure & wonder here & there's lots of great scenes or moments, there's some Awesome creepy bits too that lead into the Horror Genre at times & the production design is Amazing as is the music!!!
Another great film from the 90's & still the absolute best Mummy film of them all.
There's loads to enjoy in this Adventure of great entertainment that mixes Adventure,Horror,Fantasy & Comedy together perfectly.
One of the most enjoyable Adventure films of all time!!!
This is what movies were made for, to take you on an exciting fantasy adventure & give you escapism from the depressing real world.
