Well, thank goodness for Eye Candy!

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 1999)

Many reviews of this movie claim that it was a poor remake, or missing plot bits, or full of bad storytelling. I will concede those points. There were plot holes. Having never seen previous mummy-movies, I really can't make an accurate or informed opinion on whether this movie was a poorly done remake. But gosh darn it, I can say it was PRETTY! Pretty? you ask. Yes. In the vein of The Fifth Element. That is to say, plot really wasn't important to the writers/creators, but it didn't matter because it was so much fun.

And more importantly, The Mummy had something that The Fifth Element didn't. More to the point, several somethings. Brendan Fraser, The-guy-who-loses-his-eyes, The-guy-in-the-dress, Imhotep--when he has skin. Yes, you guessed it. Good looking guys. And for those people more interested in the other sex, a good many people have declared that the Cursed-Princess (pre-death) and The Librarian were both exceedingly fun to watch.
Do those people make the movie good? No. Do the special effects? Hardly. But do they make the movie fun? YES!! Settle yourself and some friends down in front of the tv, load up on caffeine and buttered popcorn and *enjoy*!
