A "5" for special effects and nice silliness.

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2001)

Just saw this film on video. I would have given it less than a "5", but I thought that the special effects and, even more, the good natured silliness of the whole thing merited a couple of more points. There was an Egypt that certainly could never have existed. (I mean, pyramids in Thebes? Really!) Also, there's this wacky curse that provides the opportunity for a mortal enemy to rise from the dead and have supreme power!? But before I sound like the people who actually get mad because the woman in Titanic let the diamond fall into the sea (hey, everybody, it's not real; it's just a story!), let me say that I enjoyed The Mummy's hi jinx and Brendan Fraser a lot.
