The Mummy is a return to the style of the b-movies.

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 1999)

The Mummy is a wonderful camp-thrill ride that will entertain the viewer. Trying to treat this film seriously is not possible with the humor that is spiced throughout the film and with the campy computer graphic effects that are done on some of the lesser skeletons and mummies running around. For once, the computer graphics are not overblown to ruin the movie's purpose. If The Mummy can be seen as a return to the style of the cheap B-movies, with the dimensionality of the characters and the simple plot, the cg effects are used tactfully to give The Mummy a B-movie feel.
