Never seen the original but this really rocks

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 1999)

I didn't see the original movie that was made early in the century but I can tell you something about this movie, it really rocks.
You take the theme of Egypt in the mid 30s, you put a mummy into it, a consistent hero, a stupid side kick, some competition for gold, an ancient curse, lots of humor, action, horror and drama and you got "The Mummy".
I don't know about you but I gave it a 9, that's right up there next to Armageddon and Star Wars, go see it, you won't regret a second out of the near 2 hour experience.
