Visually impressive, but flawed

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 1999)

Overall, this movie was a disappointment. While it was visually impressive, it was severely flawed in terms of the main characters. They were just dull and one dimensional. And why is everyone cracking jokes when they are supposed to be witnessing something truly horrific? If a mummy was chasing you, would you have time to stop and tell jokes? Hell no, you'd be running for your life! It's this carefree attitude that the movie has that brings it down. It ends up looking like another slick Hollywood "product". My rating: 6 (out of 10)
