Help I want My Mummy!

Rating: 4/10 (12 November 2000)

Horrible, Ghastly and Boring. Visually no expense is spared, and I would have a liked a lot more of ancient Egypt. All the modern characters are cliches, the modern Egyptians are portrayed as buffoons (what did they make of this in Egypt?). I rented this for my son, I wasn't expecting much, but got even less. Some of the CGI was excellent, but historical accuracy was atrocious.Was it acceptable on the big screen? I always imagine this type of film is story boarded by a computer, that has analysed a hundred box-office successes; You can't quite pin down what's wrong with the film, but it just has no life, you never feel involved.
