124 minutes of fun featuring a lost Egyptian city, caricaturish characters & a popcorn orgy...

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 1999)

This movie was really, really fun. I enjoyed it a lot. All that I wanted to see in this movie I found it with great pleasure for me. A lot of F/X, an epic plot (that's my debility, epic stories), funny characters (I laughed a lot with some ridiculous but efficient roles like Jonathan, Beni & one or two "Fraserian" stupidities that we are all accustomed) & 2 goddesses right fallen from the Olympus: Patricia Velazquez (Anck-Su-Namum)& Rachel Weisz (Evi). This was the first time that I saw this two beauties on the screen, & I was very amazed & drooling (as most of the male audience) with the introducing scene of Anck-Su-Namun. I just said " Oh-m-y-G-o-d!". She was absolutely perfect. But also Ms. Weisz has to be recognized as another fallen angel. She is perfect too. Returning to the male actors, I think Arnold Vosloo deserves the most of the credits. I know he was very helped with the whole set of FX on its role, but anyways I think he acted damn well so what the hell. He really looked like an Egyptian High Priest...I don't know if some people are agree with me but some actors have historical faces. I don't know if you know what i mean, but some people, only for their look, can interpret historical or ancient characters, & I think , as i said, that Arnold Vosloo really looks like an Egyptian prince or something, as well as Patricia Velazquez looks like an Egyptian babe too. Also I REALLY liked a lot the beginning of the movie, showing how was Egypt 3000 years ago. A really awesome scene. And I think that's all, but I have a question for myself: What could happen if we put Harrison Ford instead Brendan Fraser & some Afrika Korps Nazi fellas there...Could be this another Indiana Jones' movie? "Indiana Jones & the curse of the mummy"? Who knows...
