Very disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 1999)

I normally don't write these reviews but I was noticing a lot of fairly flattering ones for The Mummy on this site and I thought I should let a few of you know the truth about this movie. It was really very bad. Yes, the acting was lousy, but I could look past that if the film had some other redeeming quality. Sadly, it did not. You should not be able to look at all of the characters in scene one and be able to accurately predict who is going to die and when it will happen. I could. The movie is unbelievably predictable. The jokes are just painful after about twenty minutes. They're very rarely funny and far too frequent. You really might want to miss this one (although the special effects are excellent).
