A Pleasant Surprise!

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 1999)

The Mummy was a terrific movie-going experience, purely popcorn fare, but always my favorite flavor. The film features great performances from Fraser, Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo as the indomitable Imhotep. The real reason to see The Mummy are its eye-popping special effects, including a sentient sandstorm and a herd of flesh-eating scarab beetles. Very action-packed, fast-paced, and satisfying -- three things a movie should be.
Highly recommended.
