Great movie with awesome special effects!

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 1999)

First of all, the most obvious thing that everyone's gonna talk about were the mind-blowing special effects. The mummies were so nicely done, they almost seemed real. All of the other effects, such as the scarab beetles and The Mummy's face were pretty cool. The story line? It's pretty straight-forward. Like Rick O'Connel (Brendan Fraser) said, "Rescue the damsel in destress, kill the bad guy, save the world." I don't want to reveal the plot, but really, that's how it is. I think this movie was more like a comedy mixed with action: Jonathan (John Hannah) was pretty stupid, but funny, and also, Fraser's character had some pretty good one-liners. But, as awesome as the movie is, I also recommend reading the novelization to the movie. It has some more detail to it, and some additions that were not in the movie. I recommend this movie to everyone! Go see it.
