The best in the series.

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2010)

The original Mummy film is the best in the series. And I liked every film in the series. For years people said that these films were rip offs of Indiana Jones. Well, in adventure level, yes, a lot like Indiana Jones. But no rip off. The Mummy films aren't as good, but they are fun.
Brendan Fraser stars as Rick O'Connell, an American serving in the French Foreign legion. While in an ancient city, Rick accidentally awakes a mummy named Imotep(played by Arnold Vosloo. He also meets a librarian(played by Rachael Weiz) and her brother(played by John Hannah.
The original film is the most original. It's also the least stupid and most fun. The sequel, The Mummy returns copied off of this one quite a bit. The 3rd one, Tomb of the Dragon emperor, wasn't a rip off but was dumb fun.
I have enjoyed the whole trilogy. The original is the best. Second would probably be the second one now that I think about it. Then the third one would come in last place. A lot of people hate these movies. I don't see it. It is certainly not art, but it is a lot of fun and like the others, it is never boring.
The Mummy: B+
