Better than the original, but special effects can't make up for poor acting.

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 1999)

The Mummy was great special-effects-wise, but the kudos almost end there. Adding a little story to the original 1932 classic, it still was a joke in some parts. Brandon Frasier and the rest of the actors cough up some particlarly pathetic one-liners, and there is a bit of slapstick also. The beginning is cool, but that's where the seriousness and style end. The ending is typical.
I gave it a 7. Not bad if you're curious, but more believable characters and better dialogue would have been a plus.
