Great FX, weak acting, good if you like Egyptology

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 1999)

The Mummy is a decent action movie with great special fx. While the plot is a bore, the visual tapestry unfolding before you will be worth your while. It wasn't as good as Congo (which is by no means a great movie) but was better than the Matrix. My big problem with the film is Hollywood's penchant for demeaning people of Arab and Middle Eastern descent. It seems like they are the only group of people (besides the Nazis) that it is safe to ridicule.
