It's more of an Indiana Jones look alike, but worth viewing

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2005)

This is more of action and adventure than of horror. This is supposed to be a remake of the original 1930s version. Well some things are the same, Imhotep is in it, and his scheme is also there, but there are many changes, I mean many! The special effects, the 10 plagues that follow when Imhotep comes back to life, different other characters, a comic relief, more action, and a body count. It lacks what the original one was, it was too in your face, and tongue in cheek. But Despite all those, the changes made it better and attracted quite an audience I must say. And I like the brother Jonathan who is a greedy man and a coward, and the other guy who is like him, Beni, who is also greedy and a coward, it made me want to watch this even more. Oh yeah, and it is also set in the 1930s, that's a good thing. Recommended to those who want to see adventure action, fast paced movies.
