One of the worst, if not the worst movies I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2013)

I guess I'll keep it brief. For one, I barely even remember it at this point, as I've blocked out much of this traumatic experience. I saw this in the theater at the time of it's release.
The style of dialogue was so horrendous, which I detected 5 minutes into the movie. Similar to a cartoon or a comic book. Very slapstick and not funny at all (it's probably fair to say that it's unanimously not funny). It's the worst of all worlds. It doesn't take the serious route, moderately serious route, or even a route that's capable of producing at least 1 chuckle, rather a route of a complete garbage. Why would you even take a slap stick cartoon route with such a gargantuan movie budget? Well, I guess they got the last laugh, because this movie somehow made a fortune. Obviously, that's all they were going for, which is understandable and fine, but I would imagine most directors would want to make something they were proud of as well... not Stephen Sommers and his ridiculously bad filmography proves it. A complete Schlock director.
This movie may as well have taken the special effects and flushed it down the toilet. It's the equivalent of writing am energetic comedy act and giving it to Ben Stein to perform. Of course that would have some potential to have reverse laughter. Unlike other movies that rank as the worst of all time (The Room, Troll 2, The Wicker Man etc), which are funny and worth watching because they are so bad, The Mummy is a 100% painful viewing experience. So, the Mummy is honestly the worst movie I have ever seen and I've consistently held that position ever since watching this piece of garbage.
Perhaps this is a good movie for kids 10 and younger, but it's probably an insult to even their intelligence.
It's difficult to harp on actors for being crappy under such bad direction and horrendous dialogue, but with that aside they are ridiculously bad. I'm a fan of John Hannah by the way and he doesn't stand out as being good or bad from what I remember... but the bad guy, the chick, Brendan Fraser and everyone else, words can't describe it. I particularly remember how stupid their facial expressions were.
Here is my only spoiler and it wins the award for dumbest scene in the movie, from what little I remember of it. Basically, the bad guy conjures up a tornado and is chasing Fraser (and perhaps others) through the desert with it. As the tornado's about to take him out, the chick standing next to the bad guy (with a really lame facial expression, which she notoriously does throughout the movie) kisses him on the check. This distraction causes the tornado to dissolve and causes the bad guy to get an extremely lame facial expression as well (I can't even describe the facial expressions, because I've never seen anything like it before in my life). So essentially, this quick witted act saved Fraser from certain death. Anywho, it's stupid crap like this that causes this movie to kill brain cells. If you're going to kill brain cells I recommend smoking crack instead of watching this piece of crap, at least you'll get some pleasure in return.
