Mummified crap

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 1999)

It disappoints me how stupid american audiences can be. If a movie like THE MUMMY can reach 100 million, it means that cinema has rechead its lower level. The film is divided in two parts. The first is a boring and uninteresting character development (with failed intentions at comedy and drama). The second is pure and simple cinematic grave-robbering, only not directed by GUS VAN SANT. No new ideas, no new experiences, good visual effects wasted in pathetic storyline and tedious characters. If it's a horror movie, it is not frightenning. If it's a adventure movie, it's not exciting. If it's a comedy, it's not funny. If it's dramatic, well, it is pathetic. All the good scenes were in the trailer. Don't see it, it's a waste of time. Unless if you're dumb or controled by the media. Like all sucessful american movies, THE MUMMY is plain old dumb and totally unoriginal. 0.5 out of 5
