An entertaining, adventure film

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 1999)

Forget what you've seen in previous mummy movies. This version departs from all previous ones which were essentially remakes of the original Universal classic with Boris Karloff. This one has more of the look and feel of an Indiana Jones adventure, only with more mysticism and violence, and not quite in the same class (though very close).
The special effects are great, the actors and acting even better, and the mummy is not the usual bandaged, slow walking terror. He even speaks (in ancient Egyptian, of course)! He's also not the only thing to be wary of.
It's good entertainment, the kind of movie you can watch more than once as it's great fun. You'll likely enjoy it (and never want to open an Egyptian tomb if given the chance).
