What a wild ride. The funnest Mummy of them all!

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2007)

To start off with, this movie is not strictly speaking a horror movie. That is not to say it does not have horror elements to it, but they are, in a way, secondary to the main focus of the film. This is an action-adventure, comedy, love story. Brendan Frasier shines as the American ex-foreign legion soldier who knows the way to Hamanauptra, an ancient city, fabled to hold the treasure of the Pharaoh Seti I (father of Ramses the Great) Rachel Weisz is Evelyn Carnahan, a librarian turned archaeologist who has found an object that will open the book of Ra, an ancient text with occult powers. The rest of the cast are all excellent also, as the humor, the horror, and the adventure become a roller-coaster ride of adventure. It is "Indian Jones meets King Tut" in a way. I give it a rousing 10.
