Mummify the whole concept!

Rating: 1/10 (30 August 1999)

Admittedly, I did not expect much from this movie.
However, it went past my lowered expectations, right down into a snake pit of bad acting, some fairly overt Anti-Semitism and some odd post-Baryshnikov mummified choreography.
Implausible entomological phenomena and unlikely Egyptian cultural element additions (recent discoveries leaked to Hollyweird writers by secretive egyptologists?) complete the mix for this stinker of a movie.
One genuinely funny gag in the whole show, but it does not warrant seeing the rest of it.
The original 1930's version is better if only for the fact that they did not waste as much money filming it.
Watching the 30's version and comparing it with the 1999, one can definitely see that digital effect overload (aren't we all getting tired of particle effects?) does not the movie make..
May Anubis kick the stuffing out of the pants of whoever thought up this mummified length of celluloid.
