A thrill-ride!

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2008)

This is one of the movies that'll probably be known at some later date as a film classic for the simple fact that it combines the jovial nature of a comic-book-style action adventure with damn good acting. Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz at their best.
The story is fairly straightforward. An Old Kingdom Egyptian priest, Imhotep, was sentenced to eternal imprisonment and live mummification through a curse after having an affair with a Pharoah's mistress and murdering him. Thousands of years later, a bunch of people wake up the no-doubt very angry mummy, who unleashes his wrath upon the world. Rick O'Connell, an ex-legionary and mercenary for hire, takes it upon himself along with Evelyn to rid the world of Imhotep.
A must-see.
