I'm insulted by this pathetic piece of poo

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 1999)

I wish I was bribed to this movie, because it wasn't worth admission. Every film cliche doesn't describe The Mummy. To even try and explain it's sad existence is tiring. Let me begin with the previews: they show the best parts! Yes the effects are nice, for the few minutes they really spend showing them. The rest of the film is filled with Brendan Fraser and a chick and Arabs making one-liners and mumbling non-sense. I felt like I had seen Stargate, Godzilla, Independance Day, Diehard 3, and the Matrix, all pulled into one un-inspired motion picture that didn't even try to use originality. I wish the screenwriter had at least read some of the dialogue they used from a P.C. script writing software because it's boring. I think audiences would have enjoyed cutting out the romance scenes and all the rest of the filler and just showed an hour and a half of the mummy killing people, I mean that's why they make these types of generic recycled films after all. I would like to ask the reviewers who enjoy this film why they enjoyed this film, because you've seen this film dozens of times. Be it a lizard, an alien, a stereotypical foreign assasin, or a mummy, it's the same thing, over and over and every summer. I'd like to spoil the ending but I was too interested in picking my toe lint by that time to care.
