** stars, nice visual movie but not much more than that.

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2000)

THe Mummy is a movie that could have been so much more than those great effects. If the script had been better then I would have been really amazed. By the end I was bored, the story was going nowhere. Brandon Fraiser is well cast and he is the one that kept me watching. He looked like he was having fun which this movie should had me feel but I thought it was dull. A movie like this needs more than action and those effects. You can almost compare it to the Indiana Jones movies but they have a good script and a better hero. Next time maybe the writers of those movies should help out and work on a movie like The Mummy.
PLOT: A journey into the desert for a mystical book brings danger and an enemy. Watch out for the Mummy!
VIEWS: Better script was needed.
SCENES TO WATCH FOR: Those nice shiny bugs! Brandon Fraiser's wisecracks.
