Raiders of the Lost City of the Dead

Rating: 1/10 (14 May 1999)

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. Production values are first rate, and the computer generated images are extremely well done. The characters are fun to watch and Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep made a great villain. However, the scriptwriting was lazy at best, and incompetent at worst. If Imhotep was really that powerful and evil, why make it so easy for him to come back? It's like catching a serial killer, putting him in jail, and then leaving the keys to his cell within arm's reach. Some "mumbo jumbo" during the set up was needed to explain why they simply couldn't kill Imhotep and turn him into sausage. Go see the movie, just leave your brain at home.
