Exciting, but not special

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 1999)

The Mummy is a big box-office hit and it will be too in Holland, but is it a good movie? Say about the first 45 minutes are so bad, that they qualify to be ranked in the worst movies ever list. But when Brendan Fraser and crew unleash the mummy, action begins and you'll get a sort of an Indy Jones feeling. Then the movie turns to a action-pic with horror-effects. And then the movie really begins to be exciting. The end with a lot of mummies is actually really funny and good. So it is an exciting last hour but the movie is certainly not special and so isn't Brendan Fraser or the rest of the crew; the only one with a really good part is the South-African that plays the Mummy. He is really good. But I give The Mummy not more and none less than a 6. For comments: r_jvw@hotmail.com. Thank you.
