A good event movie, but not great

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 1999)

This movie certainly had all the makings of a summer blockbuster. It had awesome special effects, great action, and beautiful cinematography, especially the beginning sequence. It sort of reminded me of the english patient and Indiana Jones, more of the latter of course.
The plot was alright, but there were some obvious fallacies. For example, near the beginning, we see Brandon Fraser using a colt pistol, when they didn't come into use until WWII. There are other fallacies that I won't mention, to avoid spoiling the movie for you.
I also found the Mummy at first to look repulsively disgusting. However, I liked the fact, that as the mummy consumed its victims, it evolved into its human form.
Overall, it was a decent movie, a good movie to see and even take your girl/boyfriend too.
