A fun adventure film with appropriate touches of romance and suspense.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 1999)

I enjoyed The Mummy very much. The FX were well done and realistic. Not that I've ever seen a 3,000 year-old mummy come to life, but I was convinced that is as it would probably look. This is the type of movie that I'd love to see be made a franchise, ala Indiana Jones. It packs enough adventure for 6 hours into it's approximately 2 hours running time. The sets were very appropo and the casting was right on target. Brendan Fraser was quite impressive as the protaganist and Rachel Weisz reminded me of Katherine Hepburn; a very strong willed woman who doesn't have a problem with being beautiful at the same time. I reccomend this movie to anyone, including parents who want a film to babysit thier children for a few hours.
