Good matinee flick with excellent fx and nice thrills

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 1999)

This latest incarnation of the old mummy story may surprise you, since it doesn't have some old guy swaddled in bandages, creeping along at a snail's pace. This is a Mummy for the nineties, who can turn into a sandstorm and sucks the organs right out of his victims. All in all, this is a fun, entertaining movie. Brendan Fraser brings the right amount of charm and comedy to his role. Although not as good as the Indiana Jones pictures, it has their spirit>
