The movie sustained my attention with the light humor and vigorous performance by the lead actor and actress.

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2000)

The choice of cast was excellent as the beautiful heroine was a cross between the damsel in distress and the strong Cleopatra. She had a sense of mystery and danger even in her portrayal of a librarian. Brendan Fraser was as handsome as ever and provided the element of farce to the genre of horror and I believe that was a key element in keeping the audiences attention. It breaks the confines of a horror and brinks on adventure, romance. All in all it is uplift for dull day and a visual feast as both leads light up the screen with their chemistry.
