If you can believe it, it's great

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 1999)

The Mummy was one of those movies that depends on an audience's ability to suspend their disbelief. I mean 2 years in an Egyptian Prison, and coming out with the most immaculate teeth I have ever seen. Also the movie picks and chooses what they want from Egyptian folklore and history.
Furthermore, I hear a lot of people say that this movie has incredible special effects and everyone is soooooo impressed. Well, guess what I am not impressed at all. I can tell where the special effects are, and I can tell you how they did that (Thank you very much Rowan University). The thing with special effects is that if you can tell that it's an effect, then it's not special enough.
But if you are able to suspend your disbelief and like comedy/action/horror/Brendon Fraser films then you will love this film. And would probably buy a ticket to see the sequal "The Mummy Vs. Encino Man".
