Highly entertaining!

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 1999)

The Mummy was a fun, action adventure romp through ancient Egyptian curses and excitement that hasn't been seen since Indiana Jones. Brendan Frasier is perfectly cast, as is the lovely Rachel Weisz. The film has thrills, spills, chases and of course, the mummy. The visual effects from ILM are amazing. They bring a fresh spin on a classic story. The film has a breezy pace that never becomes too heavy, and it has moments of humor and good old fashioned gross out moments. For an afternoon well spent, go see it. Adventure movies should be fun, exciting, and take you to far off places with larger than life characters, beautiful damsels, and really nasty villains. The Mummy has it all!
