Somewhere between Indiana Jones and the original Jason and the Argonauts.

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2001)

I'm not usually a fan of the big summer block-buster action flicks, but I found "the Mummy" thorougly entertaining. I found the action to be exciting and fresh, the visuals awe-inspiring and full of grandeur, and Brendan Fraser to be suprisingly well cast as the hero.
While this film is nothing new, it is one of the better movies of it's genre. The good enough story-line is aided by great computer effects and solid acting. But most importantly, for all the nit-pickers: Brendan Fraser actually reloads his 6 shooter in several scenes.

The Mummy is nothing new but it does supply viewing that is suitable and entertaining for almost all viewers.
8/10
