The Mummy is amazing CG coupled with good flow of action

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 1999)

This movie quite possibly has the best special effects I've ever seen. Although the plot starts out just a bit slow, soon the action gets rolling and provides for a movie which I could actually sit through for over two hours. The action sequences are plentiful, well directed, and exciting, though their effectiveness is slightly clouded by noticable anachronisms (I noticed several guns in the movie which did not exist in 1923). I was also surprised to see, after his numerous comedy movies, Brendan Fraser work very well as an action hero.
