Think "Raiders" meets the Boris Karloff "Mummy"

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2009)

"The Mummy" is the remake of the 1932 Boris Karloff film about a 3,000 year old mummy named Imhotep that is awaken by a gun-fighter and a librarian. Once Imhotep awakes, he wreaks havoc on everybody, bringing curses and plagues with him.
I must say, this was a really fun movie. It's surprising to me that it has a 6.whatever rating on IMDb. I think it's a lot better than that. It's funny, it has great characters, it's exciting, it's intense, and it's a thrill ride. I mean, it feels like you're on a theme park ride. I could tell that Stephen Sommers is a fan of Universal movies, and he understands that the studio is all about making great movies, and giving people a fun time at the movies.
