This place is cursed!

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2001)

First of all, let's get one thing straight: the entire movie is not much more than the prequel retold, the plot is preposterous and has such enormous holes that the entire army of Anubis might wander through them, there are so many computer generated special effects you should call the film "CGI - The Motion Picture" instead and most of the acting is over the top...AND it is one of the most entertaining, hilarious and worthwhile movies I've seen for a long time!! This is popcorn cinema at it's best, suspense and humour abound, so what does one want more? No, there are no social issues discussed, there are no oh-so deep thoughts nor philosophical questions, but if that's what you were looking for you shouldn't have gone to watch a film with the word "Mummy" in it's title in the first place! On the contrary to that dismal and jingoistic hogwash "Pearl Harbor", this film doesn't have any pretentions as to it's importance or significance. Consider it as the illegitimate child of Indiana Jones and Star Wars Episode I. Adventurous eye candy with loads of one-liners. Don't knock it if you haven't seen it!
