What a let-down.

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2001)

What was the hype about? $68million opening? Why? Occasionally fun and it always looks nice, but the acting and script were dire. The special effects, especially the Scorpion King in the finale were terrible. I have seen more impressive rendering on the PS2. The saving grace was the huge battle in the desert, which did surprise me with its scale, otherwise I felt pretty cheated. Hardly any Mummy, no Scorpion King, lacklustre action and only moments of excitement and cleverness. If I were you I'd wait for it to be released on DVD and hope they include tons of extras. Otherwise stick with the original.
