DUMMY CRUMMY MUMMY NOT SO YUMMY
I just saw this movie and was among the few that were disapointed. The first was at least ok. The special effects were not top notch. There were so many things that annoyed me in this film. I think the first sign it was a bad movie was when the kid nocked the pillars down in the beggining and he was actually trying to push it back up. I know kids do stupid things but that's beyond what a kid would do. The parents mentioned the kid was smart in the movie but that's as believable as the whole movie. I started seeing it last night but after the first 20 minutes I wanted to be entertained and not annoyed but poor cinema. I put in MST3000. I thought the balloon with the turbo was very laughable. They probably killed Eevie to keep her brother and son busy till the end of the movie. Why did the Mummy's love not save him. One guess is that he lost the Scorpian King army but does that still break eternal love. Visually some parts of the movie were great like the ancient egypt set. The cgi wasn't the greatest even though it was done by ILM. The effects were rushed for the movie to be out on time. This movie left a few more unanswered question. Maybe I'll torture myself and see it a gain.If you wanna see good CGI and turn off your brain see Jurrasic Park. Especially JP3 since the dinosaurs are the most real looking to date. The action sequences are at least exciting.If you wanna see good special effects and a story with depth see TPM.If you wanna see mild special effects and a weak story see MUMMY RETURNS
