Resurrection is a bitch.
Not so much for this titular Mummy , but for us , the audience trapped in this lopsided, multimillion-dollar pyramid piece. Like so many a miswrapped corpse, this flick's storyline is only used to strap together wild action sequences. In its favor, the flick knows how to undercut its apocalyptic brouhaha with silliness and entertaining bits involving the little tyke. Too bad the biggest laughs come when it takes itself seriously. The Mummy is a poor excuse for an action movie, making the original look like a masterpiece.
