Instead of going home talking about character development, you can go home and discuss the effect of a bug crawling under someone' s skin. Well summer's here, and its name is The Mummy. The effects are cool. The Mummy has a lot of funky powers. The world is his plaything.
Sands rise, the dead come to life, bugs eat people.
It's good stuff. Mind you, there are some holes. But this is a summer blockbuster, it's supposed to have holes. If they make a big deal about the 10 Plagues of Egypt, but only get around to 5 or 6, fine. Although I for one would have dearly loved to see the Plague of Frogs.
