Review: Leonard Maltin trashes this movie as if he never went to see a movie for fun.Steven Sommersby 100 million dollar epic made it's buget back in one week and went on to be one of the biggest box office triumphs of 1999.Reviwers also say this is not like the original with Boris Carloff but it is ,if you are looking for a mummy wrapped in bandage and two beady eyes you will be very dissapointed , however if you are looking for a big entertaining movie with a bit of everything in it and specal effects that are wild and visuals that are breath taking and just great fun then pick this one up , the story line is much the same as the older one a prince for pharo Seti named Imotep a romantic and loving man who is in love with his princess Anaksunamun only Imotep is allowed to tuch her the pharo Seti dissaproves and retaliates in anger and Imotep kills Seti and is taken therfor Anak takes her life Imotep vowing to bring her back to life at all costs in doing so he is punished and given the death of all deaths the Hung Di he is mummified and is placed a curse so evil that when he rises again he will bring along with him the 10 plauges of Egypt , the film changes to 1920's and our hero played by Brendan Fraisre is a comidic and brave as he is romantic, is off fending a huge battle at Hamanaptra a librarian beautiful but clumsy finds a map from her brother that will lead them to the lost city of hamanaptra it will lead all of them to this journey but this journey will also lead them to a book so evil that is rises Imotep from the grave and all of the evil plauges with it , our hero's must find a way to stop the creature before the creature brings Anak back to life and brings the end with her. This is a fun remake of an old classic that stays true to the original while adding an Visual side to it that will make it classic on it's own right but even the name ensures that the mummy is a visual wild ride with options on the making of this succesful film and a directors commentary into the making of this film the mummy is sure to be a keeper in your collection the sequal to The Mummy is in filming, pick this fun classic up you won't regret it and enjoy.

Summary: A mix Between Indiana Jones and the original Mummy
Review: The Mummy is an Excellent Movie, That was understimated, esentialy because the people was goin to the cinema thinking that the movie was so scary and dark. The mummy is funny but is not a comedy, the mummy can surprise you but not is scary movie. I think the movie is more like Indiana Jones. If you like this type of movie this is the movie for you. The video and the Sound is perfect, simply perfect. Th extras are soo good, are Amazing, you have a behind the scene, and one behind for the special effects (49 minutes), trairles for other movies, Egyptolgy, etc. This a must Own DVD. I recommend this DVD, after Buy Matrix Buy This. They are the best example for what was made the DVD.

Summary: Rent this for you and your friends
Review: to make fun of. This was a poor attempt at camp. The acting was way too over the top, the plot was paper thin. The special F/X were the only redeeming quality. If you truly want fun and camp rent "Army of Darkness" or "Big Trouble in Little China". This one isn't worth it, unless it's on cable late at night.

Summary: GONE WITH THE SAND
Review: I feel always uneasy when I don't appreciate a movie that almost everybody consider as a great achievement. And here, it comes again... with this MUMMY thing. Why does one spend so much money for a so poor result ? For the mummy... sorry, for the money of course ! Since I cannot find a better reason, I don't see why I couldn't say that THE MUMMY is a bad movie. Nobody will be hurt and I won't feel guilty at all. So clean your ears folks and listen : THE MUMMY IS A BAD MOVIE. After that, don't come here and say you haven't been warned ! A story borrowed from a 1932 horror movie, tons of Disneyland-type special effects, a Creepshow-Mummy, characters as hollow as their heads, insects and dozens of situations stolen from the Indiana Jones saga, a vision of the ancient Aegypt filled with the worst american clichés, jokes that will only please the 15 years old and under (after all, they are the only ones left who go to the movies) : that's why I don't like this movie. A DVD for the garbage can or a DVD for your children or a DVD to rent if you're very, very tired.

Summary: The Motherload of Fun!
Review: When it comes to movie genres, horror is in my top five,probably after science fiction. However, the remake of the Mummy isnot a horror in the traditional sense. Most people associate modern horror with gore-laden special effects, forgetting that true fear comes from the unknown and urgency developed from carefully built up suspense. The 1999 remake of the Mummy isn't a horror film, unlike perhaps the Sixth Sense-which I wouldn't show my nieces or nephews, but the Mummy is just good clean fun. We are treated to a great ensemble of actors, breath taking sets and funky special effects, thanks to Industrial Light and Magic. The film also doesn't take itself at all seriously, making you laugh just as surely as you will thrill to the action sequences. The film opens with a stunning view of Thebes-city of the Seti the First where we see the sphinx under construction (okay, so they missed by a few hundred miles on that one!). Anck-su-namun, the Pharaoh's untouchable mistress is continuing her affair with Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo)-a priest of probably Anubis. Getting caught in the act by Seti, they kill him just as the Medjai (who were actually the Egyptian police force) break down the doors. Anck-su-namun then kills herself as Imhotep escapes after promising to resurrect her. He and his priests steal Anck-su-namun's body and take it to Hamunaptra where he attempts to do that, but all is lost when the Medjai storm the sarneche where her body was being prepared. Imhotep is mummified alive for his crimes-cursed to spend an eternity undead locked within a sarcophagus, being eaten by nasty little scarab beetles. Brendan Fraser stars as Rick O'Connell, a down on his luck Legionaire who led his garrison to the legendary city of Hamunaptra-the city of the dead in 1923 (Note: the city didn't really exist and is based possibly on the Necropolis of Egypt). They find the city, oh yes, but they also find hundreds a Tuareg warriors bent on killing everyone to prevent them from find the evil that dwells beneath the sand. O'Connell escapes after being chased too close to the statue of Anubis where Imhotep is buried and a small sand storm that whips up around the statue that frightens off his attackers, allowing O'Connell to escape with his life. The next time we see him it's three years later and he's about to be hanged for having a very good time. It is in Cairo where we meet Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz), a beautiful and befuddled librarian desperate to prove herself an archaeologist to the sexist old-boy network in England. Rachel delivers a beautiful performance of the slightly nerdy expert of Egyptology. We also meet her lush brother, Jonathan Carnahan (John Hannah), who has stolen a puzzle box key from O'Connell that has a map to the fabled city of Hamunaptra. The two rush to find Rick after Evelyn's boss 'accidentally' burns the map in a candle flame. They find him at the Cairo Prison where Evelyn must bargain with sleazy warden for O'Connell's life by promising him 25% of the riches they find in the fabled city. From there the adventure of a life time comes to life as O'Connell reluctantly agrees to lead Evelyn and her brother, and the sleazy warden, across the desert sands to the ancient city. They also have a run in with the 'bloody Americans', who are out to plunder Hamunaptra's riches, and the two groups must work together in order to survive-first by an attack by the Medjai, then after finding the Book of the Dead, Evelyn incants a spell that kind of...sort of...brings Imhotep back to life, whose sarcophagus they found earlier that day. The Americans steal Anck-su-namun's canopic jars-the vessels that stored her organs after they were removed. As the mummy comes back to life, it becomes a race to escape back to Cairo, followed by Imhotep who begins to kill the American thieves one at a time for their crime, using their life essence to rejuvenate himself in the process. Imhotep also develops a crush on Evelyn, who he plans to sacrifice so that Anck-su-namun many live again. The Mummy, start to finish, is a wild romp that doesn't take itself too seriously. Thanks mostly to the interplay between the main characters who play off each other magically. It doesn't set out solely to scare, but does offer up some genuinely creepy moments. With exemplary production values-be they sets, effects or costumes, The Mummy delivers heaps of action, laughs and adventure of a type akin to Raiders of the Lost Ark, a fine pedigree to follow. But the Mummy also harkens back to a time when movies were made with a certain eye to quality-there is nothing in the film that made me lose my suspension of disbelief, because it is a solidly written yarn. It has unforgettable moments, be it O'Connell's back stabbing friend Beni as he runs through a collection of holy symbols and prayers in attempt to stave off the advancing mummy. Or Rick and Evelyn's budding romance and the interplay that captures these pleasantly goofy characters wonderfully. The Mummy stands out as my favorite action film of 1999-beating out the Phantom Menace and the Matrix by a fair margin. The other bit of good news, besides this gem of a movie, is that they are making a sequel, and one can only hope that it is every bit as good as the first. This is an excellent film and can easily take a place next to some of the best action films of all time-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard, The Terminator, Big Trouble in Little China, and Aliens. It delivers at every turn-excitement, adventure, a few scares, and romance. Great fun and I highly recommend the letter boxed version over the pan-and-scan so that viewers can see everything. END
