Rating: Summary: A MUMMYTASTIC MOVIE! Review: What a surprise this was, I thought it was going to be some slick eye candy movie with little else, but thankfully I was wrong, what a thoroughly enjoyable film. The characters were funny and varied with lovable quirks, the Action and special effects were top notch, (I LOVED THOSE CAT SCENES! ), and Imhotep is such a suave Mummy, you cant help but admire him, his honeylove, sorry cant remember her name, is of course impossibly beautiful, with her fashion sense Im surprised anyone could remember her name! Our bumbling Good looking Heropeoples were a riot, kept me cackling throughout the movie.Now Ive read a few of the reviews, and was surprised at the comments about people finding so many historical flaws in this movie, I cant quite understand why they would bother, I mean this film is fictional! , no actual walking talking living dead creature exists, (well maybe a few models! ) no skies raining balls of fire (unless you count a meteor shower or New Years eve! ) no swarming insect hordes that eat you alive (Okay so theres mosquitos and sandflies etc...) and no fanatical secret organisations plotting our doom (Political, Religious, Children toy manufactures not withstanding!) Okay so maybe it is real, WHO CARES! this movie rocks, it kept me entertained and I didnt mind the ticket or video price when I had to get a copy. If your expecting a historical doco-drama then dont even pick it up, but if you want to try an action comedy adventure then this is for you (if it helps that O'connell is Lara Croft in drag then dream away! ) ENJOY!
Rating: Summary: Suckfest 2000 Review: Is this what movies are coming to? I learned nothing aboutancient times, or the characters, or even about kung fu! This movieis MTV blurspeed editing that adds nothing to the viewing experience but a headache. This was nonstop movement, NOT action. Add to this visual noise an over the top sountrack that tells us morons stupid enough to watch this ... how we're supposed to feel. I couldn't wait for the music to let me know the climactic ending was coming -- dunt dunt Tah DAHHHHH. But wait, that climax was just a teaser, now there's another, Tahhh DAAHHHHH, and another and another and another... I thought it would never end. So what's the plot? Who knows? I wasn't supposed to wonder about that as I was getting clubbed over the head with the BIGGEST and MOST action (movement)the ancient world has ever known!
Rating: Summary: Imhotep! Imhotep! I love this movie! Review: I don't care what anyone says I love this film. If you're the type of person who can just have fun this is the movie for you. If you're the type of person who likes to point out all the bad things and historical inaccuracies, then you probably won't enjoy this film. This movie is not a documentary it's a fun filled action adventure with a few horror moments added in, if you're looking for a documentary about Egypt, the rulers, Gods etc, then watch the discovery channel or something. I know some people have a problem with some stereotypes of Egyptians or Arabs in the film, but people fail to notice that the pretty librarian(forgot her name) and love interest of Rick(Brenden Fraser), is half egyptian and so is her brother(forgot his name too) they were't "smelly" or "stupid" they were great characters and very funny! The sexy Arab guy (played by Oded Farh) was very good and HOT! no he was not protrayed as "smelly" etc. only one character in the movie was. Some people called the movie stupid and cliche filled, but the hero summed the whole movie up when he said "save the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy and save the world" duh, if you're looking for anything other than that you're mistaken. Speaking of a "bad" guy. Imhotep (played by Arnold Vosloo) was SEXY! and so good! I loved that fact he spoke Ancient Egyptian in the movie and not gibbrish or worst... English. This South African wonder will send your hearts racing and make you wish you were the love of his life! In the end you will root for Imhotep. I can't wait until Mummy 2 comes out and I hope Arnold Vosloo gets a bigger role than in Mummy one, we need to see more of him....with is clothes off mostly *hee hee* Benny was great and very funny! although he is bad you can't help but to love him. Get this movie NOW!
Rating: Summary: Worth many replays! Review: What is it? Its an action-adventure/horror-comedy and one of the most masterful pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. The lead character Oconnel is more fun than Indiana Jones, the English woman and her brother are a riot, as is the little nemeses and pathological worm "Benny". This film drips with 3 dimensional characters - lots of them and they are all acting their butts off! Brilliant dialog! Hilarious double takes and one liners. This is top talent! The director is one very talented man to have both written and directed. Why can't more filmmakers create this kind of magical warmth with actors? The movie is worth repeat viewings just to visit with all the "friends" you will make while viewing it. A fantastic plot, brilliant characters, top directing, amazing ambience, and fun, fun, fun! Bravo to the whole crew!
Rating: Summary: Pretty wild Review: This is not what I expected at all....it was so much better. Brendan Fraser is hilarious, as always and the other actors round out a great, and entertaining, cast. This movie was over before I knew it and I enjoyed every second of it. Although it may scare little kids at parts, its a great watch for anyone else.
Rating: Summary: MORE PLEASE Review: Although not as good as Star Wars, The Mummy and Star Wars have some things in common... Both have a REALLY cute (and I mean REALYY cute) guy (as in Ewan {obiwan} and Brendan {the american cute guy}). Both have cool plots. Both are good movies. Does that about sum up why U and i mean U shuld buy both The MUmmuy and Star Wars? I hope so! From Obi-Wan's faithful Jedi wife! Bye Bye

Rating: Summary: Wow! Good movie. Review: Ok it's not great acting and not a spectacular story but it has good special effects and lots of action and action is what I want I'm waiting for The Mummy 2 I hope they make a good movie a better story with the same good quality effects.
