Summary: Wants to be "Indiana Jones". Nearly succeeds.
Review: A tricky one, this. Enjoyable, certainly. Stunning, definitely. Fulfilling? Not really.

Let's be positive. Brendan Fraser is a great young actor who deserves truckloads of applause for his work. He gives a wry, sardonic, yet somehow enthusiastic perfomance - outstanding, given he must have been prancing around in front of a blue screen half the time. The scenery and special effects are enchanting, and are the kind of thing DVD can improve immensely. It's a carefully timed and well-tailored story that'll move smoothly over your senses.

And then the movie's over, and you think: 'Oh.' Because in the cold light of day "The Mummy" just doesn't do enough. As per recipe, all the greasy and untrustworthy characters are offed in satisfyingly unpleasant ways. Our rude and uncultured hero gets the prim and proper heroine, who screams a bit and runs around while he wields a sword. Everything just wraps up a bit too neatly. And because the whole thing is played slightly-for-laughs, it's hard to feel any real anxiety about the drama. You know the ending already.

Definitely see this movie. It'll entertain, and you'll see some good acting and some genuinely beautiful scenery. But try before you buy. And don't expect Shakespeare, or even Dickens.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adventures of a Young Indiania Jones
Review: This Movie is Indiania Jones without Harrison Ford and with better special effects. Nonetheless it's entertaining, does not take itself to seriously and is well worth watching. Bredan Fraser does well as the swash-buckling hero and once again John Hannah shows what a good actor he is in his supporting role. This Dvd is also packed with features and is well worth an addition to anyone's collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Great Movie, The Mummy.
Review: I think The Mummy is the best movie I have ever seen in my whole life, and I'm only 14 years of age. It had Action, a bit of Romance and thrills which was my favourite. I hope who ever reads this will do the same as I have done. It was the best and greatest movie for me. I just knew that when I saw it advertised, it was going to be a great moviieee.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.

STEVE.

Summary: Thank God I only rented it!
Review: Well for me this movie had only one saving factor to it. And that is the special effects and the cool Mummy. I think the best way for me to describe the acting is it reminded me of a sitcom in it's first few shows. The actors didn't seem to be comfortable with there characters and it just seemed flat. The one liners where pretty cheesy.

All I can say is rent it, if you like it buy it. But don't buy it without seeing it first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of Fun
Review: Hold on tight to the roller-coaster that is 'The Mummy'.

From the opening scenes of how Imhotep came to be cursed through to the last reel where the good guys win and the bad guys 'get what's coming to them', it's just one piece of action after another.

The special effects and humour are great. For me, John Hannah is excellent as the brother and has some of the best lines - look out for the way he copes with the mass of people under Imhotep's power as he runs for the car!

Brenda Fraser is good, as always as the strong- jawed hero that nothing seems to faze. Excellent for all the family. Turn the lights off, get the popcorn out and press play! Enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth seeing again in DVD
Review: I loved the movie"The Mummy". It was great special effects a little scary but basically a good story and held my attention. I will buy this for my DVD collection. Worth seeing again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD version peversely fascinating
Review: The Mummy is a good example of a mediocre movie that is made interesting by the director's commentary on the DVD version. In some ways the fact that it is not a very good movie makes the director's comments even more fascinating, as we get explanations for what they were trying to do, and some intriguing insights into the mind of a second-rate director. Might be worth buying if the DVD starts to disappear from rental shelves, which eventually will happen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: what a fun movie
Review: I watched this movie expecting only 2 things: it would be a fun Brendan Fraser vehicle and that it would be a light-hearted action film in the Indiana Jones tradition. It was both. Because the trailers didn't imply that it would be even loosely based on past "mummy" movies or on truly historical figures or events, I didn't expect that and wasn't disappointed. The Mummy is neither a horror flick nor an historical documentary; it is simply good old fashioned fun portrayed rather well by a very competent cast. Watch the movie and enjoy!
