Summary: Yawn!!!
Review: I figured that the reason I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch this movie was just because I was tired. Tried to watch it again and the same thing happened.Special affects were good. The rest of the movie just stunk. Plot holes to drive a truck through. poor acting and some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard were enough to move this into my list of all time worst movies. Of course the inane premise should have been enough to warn me off. Let me sum it up. Egyptian High Priest is screwing around with the Pharoah's mistress. He does this out in the open where Pharoah can walk in. Pharoah comes in and with his bodygaurds right behind him. The kill him. What do they do to punish this high priest? They put a curse on him where if he is ever released, he will be the most powerful creature to ever walk the planet and end all life as we know it. Ummmm... Why not just torture him for a while and then kill him....

Summary: Great Special Effects With Humor Throughout
Review: I thought that this movie was great. I love Brendan Frasier's acting ability and I can always expect to laugh when I am watching a film he is in. I felt that the story line could have moved a little faster at the beginning with a little less violence but all and all a fun movie to watch.

Summary: Lighthearted Gothic Action film with topshelf effects
Review: If you come to view The Mummy do not expect to find the typical gothic horror of the previous movies that deal with this subject. I found The Mummy to be a de-lite-full movie. Lite because of the antics of its not so typical cast, yet because of the visual effects I also found it to be a entertainment delight. Light, daring, thrilling...all around good entertainment, and isn't that what we watch movies for.

Summary: Couldn't wait to see it... couldn't WAIT 'til it was over!
Review: Bought bags of Raisenettes and M&M Peanuts to enjoy this movie with... 30 minutes into it and I couldn't wait for it to end. I hate this movie! One of my top 5 all-time bad films. Painful to sit thru!

Summary: Good Indiana-Jones-type fun!
Review: I was surprised by this movie, most certainly in a good way. The effects were great, and the characters were refreshingly humorous. I look forward to the sequel!

Summary: In a word: Drek!
Review: This time-waster is the movie-making equivalent of food poisoning. It stunningly shows how a studio helmed by bean-counting MBA's with no sense of creative originality or principles can foist mind-numbing drivel on audiences. The script can't rise to the level of "derivitive" and is nothing more than first-class theft turned into third-class filming. Curse of the Pharoahs? They stole it from The Abominable Dr. Phibes (which was handled more originally, intriguingly and entertainingly); Flesh-burrowing bugs that kill? That was the cockroach episode from The X-Files a few seasons ago. Even the computer generated "Mummy" was merely The Terminator stolen and covered in goo...and that's just three shining examples. The dialogue is a study in redundancy: Thrice repeated (obvious) lines such as: "It's a curse!", "We're in big trouble!" and the annoying reference to "The Mummy" as "The Creature" (suddenly we're in a Frankenstein movie) shows how lackluster the screenwriters were. As to its being touted as a campy pastiche of the "Indiana Jones" films -- Please! It was done better in Romancing The Stone and even the self-parodying elements in the sequels of the Indy trilogy. Dr. Phibes displayed classier "camp", which shows what magic can happen when left in the hands of talented veterans. As to the rest of the overblown special effects: their purpose must have been to hide the fact that there was no new story to tell (these people didn't even find an interesting aspect from the original script to expound upon) and they wound up tiring me out - I wished I was able to access their graphics computers and put in a PASSWORD PROTECT to keep them from ever doing this again! This disjecta was concocted for 30 second attention spans by throwing effects at viewers to keep them from wandering out of the room! The 1933 original (back when Universal cared) is far superior -- slow, yes, but the performances are effective and stylized, Dwight Frye is brilliant,and all Karloff has to do is turn those eyes to the camera and you're all gooseflesh. My one star goes to the only comsummate professional on the project: Jerry Goldsmith, who proves once again that no matter how pathetic or putrid the project, he respects his audience enough to deliver a well-crafted score - fortunately, you can get it without suffering through this movie! I saw this in a laundromat while doing my wash (mercifully it was airing for free) and can honestly say I was more entertained watching my clothes tumble in the dryer. And this is the same studio that gave us Apollo 13. Go figure.

Summary: Finally a mummy who doesn't drag his foot......
Review: Kind of reminds me of the first Indiana Jones pic. Fun, action filled, bigger than life scenes and stars, witty, special effects rampant, and meant to be enjoyed with popcorn. Fraser does a good turn and should repeat ala Indiana Jones. I felt like I had been transported back to childhood when these kinds of movies were king. Don't dissect it just sit back and enjoy. DVD sound is great and the extras are fun to watch to see how they did the SFX.

Summary: Good But Could Be Better
Review: I enjoyed this movie a lot and I thought it was very entertaining, but it could have been a lot better. I'm definitely not talking about the special effects, which were amazing. And some parts were genuinely funny. But the acting was not that great, and parts of the plot were confusing. Other than that, I thought it was pretty good. :O)
