Summary: Fun SFX, but paper thin
Review: Although this movie is a fun ride with tongue-in-cheek dialogue, it didn't bother to get anything about ancient Egypt right. Considering it wouldn't have been that hard to get at least a few details correct, this lack of ANY historic accuracy ruined the movie for me. By the time the characters started talking about "five canopic jars," I couldn't stand it anymore, I had to turn to my date to say "FOUR canopic jars!" And, what's "mummifying people alive?" Since step 1 of mummification is draining the body of blood, you wouldn't actually live through more than a few minutes of the process. The complete ignorance of Egypt, obstensibly the setting and motivation for the entire film, is extremely grating and offensive. Cute dialogue is nice, cool SFX is nice, but they aren't enough to get me to watch this one twice.

Summary: Wow - What a Ride!
Review: Hold onto your pants - The Mummy will take you on a wild ride of action, adventure, thrills, romance & hilarity! Move over Indiana Jones, Brendan Frasier (as O'Connell) is the heir-apparent for the throne of Action-film leading man! This movie is wonderful & thrilling from the opening scene (breathtakingly brings ancient Egypt alive) to the amazing ending (I woun't say anymore so that I don't give away any of the phenomenal story & plot)! If you love action-adventure movies, you must see THE MUMMY!

Summary: Great fun and adventure
Review: If you like Indiana Jones you'll LOVE this! I can understand some people calling it cheesy, but I think that it is important to remember that it is the cheesiness that makes this movie so fun. Do we really need another action movie where the hero deadpans his way through it? This is much more fun and enjoyable. The acting is perfect for each part - particularly John Hannah as a wimpy thief reluctantly tagging along to save the world. This movie has everything; it's funny, it's entertaining, and can be watched over and over again without losing any of its charm (trust me - I know).

Summary: Fun
Review: It's one of the best movies that came out last summer. Sure, it's less of a horror movie and more on the action side, but it works. It makes a great demo disc for DVD. The best extras are the documentary, which never gets boring, and the commentary track, which is both interesting and funny.

Summary: What did you expect, an Oscar flick?
Review: The plot isn't too deep. The acting isn't too great. The dialogue is cheesy half the time. But that's not the point of the movie. It's like Men in Black; lighthearted and silly. It's full of stunning special effects and good laughs. It's a way to sit back and not think and just relax for a couple hours. Sometimes, that's all you need.

Summary: A Great Value for your money!
Review: The Widescreen Collector's Edition, has it everything! The movie, trailers, a behind the Special Effects, deleted scenes... and even a poor quality videogame. The movie however is nothing less than a cheesy popcorn B film, but it still can be fun if you put your mind in blank and you like to do nothing on Sunday's noons. If you want to buy this movie be sure to buy the DVD Widescreen Collector's Edition if you want your money to worth.

Summary: MUMMIFIED.

Yeah, yeah hahahahaha! This movie was boreing! I was expecting much more, this was a sheesy movie to say the least! I felt mummified while watching it.
