Rating: Summary: It all ends in sand and gold Review: This is a light adventure film, with a lot of spectacular violence, horror and fear. It is situated in the mythic land of Pharoahs, and later in Egypt. It refers to strange practices and beliefs that are like a whole fantastic world of horror and magic. The Mummy is the result of a crime against one Pharoah, who was God on earth, punished by the priests in the most stringent way : momification when still alive. Then it is the release of that monster and the necessary steps to stop him. It is pure magic with a reference to the Plagues of Egypt and a complex religious world that has to do with bad (black) and good (golden) magic and formulas. It is a constant reference to the world of the dead, to the other side of our world, to the underworld of damnation that is organized on the same pattern as the real (pharaonic) world and that only has to do with keeping the dead and the Undead in check, under control. What happens when it gets out of hand ? The Undead is released and golden magic has to be found and used to bring in the supreme guardians of this underworld that have the power to make mortal the immortal, and hence give power to the living to kill the ex-immortal and rid the earth of the curse, scourge and calamity. The exploration of this mythical world of Ancient Egypt remains partial and even superficial. The most accurate details are avoided to protect the public against real horror that is a lot more horrific than literary horror, even that of today. The special effects are also there to give that attractive look and feel that will capture some younger audience. We regret a little that those magical myths are not explored in more details, and we dream of « The Servant of the Bones » by Anne Rice, or even the coming « Queen of the Damned » by the same. Entertaining and funny, and in the end the scholar-minded are the saviours of the world, and they get some kind of treasure as a reward, whereas the greedy are all destroyed, which is after all nothing but justice.

Rating: Summary: Stupid absolutely horrible! Review: This was one of the worst movies! I have seen to date! If you enjoy this there is something truly wrong with you. How can one man get away from danger so much?!Its special effects nothing more and a lot less! Brendan Fraser is a bad actor with a soon to be short movie career! Boo to the people that enjoy this movie! Hooray to the people who understand what I mean!
Rating: Summary: It has what Indiana Jones lacks Review: And, that is the genuine chemistry between the actors and the actresses, and the outstanding balance of mixing action, romance, adventure and fun together. The love scene between Imhotep and Anck Su Namu was dramatic and unforgetable. The romatic development for Rick and Evelyn was equally good and delightful; and most importantly - it is believalbe. I really enjoyed watching interactions between Rick and Evelyn. How can you deny the scene, in which Evelyn got drunk, tried to kiss Rick and missed, is not one of the best romantic acting ever? Do you notice the subtlness in Brendan's facial expressions? Although this is an action movie, the personalities in this movie are more humane than the ones that are of the same genre. IMHO, its entertainment value has surpassed all its friends and relatives.
Rating: Summary: Mummy...the ultimate movie! Review: I really loved this movie, i remember seeing it the next day after star wars come out and loving the fact it is a new Indiana jones type movie, sure there has been many tries at those type but this movie is dead on, only missing doctor jones. The movie is not scary but a load of fun and a good adventure. if you have the regular dvd then skip this and save your money as it's not enough extras to make it worth it the mummy returns is out on dvd soon so the spotlight on it here is not worth it. but if you don't have the mummy yet on dvd then get this one since it's both widescreen and fullscreen and the extras are nice.
Rating: Summary: What an overrated flick! Review: I was so bored, that's all I can say. Actually, parts were funny because they tried hard to be scary or suspenseful. In my eyes this movie is a flop.
Rating: Summary: Classic Horror Fun Review: I loved this movie at the theatre.. When it came out on DVD it was a 'must-have' for me. My husband thought it too campy,(he hadn't seen it at the theatre, so was going on my recommendations). The special effects are great, the scariness & campiness are a wonderful throwback & nod to those great classic scary films I enjoyed so much as a kid. Well worth getting I thought!
Rating: Summary: The Mummy Full Screen??? YUUUUUCK!! Review: I was somewhat disappointed by this "ultimate" edition of The Mummy. I like the movie and already own the collector's edition. Still I ordered the "ultimate" edition because I was hoping for tons of extras. Imagine my surprise when I found that disc 2 contained the FULL SCREEN (ptooey!) version. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF VALUABLE DISC SPACE!! Also the previews for The Mummy Returns are not very helpful, now that the movie already runs in theaters and will be out on DVD soon. I guess the "ultimate" edition could've been a LOT more ultimate for my taste... Well, but the movie is still fun to watch and the picture and sound quality is fabulous. JUST LOOSE THOSE NO-GOOD FULL SCREEN VERSIONS!!
Rating: Summary: Get Ready to Be Mummified Review: Think the best speical effects movie ever made & the best classic monster movie ever made with a little spice of comedymixed in. This highly updated version of a Universal Classic is sertanly worth your money And for all Brendan Fraser Fans out there in think you will agree this has to be one of his best peices of work so far. With the lead as Brendan Fraser and the hilarious side jokes by John Hannah this movie get a 5+++
