Summary: Worst or best ?
Review: This film was nothing like I excepted. I did think it would be a horror film but it's more of a indiana johns film. Not that I mind that it was just a shock. Would I rush would and buy this film again ? properly not. It was enjoyable but there are many better films out there that I would have prefered to watch.

Summary: Indy is back - sort of...
Review: The first couple of minutes of a movie means everything. It sets the entire mood for the rest of the picture... and this one caught my undivided attention. The intro scene with the sphinx is the perfect example. My hat is off for one of the unsung heroes of movie magic: Jerry Goldsmith. His Egyptian style music is breathtaking and is the perfect addition to ILM's high quality special effects. As for the movie in general, it's the best adventure movie since Indiana Jones, especially since the Mummy is the ONLY one during the nineties that reaches the same level of fun and excitement. I didn't give it five stars because it is reserved for the Best Film of 1999: The Matrix.

Summary: EXCELLENT Movie!
Review: There are certain movies that stand out and this is absolutely one of them! Non-stop action, humor, superb performances from all actors, and the best special effects available, make this one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. The DVD features many extras that I have also thoroughly enjoyed, such as the step-by-step creation of different special effect scenes. I've heard rumor that they will be making a Mummy 2. I can't wait!

Summary: Belongs on MST3K
Review: This was possibly the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Very few films manage to get everything wrong, but this one did. Expect a weak plot and a poor computer generated setting laced with general inaccuracies. There are a few moments of good acting with some characters, but they are canceled out by the horrible 'acting' of characters such as the mummy, which stares at a character for ten seconds, then growls.

Summary: Campy fun
Review: If you are expecting anything more than a light-hearted, fun, campy, action-horror (it really isn't scary at all) flick, you're expecting too much. That's what it is supposed to be--LIGHT, FUN. Too many people are criticizing it for being just that. Try not to take it too seriously and have fun. It was great if that's what you are expecting. Oded Fehr was amazing--can't wait to see him in the sequel. :oP

Summary: A real showcase DVD
Review: If you're a special effects or computer graphics geek (like me), you'll LOVE this movie. Besides, this DVD has lots of special extra features like showing how the FX & graphics were created, and an "Egyptology" section that is very informative about Egyptian history, the Egyptian gods, etc.The plot and acting is fun and enjoyable, but it's really the special effects, special DVD features, and excellent 5.1 sound that make this a "keeper".

Summary: THIS WAS GREAT!
Review: Being a horror fan I didn't think this film was too good. In the first place I didn't even wan't to watch it. But when I did watch it, it was fantastic.The ending was great and it keeps you thinking.This is a 5 Star movie.With out a doubt go buy it!

Summary: so much promise lost
Review: The Mummy has some of the best and original special effects in a movie in a while. That is about the extent of its good parts. Sure, it is fun to watch once (I am noticing this trend with a lot of movies lately), but in actuality it has bad humor, little adventure, and absolutely no scares. If I go see a Mummy movie I want to be scared, not watch a bad Indiana Jones knock-off, and that is all this movie is. Rent it, but I can't imagine owning it.

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.
