Summary: I loved this movie!
Review: I loved this movie. The only thing is that some of the lines go a little overboard sometimes, trying to be funny, and don't really turn out as funny as they'd like them to be... Also, I think Brendan Fraser portrays his character to be a little too careless, that spoils some of the greatest serious moments. But I don't see why people call it a "comedy..." Of course it's going to be unrealistic! The point of movies is to let people experience what they probably never will experience in real life (well, most of the time anyway). I really enjoyed this movie. Some people say that it went too fast or something, but I prefer it that way because you don't get bored. I've watched the movie three times in the past 5 days, and I'm not tired of it yet. If you're somebody who takes everything really seriously and logically, you'll probably spend your time criticizing the movie's flaws instead of enjoying the thrill and action, laughing at the comical lines, and crying or flinching at the right moments. If you do appreciate all of the above, get the movie: you'll love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun movie - poor quality control
Review: A fun movie. Good special effects and a story. Wow! But at 1 hr and 40 minutes into the movie the soundtrack stopped. No more music or dialogue.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gesh, i thought it was kewl.
Review: i thought this movie was awesome. Some of ya might disagre but i thought it was, yes, better than Indiana Jones. also, when you watch a movie like this, you dont just sit there and examine every little detail etc. I mean, just watch and enjoy. Some people say that it was to much based on Indiana Jones, THINK, IT WAS SET IN 1925! SAME DIFFERENCE. I also think that Fraiser was good and so was Rachel Whats Her Name, but i think Beni (Kevin J O Conner) was the best character. But Evelyn's brother had to many "jokes". The FX were neato, alright.

C Ya Peeps!

Summary: fez
Review: While you're right that Benny is hungarian, the fez he wore was turkish, stupid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Benny is hungarian
Review: What's with people who think the character Benny is an arab? Am I the only who noticed the thick Peter Lorrie-esque accent? Even the fez he wears is hungarian.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Burn It!
Review: I bought The Mummy thinking that I'd get an entertaining/exciting action movie... was I sorely mistaken! No amount of special fx this movie throws at you is able overcome the lingering nausea induced by a childish plot and corny Airplane-esque humor. I actually felt deeply embarrassed for the director and cast.

I give The Mummy one star for its use as great kindling.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Indiana Jones wanna be
Review: If you're looking for characters to really care about and a "don't know what comes next" plot, don't look here. On the other hand, if you want as one reviewer put it "eye candy", then this is a good movie for you. Personally, I was left wanting to know more about Imotep (beyond the 10 minute setup at the beginning) and the cliche humor got a little old by the end of the movie. Yet even despite obvious attempts at being "Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Mummy", I can't deny the stunning panoramas, occasionally funny moments, and special effects. I'd rent it, but I wouldn't buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you mis the widescreen version,you missed the whole movie
Review: What a great movie this is.I enjoyed every second(I'm sure you will).

Pros:

*The movie is a visual masterpiece.The visual and sound FX are breath-taking.

*Heart-stopping action.

*Althouhg it's a sci-fi movie,it actualy has a plot!

*Brendan Fraser was terrific.I never though he could be so.

*Rachel Weisz was terrific too.Real eye candy.

*Very beautiful desert settings.

*Fast and intense camera movements.

*Excellent score.

*A super cool villain.

*Definitely the hottest and coolest extras you will ever find.In fact,the extras are enough reason to buy this DVD.

Cons:

*Although Stephen Sommers did a better job than any other director in trying to authenticate the Arabs,they weren't 100%.There were some Lebanese accents in Egypt,and a lot of the language isn't clear enough.

*Some overacting in jokes,namely Rachel Weisz's brother(in the movie).

*Arabs are either:degenerate scum(the prison warden),low wiesels(that mummy's sidekick),killers and a lot of other negativities.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most fun you'll ever have. Heaps of extras on DVD too.
Review: How could anyone not enjoy this movie. If there was an academy award for "most enjoyable movie of the year" this would win hands down. Brandan was perfectly cast as the gung-ho hero and rachel was great as the beautiful love interest. (and beautiful she is) just like his less sucessful but(in my books) equally enjoyable "Deep Rising", Steven Sommers trades horror in for fun thrills. The Mummy is a perfect action movie and the DVD version shows you can improve on perfection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Rollicking Good Adventure!
Review: This film really has it all -- fantastic special effects, nonstop adventure, exotic setting and love story to boot! If you have an interest in Egypt this is a special treat. The historical perspective looks wonderfully accurate and, coupled with the special effects, adds to the movie's atmosphere. The snappy dialogue keeps the movie from becoming too creepy and adds just the right amount of comic relief. The cast is headed by Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. They make a wonderful couple and have great chemistry. Brendan Fraser has been doing way too many "look what a doofus I can be" movies, but in The Mummy he gets a chance to show his stuff as true leading man material.
