Rating: Summary: Rather stupid humor Review: The visual effects were pretty cool, but the actors were stupid and their humor was stupid. 3 stars.
Rating: Summary: Great Special effects Review: This is one of the best movies made. The story line matches the orginal movie exactly. The special effects are the best I've seen lately. That has nothing to do with space movies. What a nice change.
Rating: Summary: Dummy Mummy Review: This movie at times seemed to parellel The Indiana Jones movies, down to near direct quotes "I hate snakes" however in The Mummy it was "I hate bugs". Alot of the sets and costumes were Indiana Jones inspired.Not only were the actors as dry as the desert they were in, there were it seemed a series of endless shootout scenes, horses running, guns firing, dust flying. These action sequences are nothing more than time fillers and BOREING to watch. The humour in The Mummy was a total distraction and offset the mood of the entire film. It turned into this hokey comedy of sorts, which truely rings pathetic in my book. The romance and pychological aspects of the older monster movies is missing here. It has been replaced by mindless special effects, and what seemed like an endless array of confusing action sequences. Dull characters, dull storyline plus dazzling special effects equal dumb movie. You need more than cool effects!
Rating: Summary: this video is full of adventure Review: this video is full of action packed adventure. Nothing will get you out of your seat for this.Brendon Fraiser is the best and cutest guy to have played int his movie.
Rating: Summary: Just a great movie Review: I loved this movie since I saw it in the theater. I was pleasently suprised when I found out the made it into a packed special edition! This disc can keep you busy for hours!
Rating: Summary: Encino Man goes to Egypt Review: After watching the Mummy the entire cast of the movie should of been mummified and place in a crypt for eternity. The acting was horrible and the special effects were at best " chessy ". The Mummy in my opinion was the worst movie of 1999. I wouldn't recommend this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Buggy as all hell Review: The movie is fine, but this particular DVD is buggy as all hell. Navigation packet errors abound, and tech support at Interactual, fully aware of the problems, is spectacularly unhelpful. In effect, the software requires patches that do not exist, and attempts to run the DVD on the regular Win'98 player almost never succeed. If you are extremely lucky, you may get a copy that occasionally runs, but I _highly_ suggest you save yourself the risk.
Rating: Summary: A really funny movie, not the least bit scary Review: This movie is a great movie for the kids to watch. It seems to be more funny then scary. Brendan Frasier is probably the best guy for the movie. He sense of humor and great acting, make this a great movie. If I was to recommend this movie for you to watch, I would say just watch it in the theatre. Where it costs very little. That would be better then owning that movie at such a high price. This is a great comedy, rather then a action filled thriller. Don't buy it, it's not worth the time and money.
Rating: Summary: Uggggghhhhhhh . . . Another Hollywood movie disaster. Review: This film tries so hard to be an Indiana Jones action/comedy flick . . . and it fails so badly. What fundamentally separates the Indiana Jones movies from this one is the way in which the movie treats the audience. Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford started out with the idea that the audience had at least a modicum of intellectual capability. Much of the fun of the movie was in trying to determine where the film was going next and intrying to determine just how Indie would get himself out of this hairy situation. The historical and archaeological references, while in no sense of the word perfect, were, well, believable. "The Mummy" was not of the same caliber as the Indiana Jones movies. Every punch-line was telegraphed, every move by every character was predcitable and worst of all, it seems as if the film-makers went out of their way to insult our intelligence. Yes, yes, we are all a bunch of dim-witted paysans who cannot understand the intricacies of (a false) ancient Egyptian culture. That is why it's absolutely NECESSARY for us to TELL you everything that's going on at this movie at every turn! I hated, and hate, this movie for everything it was and wasn't.
Rating: Summary: This movie is the best Review: I love this movie. The acting and special effects were great and it is definitely worth the money. I couldn't wait to get it as soon as it came out on video
