Summary: A really funny and adventerous romp!
Review: I expected "The Mummy" to be another greasy, melo dramatic action flick. When my sister FINALLY convinced me to watch the movie, I found it to be really funny, visually pleasing and well acted! I was pleasantlly surprised to find John Hannah, from "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Sliding Doors", as Evie's brother, Jonathon. His part as well as Brendan Frasier's part was hilarious and well written. The Egyptian setting and subject matter gave the movie a sense of mystery and antiquity you don't usually get in action movies. Watch this movie for the humor and you will not be dissapointed! For all of those who like action this is also a great pick. The special effects are really stunning and, while this is a period piece, the action sequences are exciting. Personally, not being a fan of action, I enjoyed this movie more because of the plot (which isn't as cheesy as it could've been,) the setting, the actors and the humor!

Summary: The Mummy at its best!
Review: When Rick O'Connel (Brendan Fraser) is asked to take Eve Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah), to Hamunaptra (a.k.a. The City of the Dead) in Egypt, things take an interesting turn. Because O'Connel's best friend (who is now his rival) is also going to Hamunaptra, and when they get there, Eve accidentaly unleashes a flesh-eating mummy upon the Earth. The mummy's name is Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) and he's vowed to resurrect his dead girlfriend, Anack-Su-Namun any way he can. But to do so, he needs Eve as a human sacrifice! Can O'Connel save Eve and the entire world from certain destruction, or will Imhotep plunge it into eternal darkness?This is the best movie I've seen since "The Matrix" and "Spawn."
Great effects, like always, and awesome acting. Please watch this DVD, it's like no other!

Summary: nice but nothing to get excited about
Review: well, it is a kind of fun movie, i even bought the dvd and now i am looking for somebody dumb enough to buy it from me. sorry, but i can not understand what folks like about hollywood mass products, full of stupid action, stupid dialogues, and stupid plots, like a jump and run adventure game - a very easy way to spend your way after your successful lobotomy, but no real value. there is just no touch, no really interesting or dramatic moment where the movie gets a hold of you and just knocks you off your feet. please do not buy. watch, if thou wilt, but don't thou buy this piece of brainlessness.

Summary: "Goodbye Benni!"
Review: Whoever thought a remake of one of the best movies of all time would be better than the original?!!!!! This is WAY better than the 1932 version, and I loved the old one! This is Brendan Frasers best role (aren't too many of those.) The cast fits in perfect with the story and dialogue. This has GREAT effects, TOP NOTCH acting, and a WONDERFUL story line. It's cool how the film makers decided to change the Mummy's appearence from bandages to a walking corpse. It was a change for the best! This movie mixes Horror, Romance, Suspense, and a touch, I mean a small touch, of Comedy. No matter what kind of movies you like, SEE THIS, you'll like it. Also features: Rachael Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and Kevin J. O'Conor. "Death is only the beginning..."

Summary: Hokey, yes.. This IS the Ultimate!
Review: I loved this film for so many reasons.. Yes, it's full of action & effects, but it really delivers on romance,campiness & a great adventure.. Whatever holes there might be, it brings me back to when I was a kid staying up late to watch those great scary movies.. I imagine this is how it would have been done in the 30's and 40's if only they could have!! Besides the film it has many behind the scene documentaries, THREE (count 'em, 3!) audio commentaries (the one with Odded Fehr,Arnold Vosloo,and Kevin O'Connor is especially good)and many other goodies.. Definitely a keeper!

Summary: The best action adventure movie of all time
Review: The mummy has it all!! Non-stop action, clever humor, make-you-jump scares, and romance. It's perfect! It will never be compared to Shakespear, but it will forever be a classic. While the mummy has great special effects and is set in an amazing, beautiful location, it still pulls through with a terrific story line and character development. Every character is striking different and true to themself. There is no way that you will not be able to care about each one, or hate each one, depending on the character. The mummy does have an Indiana Jones feel to it at times, but does not over-it. If you are looking for a fun, exciting, thoughtful, and all-around well done movie, check this one out; you will not be disapointed.
