Rating: Summary: THIS IS A VERY, VERY BAD FILM Review: I welcomed 'The Mummy' with open arms and I really tried to enjoy it. I thought that dark tombs and egyptian curses would be perfect for a horror film. However the director had other plans. This film is a big disappointment which is largely because of its blend of horror and comedy which regularly kicks itself in the face. The jokes and humour are similar to that found in the Disney movies and the horror is just a load of cliches such as a thunder strike when someone mentions the egyptian curse. This film is basically for kids, however the 15 certificate totally leaves out its unfortunate targeted audience. When you watch this film, you can almost feel the embarassment of the director when he first watched this film with a group of people. The film is laughably bad and only did well at the box office because people didn't expect this. Sure, the effects are good but good effects can't save this film from its premature death. I can't believe so many people rated this film with 5 stars. Please don't waste your money on this DVD, go and buy a good film such as 'The Matrix' or any one of the Jerry Bruckheimer/Don Simpson films (Con Air, The Rock, Crimson Tide, Armageddon, Enemy of the State), but don't buy this, don't even bother renting it.
Rating: Summary: An specal effects intense thrill ride of a movie hang on. Review: Leonard Maltin trashes this movie as if he never went to see a movie for fun.Steven Sommersby 100 million dollar epic made it's buget back in one week and went on to be one of the biggest box office triumphs of 1999.Reviwers also say this is not like the original with Boris Carloff but it is ,if you are looking for a mummy wrapped in bandage and two beady eyes you will be very dissapointed , however if you are looking for a big entertaining movie with a bit of everything in it and specal effects that are wild and visuals that are breath taking and just great fun then pick this one up , the story line is much the same as the older one a prince for pharo Seti named Imotep a romantic and loving man who is in love with his princess Anaksunamun only Imotep is allowed to tuch her the pharo Seti dissaproves and retaliates in anger and Imotep kills Seti and is taken therfor Anak takes her life Imotep vowing to bring her back to life at all costs in doing so he is punished and given the death of all deaths the Hung Di he is mummified and is placed a curse so evil that when he rises again he will bring along with him the 10 plauges of Egypt , the film changes to 1920's and our hero played by Brendan Fraisre is a comidic and brave as he is romantic, is off fending a huge battle at Hamanaptra a librarian beautiful but clumsy finds a map from her brother that will lead them to the lost city of hamanaptra it will lead all of them to this journey but this journey will also lead them to a book so evil that is rises Imotep from the grave and all of the evil plauges with it , our hero's must find a way to stop the creature before the creature brings Anak back to life and brings the end with her. This is a fun remake of an old classic that stays true to the original while adding an Visual side to it that will make it classic on it's own right but even the name ensures that the mummy is a visual wild ride with options on the making of this succesful film and a directors commentary into the making of this film the mummy is sure to be a keeper in your collection the sequal to The Mummy is in filming, pick this fun classic up you won't regret it and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: A mix Between Indiana Jones and the original Mummy Review: The Mummy is an Excellent Movie, That was understimated, esentialy because the people was goin to the cinema thinking that the movie was so scary and dark. The mummy is funny but is not a comedy, the mummy can surprise you but not is scary movie. I think the movie is more like Indiana Jones. If you like this type of movie this is the movie for you. The video and the Sound is perfect, simply perfect. Th extras are soo good, are Amazing, you have a behind the scene, and one behind for the special effects (49 minutes), trairles for other movies, Egyptolgy, etc. This a must Own DVD. I recommend this DVD, after Buy Matrix Buy This. They are the best example for what was made the DVD.
Rating: Summary: WARNING! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF C*&P! Review: This movie is terrible in every way. Dont let the flashy special fx fool you! How people can enjoy bad acting, patheticly thin plots and bad artistic direction is beyond me. Do yourself a favor, STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE.
Rating: Summary: Full of Fun and Adventure Review: I loved this movie! Likable characters! Terrific Special Effects! Romance, adventure, suspense, and lots of laughs. If you want a movie that is a great escape and full of fun, you will love this movie. It is simply a good time! The extras are terrific and informative. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: The Mummy Review: I think it is the best video i have ever seen i watch it over and over i never get sick of it and i will keep watching it cause its the best.
Rating: Summary: Rent this for you and your friends Review: to make fun of. This was a poor attempt at camp. The acting was way too over the top, the plot was paper thin. The special F/X were the only redeeming quality. If you truly want fun and camp rent "Army of Darkness" or "Big Trouble in Little China". This one isn't worth it, unless it's on cable late at night.
Rating: Summary: Get it on DVD for better Quality of sound and effects Review: If you want to watch the real effects of sound and picture then go for the DVD version specially the collector's Edition where the bonus material are very informative and helpfull in uderstanding the work and effort and the special effects used in this movie...... I really liked this movie very much and I hope you will too.
Rating: Summary: A complete and total waste of time and money! Review: This film is the worst I've seen all year!To think that this made over 100 million dollars at the box office makes me sick!Terrible acting,directing, script,and some of the worst characterization I have ever seen.Ed Wood could make a more emtrtaining film!The movie's only asset are the so-so special effects.A five year old could make a better movie!Save your money or buy the original Boris Karloff version instead.
Rating: Summary: GONE WITH THE SAND Review: I feel always uneasy when I don't appreciate a movie that almost everybody consider as a great achievement. And here, it comes again... with this MUMMY thing. Why does one spend so much money for a so poor result ? For the mummy... sorry, for the money of course ! Since I cannot find a better reason, I don't see why I couldn't say that THE MUMMY is a bad movie. Nobody will be hurt and I won't feel guilty at all. So clean your ears folks and listen : THE MUMMY IS A BAD MOVIE. After that, don't come here and say you haven't been warned ! A story borrowed from a 1932 horror movie, tons of Disneyland-type special effects, a Creepshow-Mummy, characters as hollow as their heads, insects and dozens of situations stolen from the Indiana Jones saga, a vision of the ancient Aegypt filled with the worst american clichés, jokes that will only please the 15 years old and under (after all, they are the only ones left who go to the movies) : that's why I don't like this movie. A DVD for the garbage can or a DVD for your children or a DVD to rent if you're very, very tired.
