Rating: Summary: Good hollywood thinking Review: When I saw this movie I was so grateful that the producers didn't waste any money on screenwriters directors or actors... they sunk every penny into special effects... isn't that what America wants?
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness for DVD frame advance feature Review: I really did not care for this movie at all. The special effects are very impressive but it stops there. I found myself using the fast frame advance a lot in this movie and it was the first time I have ever seen it. Pointless dialog and dumb jokes interupted some decent action scenes and had no effect on the movie. I even think the Mummy himself was a little whimpy. Yeah he can make neat faces in the sand and he killed a few people but he never really kicked any butt. Maybe I am just compairing it to the Matrix. Glad I rented it. As far as the DVD I liked all of the extra's it had on it. It is always fun to "explore" a new DVD.
Rating: Summary: GREAT FILM,GOOD ACTION,BUT WISH IT WAS LETTERBOX FOR THE DVD Review: THIS IS A GREAT MODERN UP GRADE OF THE ORGINAL BLACK AND WHITE. THERE IS GREAT ACTION AND A LOT FUN SPOTS IN THE FILM TO YOU UNTIL THE END. IF YOU BUY THE DVD IT IS NOT A LETTERBOX FORMAT, THAT IS ONLY WITH THE VHS AT THIS TIME.
Rating: Summary: Worst movie ever Review: A good example of what is wrong with Hollywood today. I have never looked at my watch more times during a movie in my life. Brendan Fraser is one of the worst actors ever.

Rating: Summary: --- Review: The mummy is great history
Rating: Summary: Movie Magic but... Review: This movie is proof that special FX alone do not a good movie make! I missed this one in the theater, but I can honestly say I probably would have been as bored with it there as I was watching it at home. The story line is too predictable. And the only difference between this version and the Boris Karloff version was the edition of 90's computer FX. The FX were spectacular, but the acting left a lot to be desired. It was very hard to get to like, or dislike any of these characters. They seemed one dimensional at best. One laughable scene has the fierce Imhotep sitting in a hotel room with one of his victims as if they are best buddies having a beer. Why does the all powerful priest feel the need to be social with his victim before he finishes him off...give me a break! (He wasted no time with any of his other victims.) And at one point when he could have finished off Brendan Fraiser's character he decides to let his hapless zombies do the work. Come on! If you are looking for mindless escapism then rent this movie. If you are looking for a truely ingenious, classic movie with the right blend of special FX and quality acting, rent any of the Indiana Jones movies!
Rating: Summary: The "movie" of doom Review: I am glad that I missed the threater release. This is one of the WORST movie. Cheesy acting, average special effect, stupid plot line ......
Rating: Summary: A Not Very Good Movie Review: If it weren`t for some stylish special effects this movie wouldn`t be worth watching at all. Too much like Indiana Jones but not anywhere near as good. This movie can`t even begin to compare with the original "Mummy" with Boris Karloff. Plot, character development, story line & acting were all excellent in that "classic".
Rating: Summary: True to the original, excellent special effects. Review: The Mummy Special Collector's Edition DVD is a good example of just how good DVD can be. Excellent animated menus, awesome sound and special effects, interesting behind the scenes information as well as background Egyptian history which ads to the story line greatly.As for the movie. Good action with a hint of comedy make this a must have. Don't expect to see a slow moving bandaged up creature here. This special effects masterpiece is a monster you do not want to mess with. If you are looking for a horror film, look elsewhere. This is more like an Indiana Jones film filled with action and comedy. So if you liked the Indiana Jones series, you will love this one. Could Brandon Frazier be the next Harrison Ford? Watch it, then decide for yourself.
