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.

Summary: "It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book."ΓΏ
Review: That's true unless what you are reading happens to be the magic spell to awaken a 3,000 year old corpse that has only one desire, destroy the Earth. This is the kind of movie I like. Dramatic, a touch of comedy, I wouldn't say action packed but it has enough to please. One negitive point I agree with: Brenden Fraser was good in this film but the part of Ric O'Connell seemed more Harrison Ford's style. As for the film's content; my 7 year old brother findes it quite entertaining.

Summary: Don't buy the full screen version
Review: Be carefully which version buy. Unlike other studios that offers both full and widescreen on the same DVD, Universal is dumb and greedy enough to release two versions. Check the right version before you buy. The full frame version must from the VHS tape master which is less detail and grainy compares to the widescreen version not to mention mutilated the film. The sound is the same for both films, which are good but not great. Wish they had DTS version instead of the full frame. Four stars for the widescreen version on audio and video. Three stars for the content as a decent B movie.

Summary: AVERAGE MOVIE--GREAT DVD
Review: THIS MOVIE WAS MILDLY ENTERTAINING. IT CONSPICUOUSLY BORROWS FROM THE INDIANA JONES SCHOOL OF ACTION/ADVENTURE CINEMA. THE EFFECTS ARE SPECTACULAR--BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF THAT TO KEEP THE VIEWERS ATTENTION. MOSTLY YOU HAVE TO ENDURE SOME FAIRLY CLICHED ACTING AND PREDICTABLE KILLINGS OF THE SUPPORTING CAST. THE REALLY CAPTIVATING PART OF THE MOVIE WAS THE INTRODUCTION, WHERE THE VILLAIN WAS INTRODUCED IN THE SETTING OF ANCIENT THEBES--AND INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC (ILM) REALLY OUTDID ITSELF ON PROTRAYING THE VAST SWEEP OF THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY. WHILE THE MOVIE WAS MEDIOCRE, THE DVD WAS ITSELF A FUN DIVERSION. IT HAD SOME FEATURES I HAVE SEEN ON ONLY A FEW OTHER DVDS--A PC GAME, SCREEN SAVERS, EMAIL POST CARDS, AND SEVERAL NARRATED CLIPS ILLUSTRATING HOW THE ILM CREW CREATED SOME KEY EFFECTS FOR THE FILM. ALL-IN-ALL, IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND YOUR DVD COLLECTION, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DVD.

Summary: Below Par Story Line
Review: This DVD is a mixed bag. On the plus side, the disc has many extra features thrown in. I think that DVD's should have the extra features because of the added cost over VHS-it gives the customer an incentive to buy. I especially enjoyed the documentary on ILM who did the effects for the film which are great. On the down side, the plot line was quite shallow and really lacking. After a while I felt that the effects had taken center stage and the story was secondary. If you want a disc with good audio and video to show your friends what the format is capable of, then buy this. Otherwise get the Boris Karloff version.

Summary: A must have for the home-theater freak
Review: I will not get too much into the story or content. I liked the movie, it is very entertaining and lots of fun. 'Indiana Jones'-like, only much better. What I would like to point out is that special effects, sound-quality and picture-quality of this DVD-movie are the best I've ever seen or heard to date. Must have for the home-theater freak.

Summary: Silly, silly film
Review: This movie was a fleeting diversion, nothing more. And that's about the only positive thing I can say about it. The story took forever to get started and wasn't even worth waiting for and the characters were insufferable, especially that annoying guy who was in "Deep Rising" and the brother of that Frasier's love interest. The movie would've been better if the Mummy had offed him. The special effects are decent, I suppose but they're not enough to make me want to watch this turkey again.

Summary: Wrap this one up and send it away
Review: Whoever did the preview for this film should be paid well because they managed to make this film look promising, unfortunately this is an expensive bomb that misses on all categories except special effects. The positives are that the special effects, costumes and sets are all very good. However, the story starts out okay but soon enough fades into cliches and a chaotic swirl that seems to exist just so they can throw in corny humor and unneeded violence. The characters are terribly tiring and annoying, I kept hoping the story would improve and redeem this film, but it didn't. The constant dumb humor kept getting in the way any kind of eerie or exciting moods that might have been created. Universal should be ashamed, they had the money and the time and instead of putting out a modern horror classic they put a big stinker that that tries to combine Indiana Jones with Army of Darkness, but fails miserably. Avoid this film and watch either the 30's classic or the first Hammer Mummy film.

Summary: Not a bad movie.
Review: The Mummy wasn't the most involving movie that I've ever seen, but it still wasn't bad. It reminded me quite a bit of other films I've seen, particularly the movies dealing with Indiana Jones. The Mummy no doubt had a lot of money put into it; the cinematography and special effects were better-than-average. The plot didn't quite grab me, but it was still okay though. The acting was good and the leading lady was very beautiful. The Mummy wasn't a film that striked me as very original, but it still was pretty good and worth a watch.
