I've seen The Mummy several times, and it's a pretty good one. I actually use to own this movie on video, and watched it a few times. I even saw The Mummy on television, and it was even shown to us in school, and I seem to enjoy it every time. It's a great adventure, and it almost feels like you're part of this adventure. The plot was good and interesting. Some of the scenes can be pretty frightening at times; in fact, it was so frightening that it literally gave me goosebumps. It's a good Mummy movie, and there aren't too many out there, so I would see this if you already hadn't done so. We've been blessed with so many fine movies throughout the 90s, and I feel The Mummy is another one of these fine movies to be released just before the start of the next century. It's one of the best movies to have come out during the late 90s.

Yes, this is technically a remake. But if I learned anything from Oceans Eleven. It's not always a bad thing. It is a decent story of a ancient Egyptian priest who comes back from the dead to rule the world... or destroy it... bring about plagues... rescue his love... OK that part gets a little lost. But the events play out with plenty of action, danger, and pretty well timed comedy.The cast is too notch, Brendan Fraiser at his height, personally I thought he would have been the next Indiana Jones. RACHEL Wisez was great and adorable. I've always liked Arnold Vosloo as an actor. And this movie introduced me to Oded Fher, who is also great.Over all a great popcorn movie. It's not deep, but it has everything you could ask for in a good relaxing after a lo g day movie.

I remember seeing this movie in the early 2000's on rented DVD. Movie is a complete entertainer in terms of action and adventure. There is non stop action till the very end. The story line and plot are mildly interesting if you are into ancient Egypt and mummy sorts of things. Acting have done their job very pretty well. CGI are at par with that time. You can watch it one fine evening if you are in mood for a India Jones type movie.

It's always difficult for brainless action movies to hold up over time. It's incredibly rare that such films can stand more than a decade or so without feeling too silly. The Mummy, which was made nearly 2 decades ago, definitely falls under this category. With a dumb script, exaggerated acting, dated CGI, and a dopey tone, 1999's version of The Mummy is a cable movie at best.It's amazing to see how far this series has come, from the intellectual 1932 film to the blockbuster action 2017 feature, it's clear that this is a property that people are interested in no matter the genre it forms. With that said, if a film titled 'The Mummy' never manages to offer a single scare or thrill, there's something seriously wrong with the direction. "But that's not the direction they wanted to take with the movie", some may say, well then make the film you intended at least a little bit entertaining. I had heard this film wasn't to be taken seriously, but to show no respect or knowledge for the source material at all feels disappointing to say the least.The acting is abysmal. Some of it can certainly be contributed to the dialogue they were given and perhaps the direction as well, but the line delivery here is just brutal. I know Brendan Fraser isn't particularly regarded as Oscar caliber, but Rachel Weisz definitely is. To see all them do such poor work is more than difficult to watch. But I think this can all come back to the tone established by director and writer, Stephen Sommers. The lighter, goofier tone is clearly purposeful, but it only works if you buy into the characters. I always bring up the Fast & Furious as examples for these types of films because they succeed in making over the top action movies without sacrificing the dynamics between their central characters. The Mummy doesn't do that one bit.I think one of the things that does work is Jerry Goldsmith's beautiful score. Not only does it harken back to the days of John Williams' heroic theme for Indiana Jones, but it actually complements the action quite well. It's just too bad I didn't particularly care for the action that was going on anyway. Overall, this film displays a serious lack of awareness in tone, humor, and writing, even if some of the action provides brief swashbuckling fun amidst a great score. The Mummy is forgettable.+Score-Tone-Rough acting & writing3.8/10
