Overview - Dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell stumbles upon the hidden ruins of Hamunaptra while in the midst of a battle to claim the area in 1920s Egypt. It has been over three thousand years since former High Priest Imhotep suffered a fate worse than death as a punishment for a forbidden love—along with a curse that guarantees eternal doom upon the world if he is ever awoken.

Trying to cram action, adventure, fantasy, romance, comedy and horror into a single should not have worked, especially not in a Universal Monsters reboot, but 1999's _The Mummy_ is so much damn fun, that they manage to pull it off with aplomb. _Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

It's not horror you know - it's just real good family fun. The Mummy is directed by Stephen Sommers, who also co-writes the screenplay with John L. Balderston.

***Indiana Jones Horror Story*** If you think "The Mummy" (1999) is a remake of the glacial, ultra-serious classic of the same name, think again. This version is just as much an action/adventure (and comedy) as it is horror; and not 'horror' in the sense that it's scary, but rather horrific. Also, be ready for quite a few laugh-out-loud parts. Everything magically works, granting the viewer ...

This remake takes the original monster movie and brilliantly blends it with "Indiana Jones"esque adventure. Though primarily an action-adventure movie, The Mummy adds comedy and horror with outstanding results. Brendan Fraser and John Hannah's humor provides moments of release between monster kill...

This is just a good bit of fun. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz star as the unlikely couple who set off to discover the golden treasures of Pharaoh Seti I. Alongside her hapless, scaredy-cat brother (John Hannah) they encounter the Mummy - an epitome of evil, disease and destruction - and engage in a battle royale to defeat this monstrous reincarnation. Stephen Sommers keeps this moving along well...

The Mummy is one of those movies that never loses its charm, no matter how many times you watch it. Directed by Stephen Sommers, it's the perfect mix of action, adventure, and humor, with just the right amount of spooky thrills to keep things exciting. Brendan Fraser is a standout as Rick O'Connell, bringing charisma, humor, and heart to the role. He's not just a great action hero but also some...

<em>'The Mummy'</em> is a film that I've taken way too long to see. I've known of these films for ages, in fact I think I (illogically) watched the third film when I was a kid. This first entry is very good. I haven't got much to note other than the fact that there's plenty to enjoy, it's a fun two hours. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are a sturdy onscreen pairing, both give praiseworthy perf...
