Summary of The Mummy

In the 1920s, a group of archaeologists led by adventurer Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) discovers the mummified body of Imhotep, an Egyptian priest who was cursed for falling in love with the Pharoah's mistress. When they accidentally resurrect him, the battle for survival begins, as the mummy begins to use his powers to reclaim his long-lost love. Director Stephen Sommers updates this classic Universal monster for the 1990s, using a dazzling array of computer-generated special effects. Fun performances from Fraser and Weisz add to the tongue-in-cheek Saturday matinee appeal.

Chicago Tribune

The Mummy
I've just watched this while slogging through a big pile of ironing and that's what it's perfect for. Has a bit of eww! A cute couple, some amusing sidekicks and Arnold Vosloo (yum). Just engages enough un-employed brain to make flattening clothes...
Really terrible.
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Now, I don't mind adventure films every now and again - the type where you just take your brain out of your head for two hours and have some fun - but this one really stinks.<br /><br /> The...
