The premise of the movie isn't that far off from the original. Egyptologist and general mess Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) discovers a map to the lost city of Hamunaptra, and so she hires rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) to lead her there. Once there, Evelyn accidentally unlocks the tomb of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a man who had been buried alive a couple of millennia ago with flesh-eating bugs as punishment for sleeping with the pharaoh's girlfriend. The ancient mummy is revived, and he is determined to bring his old love back to life, which of course means much mayhem (including the unleashing of the 10 plagues) and human sacrifice. Despite the rather gory premise, this movie is fairly tame in terms of violence; most of the magic and surprise come from the special effects, which are glorious to watch, although Imhotep, before being fully reconstituted, is, as one explorer puts it, rather "juicy." Keep in mind this film is as much comedy as it is adventure--those looking for a straightforward horror pic will be disappointed. But for those who want good old-fashioned eye-candy kind of fun, The Mummy ranks as one of choicest flicks of 1999. --Jenny Brown

Customer Reviews of The Mummy (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Indiana Jones Horror Story If you think "The Mummy" is a remake of the glacial, ultra-serious classic of the same name, think again. "The Mummy" of 1999 is just as much an action/adventure (and comedy) flick 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 in "The Mummy" granting us a highly entertaining romp. Brendan Fraser is perfect as the Indiana Jones wannabe. Rachael Weisz is so cute it's hard to take your eyes off her (WATCH OUT for her opening library scene -- it's a hoot). Arnold Vosloo is great as the mummy Imhotep and Oded Fehr is memorable as Ardeth Bay, the guardian of the City of the Dead. John Hannah grants some highly comedic moments as Rachael's brother and Kevin J. O'Connor is perfect as a selfish, disloyal, greedy little weasle. <

>"The Mummy" is not great ponderous art as in, say, "Apocalypse Now" or "2001: A Space Odyssey," but it is great adventure and horrific fun. On that level it's film-making of the highest order!
A great action movie
This movie is the perfect blend of all worlds. Drama, love, action, adventure. The direction, casting, and acting is flawless and beautiful. I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
Great
Great movie. Full of action, corpses, skeletal demons, and of ther things. The best part is with the scantily-clad hottie at the beginning. Oh Man she was a hottie!! OHHH!!!
