This version of The Mummy is a timeless classic that is still unmatched. The story is engaging and even downright scary at times. Despite some of the horror scenes, this film is mostly enjoyable as an adventure film. Brendan Fraser is funny, brash and formidable as Rick O'Connell. Rachel Weisz shines as Evie, bringing wit. humour and resourcefulness to her role. Evie is actually a very well rounded female character for an action film. Arnold Vosloo is pure menace as the Egyptian priest Imhotep, who relentlessly stalks his prey with cold brutality. Even though the story is fictional, it will still interest those who love Egypt and its history. The Mummy remains a fun film to watch and it has aged remarkably well.

This movie was one of the first dvd's I ever bought. I saw The Mummy at the cinema and enjoyed it so much bought it on dvd. I have watched it about 5 times over the years as it is such a watchable movie. The special features on this dvd are simply amazing. Making of the film, Deleted scenes, Visual and Special effects featurette, Theatrical Trailer, Feature Commentary, Interactive Dvd Rom, Egyptology 101 (exciting facts about Ancient Egypt),Production Notes and many more .Just the extras will keep you amused for hours. The film lasts for 120 minutes and is action packed from start to end. Quality is perfect with Dual Layer and 5.1 surround sound. I have the full uncut version. I like this film so much as it has wonderful special effects but not over the top like in The Mummy 2. Mummy 2 is still good but I think they went too far with the special effects as some parts of that film looked more like a pc game. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are perfect as the explorers searching for a lost city. On their adventure they accidentally awaken a 3000 year old Mummy who then proceeds to try and take over the world. This film has horror with a touch of humor and of course loads of action and romance. The music in the film is really good and I find the entire film very exotic. I kind of root for The Mummy to win as Arnold Vosloo is gorgeous in this film. The film has it's share of surprises and jumps too.Think I will watch it again tomorrow night.Read full review
n ancient Egypt, one priest had the nerve to fall in love with Pharaoh's mistress. As a penalty, he was cursed to become one of the undead and suffer for all time. Unless someone released him from his prison. Flash forward to the 1920's. A group of treasure hunters and a group of archeologists set out to find the ancient city of Hamunaptra. When they accidentally awaken the ancient evil, they find themselves in a race against time to save their own skin and the world in general. Is there a way to stop someone you can't kill? This movie starts out rather slow. The first hour is set up getting the characters to the city. Once the Mummy awakens, however, it becomes a fast paced thrill ride you can't stop watching. The actors do a great job of keeping things believable, even if the plot has a few holes in it. The DVD truly has some great stuff on it. Not only do you get great picture and sound with wide screen and full surround, but you get some fun features, too. The director's audio commentary is fascinating, discussing the struggles that it took to get the movie to the screen. Along those lines, the documentary is fantastic as well. I always love seeing what goes into making movie magic. Also worth checking out is the section on ancient Egypt. This movie is slightly horror, but mainly action/adventure. It's a Saturday matinee, popcorn flick with great special effects. Pop it in and enjoy.Read full review
