In ancient Egypt, high priest Imhotep started a forbidden relationship with Anck Su Namun, Pharaoh Seti's Mistress. When Seti finds out about what's going on, Imhotep and his loved one stab him, but can't escape the trustworthy guards: Anck Su Namnun chooses to commit suicide while Imhotep is bestowed with the Hom-Dai, the most feared curse of all: He is mummified alive in Hamunaptra, the city of the Dead. More than thirty-six centuries later, in 1923, to be exact, adventurer Rick leads Egyptologist Evelyn and her brother Johnathan to mysterious Hamunaptra. While Johnathan is keen on finding the legendary Egyptian treasures, Evelyn wants to search for the Book of the Living, which would clarify a lot in historical knowledge about the ancient Egyptians. Unfortunately, they and a rivaling group of careless American adventurers free Imhotep's mummy from his eternal prison. Now, with the ancient and quite agile high priest on the loose, the adventurers and scientists face not only a dangerous enemy, but also a massive threat to today's world: Imhotep wants to bring Ankh-su-namun back to life by using Evelyn's body, but he also wants to rid the world of the disbelieving crowd of democracy-supporters to be able to enforce his tyrannic dictatorship.Actors

Wha? I never reviewed this?
The first movie I’ve ever liked that stars Fraser. Fun action flick.
Bad adventure…I guess a bit of campy fun here and there
Average Hollywood fare
Plot: 6
Originality: 4
Visuals: 6
Acting: 5
Overall: 5.25
the most purely ‘fun’ movie in a long time
good daft action flick.
Fun to watch with lots of adventure but a little silly.
One word. CRAP!!!
Stupid stuff with a bit of good mixed in
Don’t they make good movies anymore?
To improve this movie, get rid of the actor that played the lead role, or make him a serious, believable character. The idea of this movie is good, but the script is lacking in many places. Can’t they make a serious movie, instead of one with cheap slapstick. Rent the video if you have nothing else to do, but don’t run out to see this.
Very good entertainment value - definitely worth a look
awful although i laughed a few times. don’t know how much intended to be funny
This sucks.. skip it…
I just can’t dislike this!
As a lover of Indiana Jones movies, I see a lot of charm with this pretty fun yawn.
It’s not bad, and the effects are wonderful (Im not a lover of big stupid actionfilms). But the logic is minimal and the story rather stupid.
BUT… this is the long lost Indy-replacement and forgive me for saying this; I enjoyed the ride.
It’s pretty Cheesey, but a fun ride.
Hollywood’s Mummy!
The Mummy recieved mixed reviews when it was released detailing it’s intense Hollywood influence. Fact of the matter is, every movie made says ‘Hollywood’ all over it. A movie is meant to be entertainment, not reality. For those that nit-pick over the details, you should be watching documentaries.
This movie was very entertaining amongst other things. Starring Brenden Fraser as an archealogist whose interests of the lost city of Humnuptra almost leads to his demise, The Mummy is pure Hollywood entertainment!
Filled with superb special effects which makes the Mummy a gruesome eyesore to look at when he makes his appearance and good acting performances — see ‘The Mummy’ for a good time and a few scares.
Typical Hollywood summer blockbuster: all special effects and no brains.
