 I want my Mummy January 13, 2010

Yep, this is one of those other misnamed films like the "Godzilla" (1998), which could have been called "Lissardus" has no relationship to "Godzilla, King of the Monsters". We could call this movie, "Mummy Dearest" no wait, that title is taken, how about "Mr. Sandman" which has no relation to, "The Mummy" (1932). Do not try to tell me that Boris Karloff and Brendan Fraser are doppelgangers.
A reviewer once asked why people keep doing dumb things. Part of the fun is saying, "stay in the car" or in this case "don't read that!" Just because this is not my favorite type of movie does not mean it was not done well for the type. There is always those that want it scarier, better graphics, and with some sort of script. I swear some one would even have Imhotep change his name to Freddie.
I would like to say something negative about this movie. But then why do I keep watching it? I think that once you get past the name thing, this is a fun movie.
 One of the Best Mummy Movies Ever December 2, 2009
Marie Ashton (Texas, USA)
This movie has the right amount of adventure, not gory, and is a fun watch. A movie to see over and over again.

 NOT WHAT I EXPECTED November 5, 2009

IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT I SAW ON THIS MOVIE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE OLDER MOVIES OF THE MUMMY THAT HELD YOUR INTERST. THIS MOVIE WAS ENTIRELY TOO DULL.
Death Is Only The Beginning October 21, 2009
D. Reed (Elkton, MD USA)
Another favorite franchise of mine, the movies just never fail to deliver. In this, probably the "scariest" out of the three, we have the prologue that explains Imhotep's backstory and motivations then jump to Brendan Fraser's (another favorite actor of mine) character with the French Foreign Legion defending the City of the Dead in 1923 then jump another three years where we're introduced to Rachel Weisz's character and the rest of the story. A remake, and I use the term loosely, of the 1932 classic, so some story elements remain the same. Imhotep however gets an upgrade. From a walking corpse to his fully regenerated self, he possesses super-human abilities and can summon the ten plagues of Egypt. Fraser and Weisz have a chemistry together reminiscent, I think anyway, of Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg of The Avengers. John Hannah as Weisz's greedy brother Jonathan and Kevin J. O'Connor as Beni, O'Connell's cowardly "friend" are the comic relief in this but are nonetheless entertaining. Arnold Vosloo is great as Imhotep, ably conveying a sense of menace and tortured romance. A small bit part of a retired RAF Col., Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay from Bewitched) is funny and charming when he talks about not going down in a blaze of glory like his comrades. The effects and action sequences are top-notch, the mummy effects being brilliantly done by ILM. Jerry Goldsmith delivers a great swashbuckling score that also manages to deliver, like Imhotep, a sense of menace.
