Tagline: The sands will rise. The heavens will part. The power will be unleashed.
Plot: 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.

Action packed with some high-class special effects this is an entertaining throw-back to the old matinees with a touch of Indiana Jones thrown into the mix. Fraser makes an affable hero and there's a lot of amusing moments but it's the effects that rule the show here, and boy are they a doozy.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
The acting and characters are all overly broad, but that suits the movie's tone perfectly. The Mummy is focused on being a summer popcorn flick, not on being a classic, and it suceeds.  --Jack Witzig
