May 25, 20139This was an amazing film. With a mixture of indiana jones, humor, horror, great storyline, great setting, music, and superb acting from Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and Arnold Vosloo, you have got a great summer horror-adventure film.
-
Mar 30, 20139An exceptionally thrilling adventure stocked full of action and laughs. One of the few widely known movies to showcase the eastern part of the world in such a lively entertaining way.
-
Mar 30, 20138Easily one of the most likeable/enjoyable movies you will ever see. It's really hard to say anything bad about it. Good action, Solid acting, Fraser and Weisz work wonders together. Just a really good movie.

Mar 12, 20138Nowadays is very hard to find a good adventure movie like this. This is one of the first scary movies i watched as a kid. My score for "The mummy" is 8/10

Mar 9, 20137I really like the mummy movies and maybe that's just because I'm fascinated with Ancient Egypt but whatever. This movie is a great adventure/action film. Disregard the whole thing where people are comparing this to Indiana Jones, I don't like to compare movies when I watch them unless they're a parody. To me these movies have their own identity and this movie is just great, go see it.

Feb 25, 20139The Mummy is a classic adventure movie. The ancient Egyptian curse theme is compelling and the film is well paced. The cast is likable and there are more than enough decent action scenes to entertain. The Mummy is a superior blockbuster for the whole family.

Jan 31, 20138A great movie that reminds me of 'Indiana Jones' fantasy this time.

Nov 12, 20127I can say nothing for the acting, directing, writing, or anything for that matter. What I can say is that I enjoyed it. I still can't figure out why, but I enjoyed it.
-
Apr 2, 20126The movie is kind of movie when you have nothing else to do. It satisfies the feeling of needing to do something but leaves your mind 2 minutes after it is over.
-
Jan 24, 20127Its a good movie. The cast is fine, solid action, and it was interesting. The film has that "It" factor (cant really describe why its so good, it just is) and I enjoyed watching it.

Sep 27, 20117"The Mummy" is a movie trying hard to be like the Indiana Jones franchise but turns out to be better than the average summer blockbuster.

Jun 11, 201110This movie is AMAZING!!!! It is very fast paced with a lot of action, comedy & pretty decent special effects too! It is very entertaining & extremely enjoyable.
-
May 13, 20117Better than you would think, this movie delivers a good, if predictable time. Weisz shines as a star and delivers a movie saving performace. Good Character development and good acting take what was likely to be a dull, average, forgettable movie and turn it into a solidly entertaining work.
-
May 8, 20118i think then this remake is very good, maybe the fault of this movie is the parts of the comedy, but the special effects and some acting are so good . the story is strong and the music is ok, 120 minutes of god action
-
Feb 15, 20119This movie is the first of three and the best in the series, it has a great plot, enjoyable character, and drama and humor, a movie I would recommend seeing.
-
Dec 10, 20108'The Mummy' has the jokes, the action, and the chills along with the sneaky little educational references here and there that serve a refreshing mummy film ****
-
Nov 2, 20108its like Indiana Jones except it doesn't have Harrison Ford in hit. my opinion: very entertaining.

AndrewBJan 12, 20098A thoroughly enjoyable film that is nothing more than what it tries to be-Entertainment. Don't go into this film expecting a great story that will cause you to think of life in a different way; watch it for the impossible adventure, witty dialogue, and just dumb fun.

samFJul 20, 20089I can't understand how this got so low from the critics. This movie is alot of fun, i guess people spend time trying to compare it to something? I just enjoyed the movie the sequel is also amazing and i can't wait for the new one.

JaredC.Aug 1, 200710It is so amazing, a bit corny but its a huge funfest of a time, every second is interesting or either appealing. Its the year's best film.

DavidDJan 5, 20064Oh my god, what a bad "indiana Jones wanna be". Actually some of it was ok but i hated the "good guys". I have never wanted the "bad" guys to win more then this movie. With all that power, why didnt the mummy just kick some serious butt at the end? who knows.

ColeL.Nov 22, 20013A movie with lots of action sequences for no reason. This audatious film was poorly exacuted and randomly done.

MattJ.Sep 16, 200110It's not only action packed and funny, it's almost accurate in its historical information.

BrianD.Feb 9, 200110Pure escapism, never a dull moment. That's entertainment!

70A pretty good job of zipping things along and occasionally scaring us, and the digital effects are fun.
-
75There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased.

20Slouches in as a weightless, instantly forgettable picture.
