Without being an outstanding film this is watchable and extremely enjoyable. It has great action scenes and a few good one liners. It is a no brainer film where you can turn off your mind and just get entertained.
The special effects are great and Rachel Weisz will keep all you blokes entertained for a couple of hours !
Great film. Would reccomend to all. Adventurous and funny too in places.Cant wait too get The Mummy 2 and see The Mummy 3. My kids enjoy the film too as it is a good family film as well as adult film.
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.
The Mummy is a fun film, a bit silly in places but great to watch on a Saturday night with a take away and a few drinks. It'll never be a "classic" but definately worth a watch.
The transition onto HD DVD format has been a good one for this film, although not a mind-blowing experience, owing to the date of the original film. They did their best to give you the HD experience with the tools available to them. It's says the movie is 'Uncut', but don't expect any more footage that the original DVD, as its the same. If you enjoyed the film first time round, you certainly will love it in high definition. As you can see a lot more detailing and the colour is very vibrant...making the characters and ornaments on shelves want to jump out of your television and into your own living room.
This film is one of my favourites, its very easy to watch and is a lot of fun. There is romance, humour and action. Basically a Mummy comes back from the dead and the good guys have to kill him before he takes over and destroys the world. This film is worth watching for John Hannah's one liners alone.
THE MUMMY SERIES ARE THE BEST THING SINCE INDIANA JONES..GREAT.THE MUMMY, THE MUMMY RETURNS AND THE SCORPION KING ARE ADVENTURES THAT CAN BE WATCHED OVER AGAIN..
good action film.fast paced keeps you entertained right to the end of the film. good hero villain concept and rachel weiss is hot. excellent special effects
I used to watch it when i was younger, but for a couple of years a hadnt seen it, so when i saw it for such a good price, i couldnt resist. i love the film, great storyline and all that. The only thing is that its a bit cheesy, which in a small way, makes it quite funny.
Deep in the Egyptian desert, a handful of people searching for a long-lost treasure have just unearth a 3,000 year old legacy of terror. Combining the thrills of a rousing adventure with the suspense of Universal's legendary 1932 horror classic, The Mummy, starring Brendan Fraser, is a true non-stop action epic, filled with dazzling visual effects, top-notch talent and superb storytelling.
A really enjoyable film, good cast, and great effects. Some younger viewers, may need to watch behind a cushion!
This film is perfect for when you don't know what to watch. It's not a classic and will never win awards for the acting performance but that's not the point. The Mummy is about family friendly comedy, love and friendships, and the undead. Definately one of my favourite DVDs and one that is inherantly watchable again and again.
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.
