In 1999, Stephen Sommers wrote and directed the smash hit "The Mummy", starring Brendon Frazer, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosloo as the Mummy. I was a big fan of the first Mummy film, and thought the 2nd one simply lost the plot. The first film had everything one would want from a film of this type, humour, action, special effects, romance and a little terror. The film was a huge box office hit grossing well over $415 million, and lead to a sequel and a third film penned to be released some time next year. I am usually always a huge fan of these films, they have a lot of history plot, treasure and some gorgeous looking women, what more can you ask for.
The Plot:
The film starts of with a flashback into the Ancient Egyptian world. The year is 1290 BC; the high priest of Egypt Imhotep is having a secret affair with the Pharaohs ...

The Mummy for me became a hit from the time it was showing in cinemas, which is also where I first saw it. I've seen it since, couple of times on television. Truth is, in the last few months or so, I saw the latest movie to be released, which is the third of the series that the Mummy has become. I started recently to write a review on that movie, then realised I should probably review the first two, first. I can never remember enough of films I saw years back to review them from memory. So when The Mummy came on television, I took the chance to review it.
Story
Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) is a clumsy librarian. When her brother, Jonathon opens up an ancient Egyptian tomb from the library and discovers an unusual, star shaped item inside it, the two of them decide to investigate. They are introduced to Rick O ...

actor. I?ve never seen any of the other major cast members before, but they all did a reasonably good job.
It was nice to get away from Imhotep as well. Despite the fact I loved the first two movies, I think regenerating Imhotep would have been a step too far, and having any other Egyptian mummies rising from the dead would have been the same old, same old.
The special effects were good, except for the yeti which looked totally naff. The fight scene more than made up for it, it?s amazing how much personality can be put into a CGI character. The soundtrack as normal went right past me; I don?t recall any scores that really stood out during the film.
There are only two extras on the DVD; Deleted and Extended Scenes and a feature commentary with the director Rob Cohen.
I know a lot of people didn?t like it, but I loved it and would ...
The original, and by far the best film version of the mummy legend. Archeologists digging in Egypt uncover a 3000-year-old mummy which comes to life and attempts to restore life to its beloved princess. As he extends his influence over a lovely young woman, she begins to recall her past life, and be tempted by it. Thanks to director Karl Freund and an understated performance by horror legend Boris Karloff, THE MUMMY is a dreamlike masterpiece.
