Review of The Mummy (1999) by Bill C — 04 Jul 2018
A dated adventure that does not hold up.
Terrible overacting and a bare bones script leave you wanting more from The Mummy (1999). It is a fun action adventure movie is you can handle how stupid characters act. There are some nice set pieces, costumes, and practical effects; however, the CGI is beyond dated and the acting is so bad.
I cannot believe I liked this movie as a kid. It was scary and entertaining back then. Now, I find The Mummy a tedious mess. Too long, too slow, too melodramatic, and too underwritten.
The Mummy is a hard pass from me.
