Review of The Mummy (1999) by Clem666 — 28 Nov 2020
A good action movie. Visuals are great even if some special effects are a bit aged. Characters are attractive, especially the best one, the heroin's brother (John Hannah) which is hilarious. I found it hard to have some empathy for the main male character because he belongs to this sort of category in which you can find so-called hardcore men who kiss passionately the lady at the end and wait for the gold to rain. Apart this guy, the whole cast is awesome, even if a bit stereotypical (yeah, I'm thinking of this greedy and fat Arabic man). It goes the same way for the only one female character of the movie, who simply can't defend herself and screams way too much.
Scenario has something of already seen but manages to be original and unexpected at some point. Unfortunately the plot ends up messy as hell. How can you explain that a mummy so powerful loses against a bunch of unarmed guys ?
Clearly full of flaws but isn't unpleasant to watch.
