The Mummy is a rousing, suspenseful and horrifying epic about an expedition of treasure-seeking explorers in the Sahara Desert in 1925. Stumbling upon an ancient tomb, the hunters unwittingly set loose a 3,000-year-old legacy of terror, which is embodied in the vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest who had been sentenced to an eternity as one of the living dead.

It's difficult to make a persuasive argument for The Mummy as any kind of meaningful cinematic achievement, but it's undeniably fun to watch.

The film was released on May 7, 1999. This film is directed by Steven Sommers. The success of the film spawned two direct sequels: "The Mummy Returns" (2001) and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" (2008). The genre of the film is an action adventure. It has it all: ancient curses, an embalmed high priest, two warring parties searching for archaeological treasures, and dashing legionnaire Brendan Fraser, in love with prim librarian Rachel Weisz. "The Mummy" is an exciting, thrilling and terrifying epic about an expedition of explorers in search of treasures in the Sahara Desert in 1925. Having stumbled upon an ancient tomb, hunters unwittingly release a 3,000-year-old legacy of horror embodied in the vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest who was killed. condemned to eternity as one of the living dead. The acting is very good. Starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hanna and Arnold Voslu. The special effects are very good and harmonious. I really liked the film, it's not boring and has an interesting script. Not a bad storyline. I advise you to take a look.

There's no excuse for critics giving this a mediocre rating, and even audience rating at 75% is too low and unacceptable

Far more ambitious than its predecessors but a notch or two below the unique event-movie experience it might have been.

Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, The Mummy would like to make you shudder, but it tries to do so without ever letting go of its jocular inconsequentiality.

It's all here: ancient curses, an embalmed high priest, two rival parties searching for archaeological treasure and dashing legionnaire Brendan Fraser romancing prim librarian Rachel Weisz.

... plenty of 1930s style, humor, and attitude (including a decidedly dated sense of cultural sensitivity), more Indiana Jones than Gothic horror.

Gone With The Twins

Despite a few grisly concepts (obscured by PG-13 constraints), the mostly ineffective stabs at humor continue, rather incessantly, to drown out the action and horror.
