Packs so much hell-for-leather action, gorgeous Moroccan scenery and eye-popping Industrial Light and Magic visual effects into its two hours that, after a while, I began to get tired of it.

Big, lavish and dumb as camel spit -- is proof that sometimes it's better to let sleeping genres lie.

Long, bombastic, and violent, but fantasy fans may enjoy its fast-moving energy.

Crudely remaking the 1932 Universal original.

Slouches in as a weightless, instantly forgettable picture.

It is an exemplary and typical American adventure film, with many clichés appearing here and there. You can get a glimpse of the misunderstandings and imaginations Americans had about Egypt at the time.

The movie is kind of movie when you have nothing else to do. It satisfies the feeling of needing to do something but leaves your mind 2 minutes after it is over.

Although it is undoubtedly a film that has become iconic in people's collective memory, The Mummy remains, in my view, analyzing it objectively, a rather mediocre product. Not in the adventure, that's great, but in the staging.
