Series went downhill from here on (0 more)
I remember going to see this in the cinema when it first came out. I also remember a warning sign up in the ticket booth about how, although the film had a PG-13 rating, it had some rather nasty scenes, particularly during the prologue.

You know, the prologue where they show Imhotep and his priests being mummified alive?

That bit.

However, this then becomes a thoroughly enjoyable action romp through Egypt, with Brendan Fraser doing his best Indiana Jones impersonation after he and Rachel Weisz (and John Hannah) accidentally manage to awaken Arnold Vosloo's Imhotep from his undead slumber.

The effects are pretty good for 1999.... though twenty years on they look pretty dated in parts.
Slightly distracting 1999 CGI at times (0 more)
Good pulpy fun
For good, pulpy, over-the-top fun, you can't beat Brendan Fraser's first Mummy film. The graphics are pretty great for being twenty years old, though at times its age becomes apparent. Don't expect too much in the way of horror, as this is solidly PG-13 fare, but if you want a good family thriller, this is the film for you.
