The Mummy (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) Reviews:
The Mummy 
2009-11-21 - The Mummy (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition)This movie came to me in excellent condition with no marks on the box and the disks were in excellent shape. The shipping time was short.
NOT WHAT I EXPECTED 
2009-11-05 - IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT I SAW ON THIS MOVIE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE OLDER MOVIES OF THE MUMMY THAT HELD YOUR INTERST. THIS MOVIE WAS ENTIRELY TOO DULL.
Death Is Only The Beginning
2009-10-21 - Another favorite franchise of mine, the movies just never fail to deliver. In this, probably the "scariest" out of the three, we have the prologue that explains Imhotep's backstory and motivations then jump to Brendan Fraser's (another favorite actor of mine) character with the French Foreign Legion defending the City of the Dead in 1923 then jump another three years where we're introduced to Rachel Weisz's character and the rest of the story. A remake, and I use the term loosely, of the 1932 classic, so some story elements remain the same. Imhotep however gets an upgrade. From a walking corpse to his fully regenerated self, he possesses super-human abilities and can summon the ten plagues of Egypt. Fraser and Weisz have a chemistry together reminiscent, I think anyway, of Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg of The Avengers. John Hannah as Weisz's greedy brother Jonathan and Kevin J. O'Connor as Beni, O'Connell's cowardly "friend" are the comic relief in this but are nonetheless entertaining. Arnold Vosloo is great as Imhotep, ably conveying a sense of menace and tortured romance. A small bit part of a retired RAF Col., Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay from Bewitched) is funny and charming when he talks about not going down in a blaze of glory like his comrades. The effects and action sequences are top-notch, the mummy effects being brilliantly done by ILM. Jerry Goldsmith delivers a great swashbuckling score that also manages to deliver, like Imhotep, a sense of menace.
An excellent Action film!!!!
2009-07-02 - Steven Sommers....ahhhh!!! He IS one of my favorite action directors/writers to date!!! This is the first of a 2-3 part series of this particular kind of action film.
The MUMMY is such a great film, that you will want to watch the next part in the series right away!!! THE MUMMY RETURNS is the next movie, and also a must-see!!! The 3rd part considered is: THE SCORPION KING (Excellent, ACTION-Packed, and Full of fun!!!!). This film: THE MUMMY is the best of the 2-3 parts. Sommers has an incredible immagination for these kinds of movies!!!(treasure hunting, action, adventure, what more could you want in such a film??!!!!). His other film, VAN HELSING is one of the best action movies of all time!!!!!!!!(ACTION-PACKED 'till the very end!!!!!!!!!!!) **At least in my opinion**
Rachel Weisz is a "PRRRRRRR"-if ya' know what i mean??!! She was a pURRfect cast for this flick, and Brendan Fraser is also great in this movie!!! I have watched this movie over and over again soooo many times...i (just) never get bored of it!!!!! So, without further adieu, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE buy this movie on dvd; you WON'T be disappointed!!!
**Cross your fingers, and hope along with me-that Steven Sommers WILL, in fact, make many, many, many more action movies for his time as a director and/or a writer*** THANX!!!! $
the mummy
2009-05-03 - What I like most about this movie is its a movie the whole family enjoys.
It has lots of action, alittle romance and some good comic relief. Our house hold ranges from 11-59 years old and we love to watch this movie on our family movie night.The Mummy starts out with its background story which draws you in and just keeps building through out. It's one of those movies you can't wait to see how it all ends.
