'The Mummy' is a film that I've taken way too long to see. I've known of these films for ages, in fact I think I (illogically) watched the third film when I was a kid. This first entry is very good. I haven't got much to note other than the fact that there's plenty to enjoy, it's a fun two hours.
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are a sturdy onscreen pairing, both give praiseworthy performances. I wasn't overly keen on the characters of John Hannah and Kevin J. O'Connor, neither hamper enjoyment mind. Oded Fehr (wanted to see more of him) and Omid Djalili are pluses though.
The special effects haven't aged the most gracefully, though for 1999 I guess there aren't too bad - and again, like Hannah & O'Connor, it didn't affect me whilst watching, it's just noticeable that's all. That's the only noteworthy drawback that I have for this, it's entertaining all in all.
