The Mummy (1999, Dir. Stephen Sommers)

An English librarian called Evelyn Carnahan becomes interested in starting an archaeological dig at the ancient city of Hamunaptra. He gains the help of Rick O'Connell, after saving him from his death. What Evelyn, her brother Jonathan and Rick is unaware of if that another group of explorers are interested in the same dig. Unfortunately for everyone, this group ends up unveiling a curse which has risen the dead High Priest Imhotep. Now 'The Mummy' is awake and it's going to take a lot more than guns to send him back from where he came from.

There has been many adaptations of 'The Mummy', but none really have appeared within the new age of digital technology. What we've got here is an amazing adventure through Egypt. The special effects are very good and looks very frightening at times. Are the right actors have been chosen for the roles. You can really see a sinister side of Arnold Vosloo and can really enjoy the comic side of John Hannah. There are some amazing scenery in the film, and some wonderful jokes. It's not the great film, but is still a movie which everyone would enjoy over and over again.
