The Mummy (1999)
7/10
Death is only the beginning
8 January 2024
The remake of the 1932 film. It retells the story of The High Priest Imhotep and how after Murdering the Pharoah and the death of his Lover is cursed for all entirely until a group of treasure Hunter uncover his tomb and, in the process, accidentally resurrect him and now must stop him from ruling the world. The film was, without doubt, a huge departure from the original going for more of an Indiana Jones action-adventure tone with a hint of horror, romance, and comedic elements. All and All creating a very enjoyable film it a well-paced despite being 2hrs building up to the grand moment when you finally get the mummy you get some moments getting to know the characters who do leave a memorable impact. Braden Frazer combines the right amount of charm. Rachel Weisz has a very snarky personality doesn't take crap or play games from John Hannah with anyone and is very serious when it comes to her work, but she has a cute personality. And she and Brden play well off one another. The biggest Highlight of The Mummy is The Mummy Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep makes for an enjoyable villain to say the least. While not as Iconic as Frankenstein Boris Karloff is memorable for his performance speaking in this very soft-spoken voice. While not Physically imposing he had a presence to him. Vosloo is more imposing from the moment you see him as a corpse he has super strength, releases plagues of locusts, and can control Sandstorms.
