| Rachel Weisz plays
Evelyn, an oh-so proper British librarian researching the whereabouts
of an ancient Egyptian tomb. She hires Rick (Fraser), an Indiana
Jones-like rogue adventurer with a penchant for overcoming
insurmountable odds in extreme predicaments. Unfortunately, upon
their arrival, they unknowingly awaken an evil Mummy (Vosloo) hell
bent on finding his long lost love. When he meets Evey, he sees
an opportunity to make her his forever. But first he must
perform an ancient ritual and Rick will do everything in his power to
stop that from happening.
The film does get a little too childish on occasions, but I
appreciated the way that it poked fun at itself and entertained me
with cheesy jokes, corny romance and outrageous action sequences. "The
Mummy" is not to be taken seriously at all and if you can accept it
for what it is, a summer popcorn movie, you will have a good time. |
