A review by Gimly

7.0

Written by Gimly on June 21, 2017

Trying to cram action, adventure, fantasy, romance, comedy and horror into a single should not have worked, especially not in a Universal Monsters reboot, but 1999's The Mummy is so much damn fun, that they manage to pull it off with aplomb.

Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time.
