The Mummy

Movie: The Mummy

Main Actors: Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz

MPAA Rating: PG-13

Passionate Expressions: There is some of this

Useless Vulgar Language: There is some of that

Sex in a Good Light: Nothing to speak of

Sex in a Bad Light: Considering that the whole point of the movie was to contain an evil that existed because of infidelity which led to murder, yes, there is some of this. A good deal of “why does she even have anything on at all” scenes, fortunately there were mostly contained in the beginning and there is a narrator so you don’t have watch something that is there to make your mind wonder.

Manly Violence: A good deal of this violence with that special Brendan Fraser flair

Action Violence: Yes, there is a lot of this as well, it is a world destruction movie after all

Pointless Violence: None of this

Manly Rating: B+

Food to Watch With: A Big Mac cause it just feels right

Plot Synopsis: Evil Egyptian Magician comes back from the dead as a mummy and tries to take over the world and Brendan Fraser's girlfriend

Review: Let me preface this by saying that I was young when I first saw this movie and I had a crush on Rachel Weisz so I thought it was the “greatest movie ever made”. I have since downgraded that rating to “one of the greatest movies ever made”. Sure, there is no amazing acting and I don’t think that anyone who ever watched it cried. There were no Oscars awarded and I don't doubt if you ask kids today about it they would have no idea what you were talking about. But……that was not what this movie was intended to be. Not all movies try to be the year's best films, sometimes they just try to be exactly what they are. And in this case it was an Indiana Jonesish action-comedy/romantic comedy that could be viewed as silly or awesome depending on your age or maturity. I mean, come on, it's Brendan Fraser and he’s killing mummies.

Life Lessons: It takes all of ancient Egypt’s dark magic to condemn the world to darkness, but it only takes one American with a six shooter to make things right.

Summary: Great movie that is fun for most of the family (it is a PG-13 film)

Would I Watch This Again: absolutely
