CGI doesn’t hold up in a few cases, but the film is still a fun watch!
Great, fun action film.

Dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell stumbles upon the hidden ruins of Hamunaptra while in the midst of a battle to claim the area in 1920s Egypt. It has been over three thousand years since former High Priest Imhotep suffered a fate worse than death as a punishment for a forbidden love—along with a curse that guarantees eternal doom upon the world if he is ever awoken.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A swashbuckling adventure that treats ancient curses and mummy awakenings with infectious humor and genuine warmth. It's the kind of film that wants you grinning as much as gasping, delivering thrills wrapped in charm and witty banter.
