You know what? I liked it (and I didn't think I would).

I didn't see all of this movie until recently-- only snatches. When it originally came out in the theaters in 1999, it looked like a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" rip-off and the reviews were bad. Then, as now, I considered "Raiders" to be the closest thing to a perfect movie there would ever be, so I wasn't about to entertain lesser imitators. 11 years later, having let down my guard a bit, I have to say The Mummy was an awesomely good time. Brendan Fraser is a sweet hero. There's an openness about his Rick that you don't usually see in action leads. Rachel Weisz is perfect as the plucky, klutzy smart girl, in classic movie actress fashion. There's a lot of humor, which I believe is the only way to make an action movie click. I'm sorry I was such a snob. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
In the DVD extras, please don't miss the behind the scenes look at the battle between the mummy army and Rick as he saves Evelyn. The chorography involved in the scene is amazing, since there is no one there for Brendan Fraser to play against. It's an unbelievable solo dance that worked perfectly once the CG monsters were added later. You just have to see it to understand how improbably, stunningly good it is.

If you think this movie is to boring because it's history, your wrong! This movie is great with all of the action in it! The story line is good, the acting is also good.

The Mummy: the first in a series of three films, on dvd.
Added 12/4/2009
Originally, The Mummy genre was typically a horror film, but this revised version, adds, action, adventure, with a blend of light hearted drama. The result, is a satisfying, and entertaining film, in the style of the Indiana Jones films. With good visual effects, and characterizations.

Mummy Collector's Set
Added 5/5/2009
The product is just what I wanted. Although the dvd's were in shrink wrap, the cover box looked used. Overall I'm pleased because I had no plan to keep the covering.
