The Mummy: An Action Fan's Must-Have

If you're a fan of action flicks like I am, this movie is a must-have. The beauty of a really good action flick is that it need not have a deep and intriguing storyline in order for it to be classified as 'good' - the story is usually just a vehicle to move the action along.
Well, the story itself might not be very plausible, it is well-written and will draw you in, despite all of the high-octane action going on- you'll also be looking to see what happens NEXT. In my opinion, this is what makes a good action film great- it isn't just the CGI or effects but the story which makes it all into one big cohesive ball of awesomeness that will make any true action fan drool. By the way, the CGI and other special effects are still spectacular, even though it is 10 years since it first came out- to me, this is the mark of a great action flick.
In closing, don't get this movie if you're an Egyptologist with a background in hieroglyphics and cryptology- you will be sorely disappointed. I did no fact checking of my own but am pretty sure they took artistic liberties with the whole Egyptian motif- but again, this is the story and it is fictional so treat it as such. Don't get this movie if you're looking for nuanced characters with sublteties of depth to be shown, that too will not occur here. The characters ARE engaging and funny at times- all of which serve to make this a really good actioner worth watching more than once, but as they are appropriate to the overall story, none of them are particularly deep, but the acting was on-point as far as I was concerned. My wife happens to love the Mummy series so you can imagine I've seen them all more than once; luckily for me, I like them too!
I hope you find this review helpful and worth reading. Good day!
