Bram Stoker's The Mummy Reviews
THIS BRAM STOKER MOVIE DELIVERS...........
BRAM STOKER'S THE MUMMY delivers much more than any other MUMMY movie released. The 1999 MUMMY movie had excellent special effects, but over all the movie's plot stunk skunks to death. Starring Academy Award winner Louis Gossett, Jr. (JAWS III) and a very strong cast. The acting is straight, never stupid. I did minus one star for having a very slow begining, but heck once you got into it, say a half an hour in the movie began to role. Based upon the novel THE JEWEL OF SEVEN STARS by BRAM STOKER.
MUMMY NEEDS A MAKEOVER
Lou Gossett, Jr.----didn't he win an Academy award for OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN? Hmmm...think of F. Murray Abraham, Ben Kingsley, and others who after winning their awards ended up second bananas in rather trifling movies. Lou joins the lot, and overacts so badly, he should really be ashamed of himself. But, he's not the only bad thing in this movie. Based on a Bram Stoker story, this version is handsomely mounted, but at times is so confusing, one never really knows what's going on. Eric Lutes is an engaging hero, but sometimes he looks like he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing; Amy Locane is luscious, but doesn't possess the range to go from the darling daughter to the vindictive mummy; Mark Lindsay Chapman who used to claim "Dallas" as his home, is laughably agreeable as the private investigator who gets bugged to death. Lloyd Bochner is wasted in his small role, and the whole movie seems thrown together, rather than orchestrated. Not a truly bad movie, but not a truly good one, either.
