Uggh....can anyone say 'The Mummy'....I hate made for tv rip offs of movies, it even has half the same actors from The Mummy lol. Yeah and also about that indiana jones thing, except hes like the most half-assed indiana jones ever. Everything about this mini-series is lame....and the lead actor should have stuck to starship troopers cos he can't act for *beep* when he was talking about the tablets to that class he looked like he was popping about 16 boners lol. I hate this show....get it off my tv and out my brain....

I have to agree, watching this on UK tv right now & it is utter drivel, the only thing worth watching is Casper with his top off. ( Oh dear I sound like a sex pest! lol ) King Tut battling demons for the fate of the world . .come on!!

The number of historical innacuracies in this movie hurts my head. I have a degree in Anthropology, and I find this movie to be soul-scarringly bad. Really. Someone asked me if I was sure I wasn't watching Power Rangers. Well, at times I'm not sure.

Well, Bruce, I'm sure you meant all this as the ultimate putdown, but now you've really got my curiosity (or something) aroused. Bring on the mummies!

I really don't know what your all complaining about. This was THE best thing i have EVER seen and i really can't wait for it to come out on DVD so i can watch it over and over. I mean with all the wild historical inaccuracies, the plagerised scripts and the wooden acting who couldn't love this. Anyway 2nd part on Sky One 2nite whoo!! i wonder what scripts i can listen out for?!? What shoddily animated demons will the hero's have to fight and how much farther from history can it get?!? Wait a moment i know what'll happen, you see van Dien will save the day, win the girl etc and then bury the tomb again so that Carter can find it!!

What ever happened to just enjoying a film?? It's called FICTION - i.e, not acutal events! And as for ripping of Indiana Jones - give me a break!! Every film that's been made since the Indy films that even slightly resembles this kind of genre is going to be slated as a rip off. I mean, apart from the hat, he's a completely different character - or did you not notice that when you were scribbling down your critisms?!

Its more synthesis of "The Mummy" with "Indiana Jones" , combined with a dose of sappy hallmark gooeyness.

Though I did watch it, on DVD wiht my brither, after havign seen antoehr "the evil Set/Sehkmet is released" story, fromt he 1970's, entitled "Doctor Who: The Pyramid Of Mars".

Int hat oen Set is Sehkmet, an evil Alein, formta race known as the Osirians, who has been trapped on earth, and seeks ot be released. Oddly, I coudlnt help but smile and ownder how Set got the power to attemtopt o be free, since he was trapped in at time/space protal by the Doctor in 1911, this filmn wa sse tin soemtime int he 1920's.
