The Mummy

...old school-knytnävsslagssmål och kravlös matinéunderhållning så det räcker och blir över.

....no one handles this kind of stuff with more aplomb than Fraser. Handsome in a funny way, swaggering in a goofy way, Fraser gooses the movie with his deft comic timing.

...is actually a lot of fun, its blend of low-rent Indiana Jones-style antics, impressive special effects and inevitably chaste romance scoring high in the risible escapist nonsense department.

Brendan Fraser’s action-adventure is as lovably goofy as ever.
