Uh... I'm not high right? CGI Dwayne is in the mummy returns not this film. This had no cgi at all. Just a warrior taking his place as king

One of the Rock’s first films and I personally love it. It’s not near the blockbuster he’s accustomed to now, but a fun Mummy type film.

It was ok. The Rock is new to this movie thing. Cgi is terrible, your not missing anything if you don’t see it

Poor premise and even worse than The Mummy.

Part of the beloved Mummy franchise. Not a good showing with this one. Writing and acting wasn't anything special. See it or don't.

Very corny, just watch the Mummy movies, they’re way smarter and enjoyable

A good bit of fun, but has boring characters, a generic plot, and lacks the campy fun of the first films. And no Brenden Fraser which sucks.

I loved this and I don’t even like action movies. Great fight scenes & ambiance/costuming.

Solid first movie for the Rock. I remember the action being pretty great. Don’t expect Oscar level acting. Story is okay.
