Watch Tale of the Mummy For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Just perfect...

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating on IMDb. It has a stellar cast (with a bit of an annoying bait and switch), it has an interesting story, characters that are actually developed and it is a UK coproduction, so you know it is better than a normal US movie from the start.The film starts with an Egyptian dig (how else) where the likes of Christopher Lee are excavating the mysterious burial place of Talos, the cursed Greek who came to Egypt and learned forbidden magic. Then Lee dies. Several years later, his niece comes to check the dig out, accompanied by the likes of Gerard Butler and Sean Pertwee. Butler dies immediately and Pertwee continues to appear randomly as a slightly insane person. This is annoying if you started to watch the movie because of the cast, but I didn't so it didn't bother me.Present time, stuff happens and two detectives, played by none others than Jason Scott Lee and Jack Davenport, need to investigate. Add to this the two British hotties Louise Lombard and Lysette Anthony and the movie is interesting on that alone.The film lasts for almost two hours, which is a bit too long for the level of tension that the movie manages to maintain, but in no way is it a bad story. While the reasoning of the Talos mummy are not revealed until the end and seem stupid, they become believable at the end with the extra information.Bottom line: a TV movie that appeared a year before The Mummy. If you take the special effects (which were not bad, but certainly were cheap in Talos) out of the equation, the only possible reason why The Mummy would be better is Arnold Vosloo and a slightly more fleshed out (pardon the pun) character for the mummy. While not really a horror film, it is a good paranormal thriller, even with the silly twist at the end.

this is one of the worst films that i have had the misfortune to see,apparently the film is only 119 minutes long, I'm sure that i must have seen an extended version because it seemed to last at least 5 hours!it also had some of the more cheesier moments that i have seen in film, which is evidence of a director having the budget to use some cgi but really shouldn't as they don't know how to use it to its full effect and just ends up looking terrible. Sorry that i haven't mentioned anything about the actual storyline but as far as i could tell there wasn't much to start with! anyway I've had my rant, hope this was useful in warning you not too watch this film!

This movie was a waste of the 88 minutes that it lasted. It was full of poor acting, poor special effects, and a plot that could potentially have been good, but was not delivered well. So, this movie was not good, but could have been good with the right cast and director. Unfortunately, much of the movie was not believable as a result of the way that things were portrayed by special effects, etc. Also, the tagline states that "The curse is legend. The terror is real." There was a curse that was legend (and in my opinion, should have stayed a legend), but there was no terror. This movie did not really make much sense, mainly because their was not much explanation of what was going on (especially at the end). Overall, I would give this movie a 2 out of 10.

my girlfriend and I were put into the cinema by a sudden rain, so decided to see a movie. For some reason, she decided to see this 6 years old mummy movie.How bad was the idea!The movie is horrible.. italian dubbing is convincing for some characters, and just at amateur-level for some others, and I don't think that the original version would have been much better.Most of actors surely didn't play their best performance here.The plot is that kind of story in which you always understand before what will happen in the next 5 minutes, except for the ending, which was the best part in my opinion (expcept for the ridiculous 5 last seconds).Effects are rather ridiculous in the first part, then they are good, but the floating toilet paper idea which should represent the mummy, though well realized, is still some toilet paper floating, in the end..Music was just absent during most of the movie, and decent in the end.I've seen the 88 minutes version, but I don't really think that the 120 minutes one would be better: there would be just 34 minutes more to laugh at, given that you want to laugh at an horror movie.Good to see if you are into a "let my girlfriend have some laughs at least" mood.Oh well.. just skip this one..
