Day of the Mummy (2014)

People are voting emotionally.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Many amateur film-makers strive for a professional feel, and some succeed. This is a professional effort that strives for an amateur feel, or that is the way it comes over. It includes one A List actor, albeit an ageing one, Danny Glover, who although sitting in a hotel room thousands of miles away is directing the action through an earpiece and some high tech glasses which are worn by a rogue archaeologist who can't keep it inside his trousers, and would you believe he can even score in a jaunt out into the Egyptian desert?Jack and the rest of the team are searching for the tomb of a mythical king, although it appears he is not so mythical because the last bloke who went in search of him found the tomb, and more than he bargained for. The big question is will the same fate befall all or some of this band of miscreants? When it starts, the action is quite good, but much of the film is spent walking around in dark tunnels. There are a couple of genuinely scary moments, but if your experience of Egyptian mummies is Boris Karloff or Christopher Lee, this will add a new dimension to them.

Wondrous science fiction/fantasy adventure centering on the return of an Egyptian king from the land of the dead. Imaginatively directed by Johnny Tabor and highlighted by startling special effects, the thrills never let up as an American archaeologist encounters something so horrific that it's beyond belief. Screen writer Garry Charles penned an exciting script which isn't just jam packed with unrelenting terror but also allows the characters to be developed so they're not just the usual one dimensional figures that run through horror movies. William McNamara gives an inspired performance as Egyptologist Jack Wells and he brings intelligence and charisma to his role. The always wonderful Danny Glover does some of his finest work in years in the supporting role of Carl and it's good to see him back in form. While the film contains its share of blood and some gore, it's still an adventure story in the tradition of King Solomon's Mines and Indiana Jones, therefore suitable for most young people 13 years of age and older. Don't miss the spectacular, epic saga that awaits you on The Day of the Mummy.

What a load of Rubbish.1 hour and 20 minutes of my life I will never get back. Although as I had it on fast forward much of the time due to no dialog taking place perhaps only an hour lost.Shocking acting and lousy story line. I should have known as Danny Glover was listed. A cameo role. Seems like all these "has been" actors are nowadays giving up 15 minutes of their time to appear briefly in a "B" or "C" grade movie so they can get a cut.Don't bother with this at all.

You can see the miscasting in the opening scene, one half of a scene to setup a entire movie of cheap handy cam, point of view movie making, it was atrocious. The Mummy shows up very late in the movie, and we are never released from handy cam hell(if your on that tight of a budget, skip making a movie) or at least learn to make a movie that does not look like you made it for a boob tube channel.I kept hoping for the camera battery to go dead, unfortunately for me it held a charge to finish the 1 hour and 20 minutes of this wreck. For what he did in the movie, Glover was OK, it is just a shame to see him take work like this. Dreadful,Cheap,Cheesy. Save your money for a DVD of something watchable.
