I was the guy who thought the original "Mummy" movie wasn't that great, so I guess my hopes weren't very high for this. I had no idea what to expect, but what I got did little for me. I admit to not seeing most of the other films in the series, so there were probably things I missed. They still allude to the original film. The main problem is how the movie is so short. It's hard to really think of anything of this length as being significant. We do in fact get more of a traditional mummy story here. The main problem is that it's now clichéd.
I appreciate the 1932 film for having originality. This does improve on how we get to see the actual standard appearance of the mummy a lot more. A lot of these characters are pretty annoying and I think the black guy is a racial stereotype with how goofy he is. We get way too much exposition with characters just talking about stuff that we just saw or giving us backstory on something that just seems like filler. I wonder if this will be featured in the new season of "Mystery Science Theater 3000". Love to know what shorts they'd show! **
