Retro Review: The Mummy's Curse

Image
Synopsis Two museum archaeologists arrive at a swamp 25 years after the events of the previous film, The Mummy's Ghost , looking for the mummy's remains. The swamp is being drained, and the archaeologists would like to take ownership of the mummy. But, as bad luck would have it, the mummy is still undead, and chaos ensues. Review The film is similar to not only the previous film , but also to the film prior to that , The Mummy's Tomb . I liked The Mummy's Tomb , but disliked The Mummy's Ghost . The small differences between each made a lot of difference in my enjoyment or lack thereof. And in the case of this film, I enjoyed it. Sure, it's mostly a repeat, but it moves along at a quick pace and there's some good acting and action. On the downside, there's a rather offensive stereotype in the film as well, and every time this character opened his mouth I both laughed and cringed. If  you watch the film, you'll know who I'm talking about.
