New York Post - Jonathan Foreman
Cheerful, slightly cheesy entertainment that uses the latest special-effects techniques to breathe life into a venerable film tradition.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased.

Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
A pretty good job of zipping things along and occasionally scaring us, and the digital effects are fun.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
There is much to look at--it's like spending two hours in Michael Jackson's Undead Neverland--but not a lot at stake.
63
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Packs so much hell-for-leather action, gorgeous Moroccan scenery and eye-popping Industrial Light and Magic visual effects into its two hours that, after a while, I began to get tired of it.
