Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

First of all, I would like to start this by saying I am a big fan of Casper Van Dien. Ever since Starship Troopers, I kept an eye on him and his work. This is to explain why I saw this movie, him and the fact that I'm a huge horror fan. OK, lets dig in:For a Hallmark production, it's rather hard to do worse than this. From the camera work that relies solely on cut scenes and fade to black, to horrible special effects, some of which inspired Birdemic, to a plot that helped gave life to Asylum productions and over the top acting coming from Jonathan Hyde, everything falls either in laughter or in cringe here.The first 5 minutes are enough for anyone to make an impression of what will come after. CGI as low as they get, no ration whatsoever, worst decisions taken throughout the film, forced humor and a bad mix of either heart warming emotions or plain ol' cruelty. A mix that didn't work, so a lot of face palming will be required in order to see it completely. There are 2 endings to this movie, one about the action and one about the aftermath. Don't know which one is worse, a battle that made almost no sense and then closure that seemed as forced as it could be. I was surprised to see that after more than an hour, a To Be Continued appeared, cause it actually got green lighted for 2 parts. Cheers!

The film starts thousands years ago,under sands of ancient Egypt. The pharaoh Tutankamen rules, few know the events about his life.Tuthankamen really was son from King Amenophis IV and Qeen Nefertiti and he died violently.In the movie he appears fighting evil forces. The king was buried and his tomb eternally curses so that no man would ever again suffer from his evil ways. But thousands years later on a greedy search of Tut's treasure a group of archaeologist break the curse seal the tomb. A crakerjack adventurer(Casper Van Dien,Space troopers)is an adventurer wishes to find King Tut's tablet that would rule the world. But his nemesis Sinclair(Jonathan Hyde,Titanic) along with a secret society(Malcolm McDowell,Clockwork orange and Simon Callow,Room with a view)also want it and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Fremont is helped by a beautiful archaeologist(Leonor Varela,Cleopatra) and a trio friends(Steve Waddington,The last Mohican,among others). They venture into Valley of the Kings where find the Tut's tomb and the curse come out and once again unleashes the savage power.This TV picture is a crossover of Egyptian fantasy:¨Mummy,King Scorpion¨(Stephen Sommers) and adventures and clothes from¨Indiana Jones¨(Spielberg). This is a cheesy fun in the Saturday matinée tradition with excessive and mediocre special effects. The movie contains lots of mummies, skeletons, wizards, as well as spooky tombs. The motion picture is regularly directed by Russell Mulcahy(Razorback,Highlander,Resurrection)who made a similar story about Egyptian curse titled¨Tale of mummy¨. Rating : Average but with some moment entertaining.

This is a B-movie, in all its glory, a ripoff of both Indiana Jones AND The Mummy. The dialogue? Horrible. The plot? Even more so. The special effects? Not to be believed. But that's what made it fun to watch. Just for the sake of a good laugh. It's obvious where the characterizations were pulled from (the studly archaeologist/treasure hunter, the studious librarian, etc) and the storyline was cliché as they come. The opening lines between the hero and the villain were cheesy to the max. And of course, the history- well, it wasn't. It was whatever the film makers picked up from other action/adventure stories, or just thought would be cool to throw in. The only people who'd claim this was an actually good film would be eight-year-olds going through a "Indiana Jones" phase. So if you're in the mood for some light entertainment (or want to get your kids out of your hair for a few hours) rent this.

Let's see, get a lot of neat sets and locations together, mix in lots of special effects and costumed extras, ditch the script and just tack it together, and finally completely forget about any real acting attempt and you have this uh, movie.The Danny Freemont character tries so hard to fill Indiana Jones' shoes that it basically ruins the whole movie, since Freemont could never be Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and everyone watching is painfully aware of this to the point of frustration.So then there is this Morgan Sinclaire character who goes about literally sucking up friends and enemies like some mad dust-buster (for what reason is unknown) and you would expect this personified evil to finally get what for, but what happens? He himself gets unceremoniously vacuumed up, and thus there goes the villain, sigh, whoopee.Oh you will just love the good against evil fan-dance of flapping wings - what a dismal finale.Best line of the this disaster - "I wish we could all forget"; you said it lady! Unfortunately they didn't forget to produce this wash out.
