   The original Boris Karloff movie is great and the story is awesome, but the pacing is very slow having been made in 1932. It was a true horror movie and, like other horror films of the time, there isn't much room for action or comedy. The 1959 movie, having been a Hammer film, shows its roots with the style of the time.

   Is 'the mummy' a bad movie?

   • It did better overseas where its star, Tom Cruise, is more popular. So the studio Universal has announced plans to make more like it, which is scarier than anything in the movie itself. "The Mummy" isn't bad because it misses its marks. It's everything its studio wanted it to be.

   Was 'the mummy' a good movie?

   • “The Mummy” is a movie like that. 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.

   Was 'the mummy' a success or a failure?

   • No one at Universal Studios predicted that Stephen Sommers' remake of 1932's "The Mummy" would become a smashing success at the box office and an enduring action-adventure classic. Boris Karloff starred in the original film, which doesn't share much with its modern remake. For starters, no one is consumed by a giant wall of sand.

   Is 'the mummy' a comedy-horror 'hokum' flick?

   • While it seems impossible now to imagine "The Mummy" as anything other than a comedy-horror "hokum" flick, that's not how the film was initially planned. "The Mummy" went through over nine years of development, multiple scripts, and several different directors before being turned over to the hands of Stephen Sommers.

   Was 'the Mummy' based on a true story?

   • As much as "The Mummy" is clearly a work of fiction, Imhotep was not a creation of Stephen Sommers or the other two writers who worked on the film, Lloyd Fonvielle and Kevin Jarre. In the 1932 version of "The Mummy," Boris Karloff is also Imhotep and similarly searches for a modern-day reincarnation of his lost love, Ankh-esen-amun.
