Mummy, the 99

I'm going to go ahead and assume that if you're looking at reviews on Amazon, then you already know what this movie is about and you are more interested in a review of the product itself.

This version comes with a single disc. The DVD menu is simple enough to navigate. I haven't watched the special features yet, but I see that there is a director's commentary which is always nice to see. Personally, I wasn't terribly invested in the special features.

One issue I have with the dvd is this: their is a digital copy available for download on your computer. Normally, I am used to DVDs that provide an extra disc for the digital copy but, here everything is on one disc. Now this wouldn't be a problem except that it makes it a bit counter-intuitive to figure out how to even get your digital copy. First, you have to actually open up the folder of the DVD contents in order to find a ReadMe.txt that will give you instructions on how to install the digital copy. Then, of course, it turns out that the digital copy is actually not compatible with 64-bit windows systems (Windows 7, Windows 8, sometimes Vista or XP). There's also an expiry date on the digital copy set for the end of this year but it doesn't matter since it's not compatible with my computer anyways.

As an extra result, none of the other DVD-ROM features are compatible with my computer either.

I was also a little annoyed that there was a sticker on the front of the slip cover whose adhesive was not easily removable. It left a bunch of residue on the cover but I was able to remove that by dabbing at it with painter's tape. (If you're wondering, the sticker indicated that there is a French audio option).

For those interested, you can get audio in both English and French but captions are only in English. For some reason I couldn't just switch the audio with my remote, but in the Main Menu there's a languages option if you wish to do so.

Anyway, none of these are really deciding factors for me personally but I thought I'd mention them in case someone was particularly interested in a digital copy or something.

Yep, this is one of those other misnamed films like the "Godzilla" (1998), which could have been called "Lissardus" has no relationship to "Godzilla, King of the Monsters". We could call this movie, "Mummy Dearest" no wait, that title is taken, how about "Mr. Sandman" which has no relation to, "The Mummy" (1932). Do not try to tell me that Boris Karloff and Brendan Fraser are doppelgangers.

A reviewer once asked why people keep doing dumb things. Part of the fun is saying, "stay in the car" or in this case "don't read that!" Just because this is not my favorite type of movie does not mean it was not done well for the type. There is always those that want it scarier, better graphics, and with some sort of script. I swear some one would even have Imhotep change his name to Freddie.

I would like to say something negative about this movie. But then why do I keep watching it? I think that once you get past the name thing, this is a fun movie.

Great movie. Loved the story line and the special effects were awesome. Very interesting characters, with comic relief throughtout the movie. Also, bought the next in the series.
