Do you know how you can tell that The Mummy, with Brendan Fraser, is a terrible movie?
We were fifteen minutes into it before we realized that we were actually watching its sequel, The Mummy Returns.
(Which is also a terrible movie, but we took it out and watched The Mummy instead on the basis that at least The Mummy does not have an overly cute kid, whatever its other multiple defects.)
It is, I admit, entirely possible that we might have noticed this sooner had we not had various complaints about the armour, the set direction, the portrayal of Egyptian religion, and the horrific CGI. Or perhaps not.
