There are worse films, but this is not a recommedation...It was terrible. Simply terrible. A rip off plot peppered with atrocious lines, delivered by wooden actors. Dismal SFX, appauling continuity, drivel direction...This is truely Z grade material. I wouldn't recommend this mummified muck to anyone. Boris Karloff must be spinning in his sarcophogus.

Actually, it's not that bad. You just have to see past the bad directing, which really is why this movie failed to deliver. Also, the consultants should have been fired because there weren't much they got right.
For instance, in the beginning when that, whats-his-name, Rembrandt I think, decided to blow up/out "15 tons" of sand, the explosion was, well, dismal (Like enough to move perhaps 15 kilograms of sand, whereof 50% were smoke & fire, and the other 50% was the actual explosion.
Also, the very next flaw was that all(most) all the sand was totally gone from the stairwells (which was totally intact & untouched by the way), and not only that, the pathway into the tomb was a push-forward big block of stone, which of course was, guess what - Untouched, not a moved millimeter as what the mere eye could tell, which is impossible since they were two, maybe three people seen pushing it, which something that allegedly should had moved 15 tons of sand, should have most certainly have moved that block of stone due to the immense combined weight of the sand.
I can't say that I blame the actors in any way for the outcome of the movie because it had some potential, but I think it's safe to assume that they lost interest when it came to the scene where the plot got awry in it and went super-ridiculous-natural-ish.
But hey, everyone learns something more until the next time / movie, so perhaps we can expect (For good or worse) something else from the people behind this excellent piece of crap..?
Considering that I've seen much worser movies than this, I'd give it 5 for being watchable and somewhat amusing, and for king Tut restoring the lives (As it was meant to be, bla bla bla) of the misfortune one's.

I first thing I noticed is that the men were wearing their felt hats backwards.
The tomb was not a myth; everyone knew it was there, they just didn't know where it was. Howard Carter spent four years looking for it and almost gave up. It is the only tomb that was not robbed in antiquity.
The tomb was not roomy (I have been in it), but was packed tightly was incredible amounts of stuff. They spent three years removing and cataloguing the items one by one.
Egyption hierglyths were not the first writing. It was Sumerian cuniform. Ancient history (especially Egypt, called Kemet (the black earth) by the ancient Egyptions).
I am very familar with mummification of the time; he was doing it completely wrong.
The only good part is that Casper VanDien is one of my favourite actors. Those eyes!!
