	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it (…) Look, art this isn't. Great trash, it isn't. Good trash, it is (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Its pretty silly stuff. But that's okay when you consider that, beneath all the action/adventure and horror trappings, it's actually a comedy (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Caroline Westbrook Empire	"Desert adventures. Treasures and tombs and a likeable hero in Brendan Fraser. Ignore the gaping plot holes and laughable script and you have a watchable, effects-filled romp (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"A failure in more ways than a mortal would have time to explain, this overblown parody of desert epics and mummy horror films (...) stumbles and screeches on for an interminable two hours. "	NEG
United Kingdom	Almar Haflidason BBC	"[An] all-new version [that] blends old-fashioned scares with a hefty upgrade in the special effects department (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"An aggressively eye-popping horror film"	POS
United States	Bob Graham SFGATE	"[It] digs up both laughs and chills from timeworn material."	POS
