darkphoenix, You're right. Buried alive. No matter how much they hated him and what he had done, setting up a scenario where he could return as an evil power wasn't the act of sane, reasonable men. Of course, they were probably thinking that if he did come back, it wouldn't be THEIR problem. Nice scarabs. The jewel-blue ones were very pretty. It was also a neat twist having an emblem of eternal life be turned into a means of eternal death. Most of the sets looked pretty good. The clothing wasn't anything close to true, but the furnishings felt right, and the traps and pitfalls resemble those in real tombs. The first Mummy movie was the best of the three by this director. He needs to recapture that wacky innocence and playfulness. There are plenty of action movies, and plenty of special effescts movies, but so few fun movies. Carolly
