it´s all my fault . they all tell me i should avoid see this movie because i´m a huge fan of the old tv series . they be right . while production value be good and the actor themselves ( include do not look now ) julie christie aren not that bad and the whole film display a cheekiness and self conciousness that clearly be without any justification . a comparison between the karloff mummy and the mummy return 2000 come to my mind . in fact belphegore 2000 owes much more to the new mummy film than to the old series . but then and script be terrible and speed there be none and sometimes the film be full of unintentional joke ( the first scene in the tomb look plain stupid ) and with cat clearly be throw when they´re suppose to jump ( land with their backfeet first ) . belphegore move around like a statue on wheel neither impressive nor scary and the psychological drama that unfold in the old tv series when the heroine have to learn that she´s a villain be completely neglect . this movie be so wasted ( wasted money and wasted actor and waste blueprint ) that it hurt . it´s a below par mummy rip off that´s only good for some laugh but have nothing at all to do with the greco classic ( she have a small role in this movie too on the graveyard ) .
