I thought Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have wonderful chemistry. The supporting actors, John Hannah, Oded Fehr, also do a wonderful job, especially Kevin J O'Connor as the rat Beni. Arnold Vosloo was also well cast as Imhotep. It was never meant to be an Oscar winner. It was meant to be a fun movie, and I can honestly say I had fun watching it. A guilty pleasure I suppose.
i've always liked vosloo - i thought he was the only thing that movie had going for it ..

i didnt find there was any chemistry at all with the other leads with was my biggest problem with the movie ..
fraser can be good .. but as a support - not a lead.. he just doesnt have the charisma. I want to like him but he just doesnt have the edge .. he's sort of a poor mans tim robbins.

i just found it to be another film where they attempted 95% action throughout the film, frantically paced so there was no developement of the characters .. just action and reaction ..
