Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Boba_Fett1138 Of course I already knew at advance that this movie would be a bad one but in a way the movie was even worse than I could had ever anticipated.Real problem with this movie is how amateur like it got made. Bad directing, bad editing, and bad camera work. It also doesn't help that the movie is very cheap looking, this lets the movie look all the more weak and ridicules.The sound also got messed up pretty bad. The one moment some of its sound effects are too loud while the other things and dialog are too soft. This is also variating and at times you can't even hear some of the characters, while the others are clearly understandable, even when they are in the same scene's at times.Also the story is just plain ridicules. I mean, an Egyptian mummy buried somewhere in the good old USA? It's just their way of saying; we want to do a mummy movie but we don't have the money or resources to go for Egypt for it or try the recreate it somewhere else. Also the way the entire story progresses results in the fact that nothing in the story just ever works really out. It makes the movie boring and real tiresome to watch. And of course the story needs to feature a couple of teenagers in the main lead but oh well this always had been the case in these sort of genre movies since the '70's on. The movie and it's story really start to get out of control as it heads more and more toward its incredibly poorly done last 20 minutes.The scare effects of the movie just don't work out and they try to enhance it by adding some gore but instead it works out all the more ridicules since it's just not very convincing looking. The special effects are just too lame. The movie also doesn't exactly get scary due to the fact that the mummy is a beautiful, young, half-nude, Arabic girl.The acting in this movie is all in all not that bad, especially considering the genre but of course the actors aren't exactly helped by the movie its incredible weak and silly script. What's even the main point in the movie its story? The movie really isn't going anywhere with its story. There is mummy on the loose who kills a lot of people in an horrible way but yet no one seems to be worried about the fact that their friends getting killed. The cast mostly consists out of young unknowns with the exception perhaps of Bruce Boxleitner who is a well known in certain circles.Well OK there are worse movies to watch out there but that doesn't make this movie a good one. The fact that the movie has such a tiresome story is the foremost reason that this movie is a completely dull one that certainly isn't recommendable, not even for the genre fans or lovers of 'bad movies'.2/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Chris Mackey (guestar57) LEGION OF THE DEAD www.theasylum.cc with Bruce Boxleitner and Zach Galligan Written & Directed by Paul Bales…Having interviewed Paul Bales and seen this is on Theasylum Top Three DVD sellers, This critic was curious about LOTD !When you watch the "Making Of.." it gives away some of the secrets to how production came together, Theasylum has the second best BEHIND THE SCENES after Charles Band's FULL MOON . The cast is great ,Of course Boxleitner and Galligan one expect their best, But the lead villain is a Female Mummy- Claudia Lynx and she is perfect. Rhett Giles again turns in a journeyman effort, Except as a right arm to mummy henchman.Once you accept this is happening in US, Not Egypt then you enjoy all the mummies running around and unusual deaths.Paul Bales (look for our interview) is still writing and producing, But could direct again.

Jack Some kids are riding dirt bikes in Southern California, and one of them falls into a hole. What's in the hole? Well, an ancient Egyptian burial chamber of course. Archaeologists are called in to investigate, and they end up awakening the spirit of the evil priestess. She uses her "legion" of mummies (at least 5 or 6 of them) to track down a virgin and bring them back for sacrifice. She also spends a great deal of time running around nude, taking a skinny-dip in a hotel pool, killing some guy for a reason I can't remember, etc.The main character is a female archaeologist (the "star" according to the advertising is Bruce Boxleitner, but he's only in a few scenes). She's actually the high point of the movie, acting-wise. She gives a fairly descent performance, and she's certainly not bad to look at. Her plot is mostly concerned with the fact that she has to work with a guy who used to like her, but she betrayed him by sleeping with one of her professors, who she also has to work with. Will she be able to defeat the evil priestess and her "legion" of undead, while at the same time fending off advances from her professor and patching things up with the guy she likes? You'll have to tune in and see for yourself.Overall, the action in this movie is quite silly, and if you're into so-bad-they're-good movies, this should fit the bill. It's a fairly fast paced, fun romp, though the "climax" is a bit of a letdown as it's actually a bit more dull than the lead-up to it, but oh well.

jennifer24601 I saw this movie with friends, and we had good fun. We didn't expect to be scared to the bone but rather wanted something that would make us laugh and give us a couple of surprising moments. This movie hit the mark.I liked seeing Bruce Boxleitner and Zach Galligan after several years. They did a good job as did the females in the three main roles. The Egyptian woman did a good job making the language sound real. I liked having the sisters together and seeing how different they were.I could have done without the gore. Eww. And who names a girl Kevin? I thought she was more likable than the student chick. I would have made her the central character.But overall - it's a fun movie if you don't listen to the director's commentary.
