SunnyHello Nice effects though.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

indicaraynne The acting aside, Chasing Mummies still takes you places you will not likely be able to see in person. I was fascinated by the tombs, the bustle and activity in the backgrounds, the sounds, and the sights. I have learned from this show, and entirely enjoyed it. If you are looking for a stern documentary, this is not for you, but if you like some informative entertainment this works. For all of the comments that were blasting Dr. Zahi Hawass, people seem to forget that the rest of the title of this series is The Amazing Adventures of Zahi Hawass. So it seems to me that the show gives exactly what should be expected. Sure, it could be better, but I personally take what I can get when it comes to Egypt and all it's wonders.

anadama-806-823590 I loathed this staged platform for a ridiculous narcissist so much that I registered on this site in order to leave the first review of my 50 years.This program isn't just a waste of time--it's an offense. There's only a fragment of archeology, the vast majority of the show is devoted to providing a stage for a ... I'm kind of at a loss for a description for this pompous, arrogant, self-aggrandizing nincompoop's arrogant tantrums.I vow to never, ever contaminate my television screen with this excuse for entertaining educational program again.

selket8 I too looked forward to this show, but couldn't watch more than 10 minutes. Hawas is an idiotic bully who should never work with live people (actors or not). He will destroy archaeological aspirations for many! Most of us are aware of his "taking credit" where it is not due him. Not just in the "finds", but in reading hieroglyphs: reading from left to right although they are written from right to left. His grandstanding could almost be tolerated if not for the deceptive showing to the public of "facts". I'm not just angry but disappointed that such a low-grade show is on the History Chanel. I'm grateful for all the honest, intelligent and hardworking archaeologists who share their love and dedication to Egyptian History. Hawas is NOT one of them.

witmergreen I really had high hopes that this would be a good show, but I have to completely agree with the other reviewers who felt that this is trash. I watched the first five minutes of the first show, couldn't take it and tuned to another channel. Later, I decided maybe I ought to give it a second chance, hoping it would get better, so I tuned back in. Again, about five minutes was all I could take. A final tune-in during a commercial break on another show clinched my opinion, and the commercials for the next episode have done nothing to change my opinion. That's how painful this show was to watch, and I say that as someone that really wanted to give it a chance.This show claims to be a "reality" show following Hawass and his "interns". The problem is that it is very obvious that the events in the show are staged and at least some of the dialog written or at least coached for maximum drama. Some creative editing is nothing new in reality shows, which often edit footage to emphasize drama and controversy, but here it's forced, the drama too unbelievable, and the result is just plain painful and unpleasant to watch.
