Cardboard box fights scaly pile of rags!

Ya know, this should be one of those "so bad it's good" kind of moovies, but the awful truth is: the moovie is plain boring! It takes FOREVER to get through all the pointless exposition before you ever get to see the mummy or the robot - a lot of nonsense about the Bat (evil guy) & the Professor (the good guy). Face it: all we wanna see is the fight! Of course, when it finally does happen, it's one of the slowest & stupidest monster fights in moovie history, and almost makes the wait worth it, but not really. Rock & Roll Wrestling Women VS The Aztec Mummy is far moore fun! I give this moovie 1/2 a hoof out of 4 - rent it for a chuckle, but keep yer finger on the fast-forward button! :=8)
