So let's face it - it definitely is an old movie. But it all depends on the way you watch it, you either respect and understand the fact that it's 45 years old and you try to see it as if you lived then or you just frown and smirk at every bad (read-old) effect and acting & storytelling.
This one was actually quite a surprise for me. First, it was in color which I didn't expect at all, second, it had all the true spirit of the mummy franchise so to speak, and it had Christopher Lee who's acting abilities just over shone everyone else's attempts. He was the true star and protagonist, making the pathway to acting as we know it today. The movie altogether looked like it cost a penny or two back then and it was just nice to see one of the first mummy movies ever made I guess, it had all the elements the newer ones only copied.
