    I have never heard anyone say they don’t like The Mummy.

    The people I have introduced to it have all loved it, and only two people have commented on the CG looking a little dated.

    And for some it was their “oh I might be bi” moment.

    10/10 movie, any time I see references to it I have to re-watch the movie.

      The first two were great. The third one was pretty good. The last one was meh.

      I’m still excited to see what direction they take this

      You’re just on the wrong side of the river!

      Seriously tho. Love that movie. And if someone doesn’t like them… Don’t be friends with them. That’s my rule of thumb.

    I’ve been burned too many times looking forward to sequels and revisiting franchises to work well. But here’s hoping for both their sakes and the spirit of the original that it does well. Such a good movie.

      The last one, with Maria Bello, had a different tone to it. I hope, when they go back to the old cast, they can recapture a similar feel.

    On one hand, this is cool. On the other, can Brendan still do any action scenes at this point? I’m guessing there will be a younger cast and they are banking on them taking on the mantle for sequels. Fraser and Weisz will have supporting roles and will primarily be used to draw audiences.

      The action scenes were cool but really it was the setting and humorthat made the mummy for me. So long as he can still act I’m happy

      Beni: Hey, O’Connell! Looks to me like I’ve got all the horses.

      Rick: Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you’re on the wrong side of the river.

    I don’t know which news is better. The overwhelming victories in yesterday’s elections or this. God bless America for once

    The one with Jet Li is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life and certainly the worst I paid money for.

    My first reaction is skeptical, based on how much I liked the first one. Brendan Fraser was perfectly cast in the role, but that role was “young adventurer hero”.

    Twenty-six years later, there’s no way he’s believable at the role that made the original great. Will they write a more mature hero? Will he be able to pull that off. Will they model that off the way Harrison ford characters aged?

      Seconded. It’s like watching Harrison Ford totter and groan through the later Indiana Jones films. I love the franchise, but the guy was tool old for the action. Hollywood hasn’t had an original thought in 20 years, and shoehorning old actors into reprisals of old roles isn’t great. Only one that was halfway decent recently was Top Gun, but even that was not much more than a ripoff of the Star Wars Trench Run.

    Nice! Just this morning I was thinking, “what are some movies that 90s kids loved, that gen Z might have missed?” The Mummy was one of the first ones I thought of.
