Film 2444 - The Mummy

Intro: A cult classic that I'd rewatch over and over again—especially now, knowing that a new sequel (with all the original cast coming back) is coming out in 2028.

Film 2444: "The Mummy" (1999), Stephen Sommers
Watched: From the computer
Language: English
Watched with: Luke
Thoughts: I've always been a big fan of ancient Egypt, mummies, the pyramids, and all that jazz, so when they put all of that into a blockbuster movie with Brendan Fraser AND Rachel Weisz... I couldn't resist!
I love this franchise, and I couldn't believe how little I remembered of this first film. I guess I had my memories mixed up between this movie and the sequel, which I definitely watched more times, as it was one of the first DVDs I got growing up.
Nothing else to say—I think "The Mummy" is class!

Worth a watch?: Cheesy and a bit silly? Sure—and that's probably why it works so well. It's a fun ride, Brendan Fraser is charming as hell, and Rachel Weisz is the clear standout of the film. I think back in '99, nobody expected them to both win an Oscar... and yet here we are, 27 years later. A great blockbuster—go and rewatch "The Mummy" and have fun!
