Damn, what a missed opportunity. A shared universe centered on Brendan Fraser would have succeeded where Dark Universe later failed, and years earlier too!I wouldn't even call it a guilty pleasure, it's a legitimately great fantasy action film. It's a shame the sequels were complete garbage. They should have gone with the original idea of the characters encountering a different Universal monster in each movie, but the studio chickened out and decided mummies and sand effects were the reason people liked the first one.
I think The Mummy earned a place in the pantheon of best adventure movies along with Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Curse of the Black Pearl etc to name a few.
Let's not go too far..but just imagine if someone with half a brain could have made a crossover movie with with these two characters.Lmao amazing thread
And I'm gonna be that guy that says this Mummy is a better Indiana Jones. Indy could never make that throw.
This movie is legit a guilty pleasure, watched it a few days ago (for the first time in over a decade) and it's still entertaining af.
I just did, and you have no chair to stand on....because it's been used as a make shift bola, like a better-Indy would do.Let's not go too far..but just imagine if someone with half a brain could have made a crossover movie with with these two characters.

I could watch this for hours.
We got Scorpion King-ed out of a potential Monster universe. What a fuckin' loss.I wouldn't even call it a guilty pleasure, it's a legitimately great fantasy action film.

My dad is a dim-witted man. After a few months pass he can't remember having seen a movie. But he loves ancient Egypt. About once a year I put The Mummy on for him and me to watch. Every time, after about the first 5 minutes he goes "Oh this is going to be a good movie, I can tell", and he thoroughly enjoys himself. He's probably seen it 15 times.
Someone upgraded this from the 40kb tumblr version after nine years? Reminds me of how long it took people to stop using the 2007 cam rip gif of "So good!" from Spider-Man 3.
I love that they made us watch this movie in high school to learn about ancient history or some shit.
I would also have accepted a picture of John Hannah mid-colourful swear from Spartacus.My favorite part of the OP is you used a picture of Wildlife Expert Jack Hanna instead of a picture of Actor John Hannah
C'mon now, don't do Last Crusade dirty like that. I love "The Mummy," but I would still rather watch Indiana Jones 1 & 3.
My sister had a massive crush on Brendan Fraser when she was in high school.
That is all.

The second one has it's moments and Fraser and Weisz are still great together, but it's overly reliant on bad CGI and that kid is really annoying. We don't talk about the third one.OK we know he original Mummy is great but what did everyone think of the sequels?
There weren't any chairs, probably because the first one was so violent.OK we know he original Mummy is great but what did everyone think of the sequels?
Alright mr. Mandrake, explain the missing H in Jack Hanna then if you're so smart
