    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 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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    I rewatched it last week thinking it would be interesting to get some sort of sequel (since everyone and their mother is getting sequels/revivals from the 90’s).

    It was one of my favorites.
