That moment near the end, when Anahksunamun leaves Imhotep and he looks across at McConnell and Evie, makes you kinda sad for him, as he realises that they have what he never did; pure love.
Yes, what they had was just lust, he wanted her cause he knew he couldnt have her cause she was Pharoah`s. It is pretty much why he just gave up trying to survive as he realized that his desire to live was for nothing.
Right? I always felt the same sorrow for Imhotep. The 3,000 year curse he suffered just because he loved her, and she ends up betraying him in the end anyway.
Probably bc it's the exact same movie and even spends a good chunk of the movie showing the first one,they did the same thing with escape from New York and L.A it's technically a sequel but it almost completely the same plot again.
Right!!! I would have even liked the 3rd one if they hadn't changed Rachel (Evelyn) out for a different actress. But it still wouldn't of been as good as the first two.
@@jennyquade8498 It's why I never bothered with the third one. I'm sorry to the Brenden Fraser fans, but I think Rachel Weiss was the real star of these series. She had a charisma and spunk about her that was fun and relatable.
I love Johnathons character, and one stand out moment for me is when Alex asks for help with a symbol, it’s the same one Evie had to help Johnathon with in the first film. He remembered after all those years
For me, the best line in the entire series is when Jonathan essentially admits he's a screw up but when he has to help Evie cover Rick and Alex "Today's that day." sums up who he is when the chips are down.
I commented it, but I'll say it here, too: characters like Jonathan and Sokka from Avatar are my favorite type of character. They're definitely the comic relief, but they're not incompetent.
I don't think John Hannah gets enough credit generally - he is brilliant in broad comedy, but can also play the dramatic stuff beautifully - I think that is what makes him so good in films which have a comic side, but also other parts. These films are a starting point, but then you see him in Sliding Doors or Four Weddings & A Funeral and he is excellent in both
John hannah is my favorite character in the series. A man who stumbled his way into success. A man who irritates his sister but also made sure that the first thing he did when the river boat caught on Fire was go direct to Evies Room. He's a fool but he's not a complete joke.
@@neilbiggs1353 Exactly, he has such range. His character Batiatus in HBO's Sparticus is very much the same, but the opposite side. Instead of funny, but still clever and competent when the chips are down like Johnathan, Batiatus is ruthless and power hungry, but can still be really funny at times, like when it hasn't rained in months, everythings dry and dead, and he's looking at the ski cursing. "Urrgghhh, rain...by Jupiter's c**k, will you f**king rain!!"
It was sad when she left Imotep and ran off.....the look of devastation on his face, tears in his eyes, when he looked at O'Connal and Evie. You could almost feel sorry for him. Just for that moment....his heart was broken. But, they Both got what was coming to them! Because they were Evil. And all they other guys helping them met their fate too.
@jrob18mvp No, she initiated the attack on Pharoh. Imotep hesitated and only disarmed him but he committed when she did. All that he did was for the love he had for her. It was misguided but all he wanted was her to be back in his existence. He was cursed for what he'd done and was trapped in a terrible existence for 3000 years. He was warped with time and the cruel punishment he and his followers faced. It's alright to feel bad for him. Pity him, and wish he had a happy ending of his own. Such is humanity. We're empathetic.
One of my favorite movies ever. And yes, I've been in the second pyramid. Valley of the kings and karnak were amazing too. There's something quite surreal of standing in structures dating back thousands of years that are still amazingly preserved
This was Dwayne Johnson's first movie role, back when he was one of the two most popular wrestlers at that time, and still pridominanllently known as The Rock. He got his own spinoff movie from this The Mummy Return, The Scorpion King, Dwayne Johnson's first ever leading role. I REALLY hope you guys decide to check out The Scorpion King movie, which goes into the character's backstory (o ly watch the first one lol)...
Let's face it, there aren't that many great sword and sorcery movies. The Conan movies and Kull the Conqueror are some of the better ones, although none of them are completely faithful to the original stories written by Robert E. Howard. Some would classify Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit as sword and sorcery, but, honestly, they are so much more than that. Tolkien wrote them as if they were history and legend. I wish someone like maybe Stephen Sommers would bring Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser to the screen. That would be interesting.
Yay, this makes me so happy!! I just consider The Mummy 1 & 2 to be one long movie. The quality of both matches & the story just flows perfectly. Dwayne Johnson has specifically thanked Brendan Frasier for getting his movie career started by brining him in to play the Scorpion King...it was huge for Johnson's career. There is a 3rd Mummy but unfortunately Rachel Weisz, who plays Evie, had such a great career that she didn't come back for #3. They cast a different (good) actress but it just feels weird. The movie itself besides that is actually good, going to China and having an ancient Chinese mummy with the great Jet Li. It's probably worth a watch, but it is less comedy. Jonathan is in it, too.
Actually Rachel Weisz just had a baby so she wasn't ready to shoot a movie with a newborn. She wasn't sure about the script either but has said that she wouldn't mind playing Evie again if they brought back Brendan as Rick and had a good script.
Thank you so much for the long reaction. Too many reactors cut movies down to 30 minutes or so and it just loses so much. A 1 hour reaction is amazing!! Happy Birthday Amber!!
Yay, the mummy returns. Just wanted to say I deeply enjoy your reactions. Thanks for taking the time to provide these reactions for us, it really means a lot. It really helps me de-stress after a long day and when I'm going through stuff. 😀
This is honestly one of the best movies ever. Action, comedy, romance, even a little campy sometimes, but it all works! I watch this anytime I catch it on TV tbh lol
37:36 - That actor (Oded Fehr) also plays a cool character in the Resident Evil movie series with Milla Jovovich. His first appearance in that series is in the second film, "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". That's a great series, btw. It's scary, but also fun, and not overly gory either.
Yes Oded Fehr is a famous Israeli actor born to Ashkenazi Jewish parents from exile. Movies like the Mummy, the Mummy Returns, Deuce Bigelow and Resident Evil and his roles in Charmed made him famous even outside Israel
Also, fun fact: Oded Fehr isn't fond of weapons in general, yet he usually ends up playing characters that use them a lot. He says he hates having to use them but he still pours his heart into those characters.
I have been lucky enough to travel to Egypt, been inside one of the smaller pyramids, the tombs in the Valleys of the Kings & Queens, lots of temples (Luxor, Karnak, Ramesses) seen King Tut in the Cairo museum - so cool - Alexandria & been to Petra, Jordan (Indianna Jones & the Last Crusade) a truly amazing 3 weeks...🤩
I wasn't jazzed about the 3rd Mummy movie, But The Scorpion King is a good movie. The Rock is in that one as well. Another movie yall should check out, Since Amber said she's fascinated with the egyptian times, Ya'll should react to Stargate the movie.
@hippielady123 That's fine i'm just saying that I liked the movie better than the show. And when I think of Richard Dean Anderson. I think more of mcguyver. I may have spelled that wrong. I think my thing is, I saw the movie before I saw that show. That's why I'm more into the movie.
@@hippielady123I think they should watch the movie on here. It took husband and I about a year to watch all episodes of SG-1 during dinner time. Good show. But the last season is two weren't the best.
I love how these movies play on the need of one another. from the sly fingers of the brother, to the smarts of mom, to the share courage of a dad, the drive of their child and of course the supporting cast of the best friend and that cool uncle figure. really shows true love and trust of one another vs love or lust of power. these are just fun movies.. cheers.
Happy Belated birthday. Great reaction. Personally, I would not even waste your time with Mummy 3. However, the spin-off. The Scorpion King with the Rock isn't half bad. I think you'd actually like it. Keep up the awesome reactions.
Hooray for the Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger Tee Shirt! Happy Birthday! And thank you both for watching this one, I'm really enjoying your reactions! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching more with you both! All my best to you and yours!
So cute that you guys love this, based on your intro comments, I am 100% sure you would love love love the Scorpion King! The Rock is so good and everything about it is so fantastically delicious happy late birthday Amber I got you on your day girl but who knows if you saw the hundreds and hundreds of well wishes. Hope you had a good one..✌🌻💚💫
Hearing all Jordans comments about birds, you all should see the Alfred Hitchcock classic, The Birds! Would love that reaction! Scared me half to death as a kid.
Happy Birthday Amber! Funny story about these movies.....My daughter was about 5 and my son 3. They watched George Of The Jungle multiple times a day. I didn't mind so much because Brendan Fraser walks around in a loin cloth for most of it. Well one day the movie just disappeared (I'm sure my ex had something to do with it, but he swore he didn't) but in it's case is The Mummy. My kids begged and begged me to let them watch it. Finally I gave in, I figured I'd stop it as soon as they got scared and that would be the end of it. Nope, not my kids, watched it all the way through and asked to watch it again right away!🤦😂
I love that this movie had a married couple who are still totally in love with each other, and even more rare, a great kid character instead of the usual annoying archetypes!
I went visiting Egypt in 1997… 15 days from Cairo to the Red Sea… a cruise on the Nile through history visiting all the temples and the cities of ancient Egypt… i’ll never forget it❤❤❤ You MUST go there!!
This is one of a few movies where the sequel is as good as if not better than the first. Amber, if you like Brendan Fraser I think you will love Blast From The Past. In my opinion this is an overlooked gem. Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken are fabulous as the quirky parents. This is such a cute movie.
Glad you guys are loving these movies! The Mummy Trilogy is one of my favorite movie trilogies! You guys have to watch The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor! It was an amazing and awesome continuation to the mummy films, even though I like the first two more.
They are actually pygmies mummified pygmies... similar to Hobbits but smaller and more violent towards outsiders. During the Old Kingdom of EGYPT, pygmies where employed as both servents dancers and performers
Had the treat of seeing this in theaters as a kid and it was an awesome movie to see on the big screen. I enjoy marvel but I’d take these type of action blockbusters over a super hero movie any day.
I understand that Rachel Weisz (Evelyn) & Patricia Velasquez (Anck Su Namun) trained & rehearsed in order to be able to do their fight scene without using any stunt doubles.
So glad you guys enjoyed this one! It's the perfect example of a sequel where everything is expanded and upgraded from the first one while still bringing back the familiar beats and characters. I grew up during the early 2000s and this was one of the best of that era and I watched this movie on home video repeatedly. This really is the perfect action adventure film plus Rick and Evie flirting while fighting side by side make them one of the best on-screen couples! These films wouldn't work without Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz which is why the third film isn't so good because they recast Evie. With Brendan's comeback right now, we're still holding out hope for a fourth film but bring back Rachel as well.
Yeah I refused to watch the third film lol, I got like the first five minutes in and the way the two of them were and the lack of chemistry I just gave up. I doubt he’d do a fourth film cause of all his back issues and such
@@Catherine.Dorian. The third film had a solid opening but yeah that's it really. The rest was unbearable. If Rachel had returned, I'd still be able to tolerate and watch the film cause tbh her and Brendan's chemistry ARE the real stars. Maria was wooden and boring, very obvious that she was a last minute casting decision. Brendan has said recently that he wants to do a fourth one. As for his back issues, they can find ways to film around him with clever tricks and stunt guys.
@@navidhudson7065 Oh if he’s open to it then I hope he does! That man deserves everything. By opening I meant that scene at the table where she and Brendan seemed like roommates with zero chemistry. I was instantly so bored and it felt so wrong I turned it off. I get that marriages can hit those dry spells and it takes work but going from the first two films to seeing them act nearly like strangers making small talk… I just couldn’t stand it
@@Catherine.Dorian. Yes he deserves the world and everything good. That's why the third film should not be canon, imagine going from the first two films to that relationship in the third one. In the second one even after ten years, they were still very much in love. But in the third one, they had to do the dry spell cliche but it doesn't matter cause it was a different Evie anyway. It only they were willing to wait for Rachel to come back but they were so desperate to film and ended up recasting her with the most bland choice possible. And don't get me started on the character of Alex too...
@@navidhudson7065 Yeah ugh Alex! They literally had the perfect kid in the second film, he was a great mix of the two (though I still wonder where the blond hair came from) and then they just ruined it.. then they did worse with the Tom cruise one lol. It was pretty insulting that they waited so long between films then couldn’t wait for her to give birth?
I went to Egypt with my family in 2012. We saw the pyramids and the Sphinx and once i saw them, I understood why it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. It took my breath away 😊
Hey yo it's boy agIn Mostaccioli, Happy Birthday Amber! Hope your day is filled with lots of fun, some good laughs, and a extra amount of cake! Lol forgetboutit.....You guys gotta do " They Live" you won't be disappointed
Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, passed away on July 30th. As a tribute to him I highly recommend reacting to his first film which is now a cult classic, "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", released in 1985. It's also directed by Tim Burton, which is also his first film.
YASSSS PLEASE DO PEE WEE HERMAN… He was a adult but never grew up… he represented all grow ups with their inner child inside… he was that character… he did everything we wish we could do as a adult… be funny spontaneous and just be free…and he Was so I had of his time he made skinny suits with Highwater slacks popular just check out how the kids are dressing today like peewee in the 80s… it. Will also help Jay understand the reference from the movie OVERBOARD with the little boy, who talks like Pee-wee Herman in the movie
It's a shame all the sequels to that movie went straight to video and didn't star the rock,they completely destroyed the timeline for these movies up too.
I was thinking the exact same thing,I left a comment on RUclips movies for the Adam's family film and people went crazy with the likes and left a ton of comments,the only thing I said was when I saw that film around 10 years old I told my mom I hoped to find that kind of love that they had and it really touched alot of people for some reason,thanks for listening to my pointless story lol
@@ericseitzler81 I'm an old-TV show Addams girl, but there's something great about a married couple in love. Unusual to make a successful transition as they have from the first Mummy movie to the second.
If you didn't notice when Evelyn fell off the boat , that's what happened to her in the past life as well. Nefertiri inadvertently leaned too far over the edge of the balcony and fell to her death. Despite having perished, Nefertiri's soul was cast adrift into the currents of time to be reborn once fate deemed the time right to revenge herself upon Anck-Su-Namun. This is why Evelyn is a reincarnation.
Characters like Sokka in Avatar and Jonathan in the Mummy movies are my favorite type of character. They're definitely the comic relief, but they're not incompetent.
I've never thought about Sokka and Jonathan being similar until you mentioned it! Two of my favorite pieces of media, I can't believe I never made that connection ❤
Love this movie so much! =) I know there's a third one that was made like 7 years later, but I've never seen it so I cannot say if it's any good or not (really should go watch it at some point). If you would like some more Egyptian-y goodness in movie form, try the movie Stargate ... it's wonderful!! :D Happy Birthday, Amber!
It's ok but lacks the chemistry of the first 2 because Rachel Weiss had just had a baby and didn't want to be that far away on location. The actress that replaced her just doesn't havs the same chemistry with Brendan.
Yeah the third one isn’t that good because of the country they chose. I wish they went with different country like the Mayans or the Aztecs but they they went with a different area.
I love the insult from Rick to Izzy. lol Izzy: This thing was filled with gas. Not hot air. Gas. I need gas to get this thing off the ground. Where am I gonna get gas from around here? Huh? Bananas? Mangos? What, Tarzan's ass? Well, maybe I could finagle it to take hot air. But do you know how many cubic meters I'd need? It's too big! Rick: If anybody can fill this thing up with hot air, Izzy... it's you. 😂😂🤣🤣
There's an old saying that goes "it skips a generation" In most cases and its actually very rare that your sixth of seventh grand children will look and talk exactly like you. Well in this film it's true... The woman you saw isn't Anck-su-namun but a descendant of hers named Meela Nais how that is possible is unknown
Happy Birthday Amber! Would love to see your reactions to Three Men and a Baby - and One Fine Day. Both super cute kids movies that I think you'll both love :)
One of my favorite kid movies is Baby’s Day Out. Think of Home Alone but with a toddler. There is a scene in the movie, that starts with a cigarette lighter, that makes me laugh so hard that I literally get light-headed. I’m overdue to rewatch it. I need a good laugh.
How about doing movies starring singers that are also amazing actors??!! See both sides of them and their talents: 1. CHER= MASK (based on a true story, very touching) Sam Elliot is also in it you loved him in Tombstone 2.BARBRA STREISAND =A STAR IS BORN or THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (my favorite) 3. JOHN DENVER = OH GOD!!! (touching and very funny legend George Burns co stars )
😂 21:01 my best friend’s dad used to take us all out on the weekend and one of the franchises we faithfully followed at the drive in was The Mummy. There are not enough words to describe how you’re either super into horror or a nightmare kid after a film like any of these.
I love watching movies with you guys so much but I gotta ask, WHEN are you going to watch the last Star Wars film? I'm busting to see what you think of it. Much love from Perth Western Australia. xx
Happy Birthday Amber.....I hope that you had a great day! And yes.....This movie was even better than the first one...I Loved both movies....there is another one ( Evie is played by another actress, there was some reason that made it not possible for her to play Evie in the third movie.) It's when their son is grown up. It's pretty good too......and there is also the Scorpion King movie. 😊👍
Amber, what would you say to an Ancient Egyptian Sci-Fi movie? You two should check out Stargate (1994) It's got Kurt Russel and James Spader. I think you guys would love it.

Remember in the first movie, Evelyn said that she had Egypt in her blood because her mother was an Egyptian.
Lmao! Ardeth Bay!!! The awesome Medjai dude w/the cheek tattoos, portrayed by Oded Fehr?! Ardeth Bay. He’s so, so, so beloved for a reason. He rules.
I love Johnathons character, and one stand out moment for me is when Alex asks for help with a symbol, it’s the same one Evie had to help Johnathon with in the first film. He remembered after all those years
Even with the bad cgi this movie is amazing! I could watch the first one and this one over and over again... and i have😂
Yep the movie is still great even with the horrible scorpion king CGI at the end. The rest is very solid though.
It’s really only the end where it’s that noticeable
Yeah, when I went to the movies to see this, I was like what the hell is this?! I remember the critics tearing it apart in the newspapers 😂
Arnold Vosloo did a great job as the mummy, without speaking a word of English. He deserves to be seen in more films.
The scene where Evie saves Rick and the Mummy’s woman runs away - the look on his face is some good wordless acting.
For me, the best line in the entire series is when Jonathan essentially admits he's a screw up but when he has to help Evie cover Rick and Alex "Today's that day." sums up who he is when the chips are down.

His first movie role was in the movie long shot as a thief. This was his first significant role
Unfortunately, The Scorpion King is a terrible movie. Dwayne Johnson has done maybe 2-3 movies that are worth watching.

Happy Belated birthday. Great reaction. Personally, I would not even waste your time with Mummy 3. However, the spin-off. The Scorpion King with the Rock isn't half bad. I think you'd actually like it.
Keep up the awesome reactions.
I agree
This is one of my favorite movies. I can watch it over & over again. Alex was a great addition to the family.
Hooray for the Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger Tee Shirt! Happy Birthday! And thank you both for watching this one, I'm really enjoying your reactions! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching more with you both! All my best to you and yours!
At beginning when kid knocks down all the stuff - it was a reference to first film when mum is like that in library
So cute that you guys love this, based on your intro comments, I am 100% sure you would love love love the Scorpion King! The Rock is so good and everything about it is so fantastically delicious happy late birthday Amber I got you on your day girl but who knows if you saw the hundreds and hundreds of well wishes. Hope you had a good one..✌🌻💚💫
54:46 Best moment of the movie!!! 🤣🤣🤣
*Jazz Hands!* “Noooooooo!”🙌🏻✨
Hearing all Jordans comments about birds, you all should see the Alfred Hitchcock classic, The Birds! Would love that reaction! Scared me half to death as a kid.
Happy Birthday Amber! Funny story about these movies.....My daughter was about 5 and my son 3. They watched George Of The Jungle multiple times a day. I didn't mind so much because Brendan Fraser walks around in a loin cloth for most of it. Well one day the movie just disappeared (I'm sure my ex had something to do with it, but he swore he didn't) but in it's case is The Mummy. My kids begged and begged me to let them watch it. Finally I gave in, I figured I'd stop it as soon as they got scared and that would be the end of it. Nope, not my kids, watched it all the way through and asked to watch it again right away!🤦😂
I’ve never been so early for an upload! It’s so dope seeing the mummy trilogy get some love! You guys are great man thank you for your uploads!
Oh yay, i was really hopeing you would do the 2nd one❤❤❤❤❤ HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER! You are such a sweet and special lady.
Happy Belated Birthday Amber! Great pick!!! This was one of The Rocks first films!
So glad you enjoyed this. Especially Amber saying i love how they wrapped this up. Great Mummy joke
In Egyptology, Queen Nefertari was the wife of Rameses II (THE GREAT) who was the Pharaoh who Faught against Moses in The Bible...
can i suggest you watch Labyrinth with david bowie as the goblin king
Happy birthday Amber! I just woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep, and here you two are with an awesome reaction to keep me company.
I love that this movie had a married couple who are still totally in love with each other, and even more rare, a great kid character instead of the usual annoying archetypes!
I went visiting Egypt in 1997… 15 days from Cairo to the Red Sea… a cruise on the Nile through history visiting all the temples and the cities of ancient Egypt… i’ll never forget it❤❤❤
You MUST go there!!
@5:01 "Red on black, and you're alright, Jack. Red on yellow, and you're a dead fellow."
This is one of a few movies where the sequel is as good as if not better than the first. Amber, if you like Brendan Fraser I think you will love Blast From The Past. In my opinion this is an overlooked gem. Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken are fabulous as the quirky parents. This is such a cute movie.
Their house itself is a treasure. That's a pretty darn nice mansiony house!
Glad you guys are loving these movies! The Mummy Trilogy is one of my favorite movie trilogies! You guys have to watch The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor! It was an amazing and awesome continuation to the mummy films, even though I like the first two more.
They are actually pygmies mummified pygmies... similar to Hobbits but smaller and more violent towards outsiders. During the Old Kingdom of EGYPT, pygmies where employed as both servents dancers and performers
Had the treat of seeing this in theaters as a kid and it was an awesome movie to see on the big screen. I enjoy marvel but I’d take these type of action blockbusters over a super hero movie any day.
Eh, I saw both in the theaters and get the same feeling for both marvel as I did these as a kid.
I understand that Rachel Weisz (Evelyn) & Patricia Velasquez (Anck Su Namun) trained & rehearsed in order to be able to do their fight scene without using any stunt doubles.
So glad you guys enjoyed this one! It's the perfect example of a sequel where everything is expanded and upgraded from the first one while still bringing back the familiar beats and characters. I grew up during the early 2000s and this was one of the best of that era and I watched this movie on home video repeatedly. This really is the perfect action adventure film plus Rick and Evie flirting while fighting side by side make them one of the best on-screen couples! These films wouldn't work without Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz which is why the third film isn't so good because they recast Evie. With Brendan's comeback right now, we're still holding out hope for a fourth film but bring back Rachel as well.
Yeah I refused to watch the third film lol, I got like the first five minutes in and the way the two of them were and the lack of chemistry I just gave up. I doubt he’d do a fourth film cause of all his back issues and such
@@Catherine.Dorian. The third film had a solid opening but yeah that's it really. The rest was unbearable. If Rachel had returned, I'd still be able to tolerate and watch the film cause tbh her and Brendan's chemistry ARE the real stars. Maria was wooden and boring, very obvious that she was a last minute casting decision. Brendan has said recently that he wants to do a fourth one. As for his back issues, they can find ways to film around him with clever tricks and stunt guys.
@@navidhudson7065 Oh if he’s open to it then I hope he does! That man deserves everything. By opening I meant that scene at the table where she and Brendan seemed like roommates with zero chemistry. I was instantly so bored and it felt so wrong I turned it off. I get that marriages can hit those dry spells and it takes work but going from the first two films to seeing them act nearly like strangers making small talk… I just couldn’t stand it
@@Catherine.Dorian. Yes he deserves the world and everything good. That's why the third film should not be canon, imagine going from the first two films to that relationship in the third one. In the second one even after ten years, they were still very much in love. But in the third one, they had to do the dry spell cliche but it doesn't matter cause it was a different Evie anyway. It only they were willing to wait for Rachel to come back but they were so desperate to film and ended up recasting her with the most bland choice possible. And don't get me started on the character of Alex too...
@@navidhudson7065 Yeah ugh Alex! They literally had the perfect kid in the second film, he was a great mix of the two (though I still wonder where the blond hair came from) and then they just ruined it.. then they did worse with the Tom cruise one lol. It was pretty insulting that they waited so long between films then couldn’t wait for her to give birth?
I went to Egypt with my family in 2012. We saw the pyramids and the Sphinx and once i saw them, I understood why it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. It took my breath away 😊
Fun movie, but Amber you gotta make Jay watch "The Birds" Alfred Hitchcock movies are so awesome🐦🪶😂😅
I agree
Hey yo it's boy agIn Mostaccioli, Happy Birthday Amber! Hope your day is filled with lots of fun, some good laughs, and a extra amount of cake! Lol forgetboutit.....You guys gotta do " They Live" you won't be disappointed
Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, passed away on July 30th. As a tribute to him I highly recommend reacting to his first film which is now a cult classic, "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", released in 1985. It's also directed by Tim Burton, which is also his first film.
Yes and yes to this request!
Thirded!!
YASSSS PLEASE DO PEE WEE HERMAN… He was a adult but never grew up… he represented all grow ups with their inner child inside… he was that character… he did everything we wish we could do as a adult… be funny spontaneous and just be free…and he Was so I had of his time he made skinny suits with Highwater slacks popular just check out how the kids are dressing today like peewee in the 80s… it. Will also help Jay understand the reference from the movie OVERBOARD with the little boy, who talks like Pee-wee Herman in the movie
One of my Favorite Adventure movies! My parents would play the music when I was late for school😂
I know the rocks appearance wasnt all that but he does have his own movie, The Scorpian king. You should check that out too.
It's a shame all the sequels to that movie went straight to video and didn't star the rock,they completely destroyed the timeline for these movies up too.
Happy (belated) Birthday, Amber!!! God bless you. :)
YES!!!!! I've been waiting for this one!!!! Happy belated birthday Amber!!!! 🎉❤
Happy Birthday Amber...You both picked a good one to react to today...An awesome movie.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one! I love you two ❤️❤️❤️ you’re so genuine and I love your reactions
I love how the kid is a blend of his parents traits.
There's some real Gomez and Morticia energy going on in this sequel.
I was thinking the exact same thing,I left a comment on RUclips movies for the Adam's family film and people went crazy with the likes and left a ton of comments,the only thing I said was when I saw that film around 10 years old I told my mom I hoped to find that kind of love that they had and it really touched alot of people for some reason,thanks for listening to my pointless story lol
@@ericseitzler81 I'm an old-TV show Addams girl, but there's something great about a married couple in love. Unusual to make a successful transition as they have from the first Mummy movie to the second.
@@HuntingViolets yea it reminds me of my mom's parents they were still in love after 40 years together
If you didn't notice when Evelyn fell off the boat , that's what happened to her in the past life as well.
Nefertiri inadvertently leaned too far over the edge of the balcony and fell to her death. Despite having perished, Nefertiri's soul was cast adrift into the currents of time to be reborn once fate deemed the time right to revenge herself upon Anck-Su-Namun. This is why Evelyn is a reincarnation.
Happy birthday from Greenland Amber.
Characters like Sokka in Avatar and Jonathan in the Mummy movies are my favorite type of character. They're definitely the comic relief, but they're not incompetent.
I've never thought about Sokka and Jonathan being similar until you mentioned it! Two of my favorite pieces of media, I can't believe I never made that connection ❤
This is going to be good , this is a great sequel to the first Mummy
MaMa was so invested in this reaction.😊
Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉
I would like Brendan Fraser any day!! Lol. 😂❤ Happy Birthday, Amber!!
Love this movie so much! =) I know there's a third one that was made like 7 years later, but I've never seen it so I cannot say if it's any good or not (really should go watch it at some point). If you would like some more Egyptian-y goodness in movie form, try the movie Stargate ... it's wonderful!! :D Happy Birthday, Amber!
It's ok but lacks the chemistry of the first 2 because Rachel Weiss had just had a baby and didn't want to be that far away on location. The actress that replaced her just doesn't havs the same chemistry with Brendan.
Yeah the third one isn’t that good because of the country they chose. I wish they went with different country like the Mayans or the Aztecs but they they went with a different area.
Happy birthday Amber! 🎉 Love the videos. I always look forward to movie Monday and Film Friday.
I love the insult from Rick to Izzy. lol
Izzy: This thing was filled with gas. Not hot air. Gas. I need gas to get this thing off the ground. Where am I gonna get gas from around here? Huh? Bananas? Mangos? What, Tarzan's ass? Well, maybe I could finagle it to take hot air. But do you know how many cubic meters I'd need? It's too big!
Rick: If anybody can fill this thing up with hot air, Izzy... it's you. 😂😂🤣🤣
That was a good hesitation response there Jay! 🤣
There's an old saying that goes "it skips a generation"
In most cases and its actually very rare that your sixth of seventh grand children will look and talk exactly like you. Well in this film it's true...
The woman you saw isn't Anck-su-namun but a descendant of hers named Meela Nais how that is possible is unknown
No she is not her descendant she is her reincarnation.
Happy Birthday Ms Amber🎉
I like this one even better than the first! A rare sequel to be sure!
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎬📽🎞
Loved this movie. So much happening. Glad you got to watch it. Original was great, the sequel was fantastic.
Love this movie so much. I saw it and planned a trip to go to all those places they went to. It was my dream vacation and I loved every second of it.
Happy Birthday Amber! Would love to see your reactions to Three Men and a Baby - and One Fine Day. Both super cute kids movies that I think you'll both love :)
One of my favorite kid movies is Baby’s Day Out. Think of Home Alone but with a toddler. There is a scene in the movie, that starts with a cigarette lighter, that makes me laugh so hard that I literally get light-headed. I’m overdue to rewatch it. I need a good laugh.
The Mummy soundtrack is phenomenal love it so mysterious. Takes you back to the Egyptian era. 😎💞💞
You have to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula from 1992, I think you will like it!
Yessss! I love that movie!
First- Happy Birthday!!! 2nd- OMG I lovedall the Mummymoviesandgotthemall as DVD as they cameout lol
How about doing movies starring singers that are also amazing actors??!!
See both sides of them and their talents:
1. CHER= MASK (based on a true story, very touching) Sam Elliot is also in it you loved him in Tombstone
2.BARBRA STREISAND =A STAR IS BORN or THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (my favorite)
3. JOHN DENVER = OH GOD!!! (touching and very funny legend George Burns co stars )
Barbara in Yental was great.
Ong! Great timing! Loved watching this right now with you guys!
Happy birthday
😂 21:01 my best friend’s dad used to take us all out on the weekend and one of the franchises we faithfully followed at the drive in was The Mummy. There are not enough words to describe how you’re either super into horror or a nightmare kid after a film like any of these.
Brendan is in a movie with so many stars in the movie
Crash.
It's a very serious look at our society and how we deal with race at extreme times
OMG! I was looking through your playlist and can’t believe you haven’t watched The Sandlot, it’s a must see movie
I love watching movies with you guys so much but I gotta ask, WHEN are you going to watch the last Star Wars film? I'm busting to see what you think of it. Much love from Perth Western Australia. xx
Happy birthday Amber!!! Have the best year every day until next year!! Much love!❤❤
You guys should watch The Davinci Code starring Tom Hanks next. Super clever, in the vein of National Treasure but for adults lol.
" that's what you get for sticking your arms in holes" lol that was good one you literally made me spit out my seltzer water 😂😂😂
First - 🥳 Happy birthday! 🎉
Second - Now that you've watched the sequel you *gotta* complete the trilogy! ❤
Thanks for this! Loved it then and now!
Loved both reactions! Hope you enjoy #3 although Rachel is not in it but it was still a decent enough story ^^ I hope we get a fourth soon :)
Happy Birthday Amber.....I hope that you had a great day!
And yes.....This movie was even better than the first one...I Loved both movies....there is another one ( Evie is played by another actress, there was some reason that made it not possible for her to play Evie in the third movie.) It's when their son is grown up. It's pretty good too......and there is also the Scorpion King movie. 😊👍
Amber, what would you say to an Ancient Egyptian Sci-Fi movie? You two should check out Stargate (1994) It's got Kurt Russel and James Spader. I think you guys would love it.
Happy Birthday Amber! Another great reaction !👍😂
Ok now Matrix 3 - The finale is EPIC
Shit was so epic opening night back in 2003
The moment where Rick catches the knife that's thrown at him and throws it back was my favorite action moment when I was a kid.
