I love how people are starting to realize how good this film was all along. It was fun and charming and exciting. I guess it took the Tom Cruise reboot to make people see that the Brendan Fraser one was a gem.
I never denied it was good; on the contrary, I loved it since they day I saw it for the first time in theaters in the 90's. In the time I could really enjoy going to the movies. Sure the experience of the theater is still miles better then what we have at home and the technology no doubt has improved beyond expectations to what was possible at the times of the Mummy... but the problems of Hollywood is that they now rely solely on those CGI special effects instead of actually creating a good story... more over they are now all about stuffing your throat with politics and the story is just a distant afterthought.... While going to the theater will always be a better experience then at home; I just don't see myself going to the theater coz today's movies aren't fun anymore. Nothing sucks harder then coming out of the theater and be like.... 'well that sucks; I paid a lot of bucks to see absolute garbage'. That's why I don't go to the theater anymore; it's not the quality of the theater, it's the disgusting degradation of Hollywood and the movies that are produced.
Ever since they got released, the first two movies are our "family movies". We actually don't watch stuff together, but every year we watch them again.
I watched all three movies so much, I scratched each dvd. So once they were scratched beyond repair I would just go to the next until all three were toast.
Brendan Fraser was such a good actor, and deserved so much more than what he got!! I’m happy to see he is acting again, and after everything he has been through he deserves it!!
It's one of the movies my family always watches when there's time, so hearing that it isn't generally recognized as a top-tier time killer came as a surprise to me.
My favourite part is that, after all the traitorous shit that Benny did, Rick still genuinely tried to help him. As much as he probably disliked him, part of him still remembered that he was once a 'friend' and you don't leave people to die like that, even if they deserve it. That final "goodbye benny" is both "I'm sad you died but you brought this on yourself and I'm not gonna beat myself up about it".
The Mummy Returns, I believe, is criminally underrated. It took what the first established and built upon it in a good way, kept the tone, upgraded the action set pieces and that music score, oh boy!
@@RueRyuzaki6 just goes to show nobody's perfect. Even the best things made my humans have flaws in them. Doesn't mean the rest of the movie wasn't good 😁
@@RueRyuzaki6 tbf, i bet they could fix that CGI now and bring out a reworked version of the movie. With how movie landscape looks nowadays, i would actually expect that. Take old movies, fix the CGI, bring them out in 4K. boom money.
Agreed that the The Mummy is the best non Spielberg Indiana Jones sequel. If we were talking about the best Spielberg movie that isn’t an Indiana Jones film but is still a fantastic Indiana Jones sequel is The Adventures of Tintin. It doesn’t have the mystical criteria that The Mummy but it does have a colorful cast of supporting characters, globe trotting and visually stunning and adrenaline pumping set-pieces. I see it as Speilberg’s proper Indy 4
Good call. Have a look at ‘Tintin and the 7 crystal balls’ as a comic. Tintin was devised as a children’s book, but it becomes very dark at times. Perhaps darker than Indy. Though I really didn’t care for the whole cgi-version of Herge’s amazing books.
Indeed. I heard the film was best described as what Kingdom of The Crystal Skull should have been, and I wholeheartedly agree with that perspective. Even after remembering how the film originally attracted dislike for it's more photorealism look when originally showing, nice to see that the effort to give a more cartoon-y sense of design to the faces and world has helped it hold of visually way better than it really should have. I do very much enjoy coming back to it now and then.
Man the mummy doesn't get the credit it deserves I love the first and second one classic I can watch it anytime and no ever mentions the mummy 2 birthed the career of THE ROCK
I watched some of the CGI review the the Corridor Crew did on this series, and it really brought to light how great of a job the team did at the time this movie was released. The combination of practical effects combined with CGI was stunning. They even changed the time of day of an establishing shot from day to dusk (shot on a miniature) digitally. So painstaking.
I've watched this movie like 100 times, it's a classic for me. I remember when I went to the cinema as a kid with my dad, and it scared the hell out of me. Especially when they cut Imhotep's tongue and lock him alive with the blue beetles, that shit gave me nightmares. Also, special mention when Imhotep wakes up.
One of the keys to the movie's success is how many little beats it has, not just comedic beats and funny one-liners, but little bits of action business like this. It's something the MCU has clearly studied closely.
The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser is awesome. I have seen it in the movie theater, along with the sequel The Mummy Returns. I'm impressed with this informative video.🌈🦄⭐👑🦊
The Mummy is awesome and I wish more people from nowadays would watch and appreciate this masterpiece. Also, it's a shame that the majority forgot about the talented Brendan Fraser. The reason his career "ended" is just tragic. I wish this lovely man all the best!
That's how I pitched it to everyone after I saw it. "Animated Indiana Jones" (With a dog). The Indy Trilogy+Mummy+Tintin is one of the best adventure lineups you could ask for (I might also include Atlantis: The Lost Empire)
@@NakAlienEd Steven Spielberg was drawn to direct both movies as they are similar characters. As a Tin Tin fan since childhood (I had devoured those beautiful books as a kid), Spielberg’s movie was a great homage to the legacy of the character. It’s a pity it wasn’t successful enough to adapt further books into movies.
@@NakAlienEd Atlantis was Indiana Jones movie it was just that children weren't clued up on the Egyptians at the time. Star Gate covered that in it's franchise although they spun it as being an alien race.
The mummy and the mummy returns have always been in my top 10 movies since I was a kid. I say they hold up better than most movies made in recent times (except the scorpion king CGI lmaoooooo). It's great to see people realize that these movies are actually good. It's a shame what happened to Brendan Fraser, I've always really liked him and his films.
John Hannah is so underrated. He's the classic British detective in Rebus season 1, then goes on to be the Naked Gun-esque parody of the same archetype in A Touch of Cloth
@@robertobuatti7226 Sounds cool. I love the movie "Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark" and it's my 3th favoutive movie. The 1th favoutive is "Jurassic Park" and 2th "The lost world Jurassic Park" also "Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark" is the only Indiana Jones film I saw. And I'm a massive huge Jurassic Park fan and I am a dinosaur expert and a 14 year old that draws pretty damn cool dinosaur drawings. lol.
@Tyresaurus Oh that's sounds awesome, I wish I could draw dinosaurs, I used to draw human faces OK but I'm not gifted with artistic talent even though I love to draw.
The Mummy is one of those eternally underrated movies. I was 10 in 1999 and seemed to be one of only like 3 people in my entire grade who liked it, and my sister and I seemed to be the only people I know who continued to like it into adulthood.
I was 10 as well, and everyone in my class preferred the later fast and furious movies while I was still obsessed with the Mummy. Glad to see it's been gaining a lot of love lately.
I always loved the subtle humor they put in. Like when O'Connell first met Carnahan and Carnahan playfully slaps him on the chest, and O'Connell immediately checks if he stole his wallet while mocking his laughing.
I distinctly remember seeing this movie with a bunch of friends. On the way out of the theater everyone was smiling and laughing and talking about how the movie was better than any of us expected it to be. Maybe it's not a great movie, but it's at least pretty darn good.
Just came to say I agree with everything! haha. I love the Indy movies (all 3 of them that exist), and always got mad when people called The Mummy just a ripoff...when it is actually the next step. The fully realized supernatural element that was always only suggested in Indy films, gets the center stage as the villain here. Great video!
The Mummy is literally one of my favourite movies of all time. What got me interested in Egypt and history... I remembered the first time I watched it was Christmas time in 02 or 03. First time passing in Brazilian television in the Channel Globo. Had to beg my mom to watch it .. since it started at midnight and I was 8 hahaha.
You know what?.... YES. It is a worthy, brilliant "spiritual successor" to the IJ films. I fondly look back at The Mummy movies and remember the 1st one being a super fun ride back when we watched it for the first time
I remember Seeing the mummy and duel wielding my police Toy revolvers and shoulder holster and Getting a Creepy pasta/modern day remake of a classic monster movie meets Disney action and adventures I luv this movie It will always be in my heart. P.s Does anyone remember watching this on Vhs or Amc and Usa Network on cable.
I always have nightmares on those scarab beetles as a kid. Seeing rhinoceros beetles whenever my friends' fight always reminds me of them from this film.
I was recently on vacation with my girlfriend and as we flipped through the tv channels one morning, this happened to be on. It was near the beginning, and neither of us had seen it in years, so we started watching...and before you knew it, we were entranced! I'd always liked it, and it holds up surprisingly well. It's fun, paced perfectly, and the actors are great. Your video gets every point right!
I used to perform in front of The Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Orlando. That’s when I really started to fall in love with this movie. Truly a classic in retrospect. Great video! 🧟♂️
I liked Crystal skull, yes it's my less favorite Indiana Jones movie, but it's still a good Indiana Jones movie none the less, and honestly aliens 8n the movie is no difrent from the lost ark of the convemt littleral Melton people and taking their soul,
Yeah watched this a few months back- it was a childhood favorite and I wanted my wife to see it. And I realized just how high quality it really is- there are clear stakes, understandable characters, obvious motivations, and great effects! It is definitely awesome
I grew up on this film as a young Kid and have watched this film and it's sequel at least once every year. It is the best Mummy film ever made and should be Brendan Frasier's crowning Achievement of his Career.
It is a shame this genre of movies isnt made very often. It is probably my favorite type of movies. I have recently been watching these adventure movies. The most recent new movie was Jungle Cruise. It was not as good as Pirates of the Caribbean but a fun watch. Some others I watched recently were the Journey to the Center of the Earth series and the Scorpion King. The Mummy series is probably the next i will rewatch.
I really like that, although they're not exactly the good guys, the movie doesn't make them evil or scumbags just for the sake of it. You really feel that they become afraid for their lives when they hear about the curse, and it's also a little sad the way they hang on to O'Connell to survive.
I LOVE Brendan Fraser and I watch The Mummy regularly to this day. There are very few movies I've seen dozens of times that can make me smile like that.
I loved this back when it came out (I was about 14) and I have watched it several times since then as it is an easy movie to watch and enjoy. I've watched it with my kids (9 and 12) and they loved it too. We got to it after watching the Indiana Jones Trilogy and they liked The Mummy just as much as the Indy movies. All those films have aged extremely well.
I wasn't even looking at the screen when he said "good bye benny" and I had it perfectly burned into my mind and couldn't stop a small chuckle, god this movie is so good, I miss writing like this this is why I moved to anime for moments like this where the characters are not just a character but living breathing people who act like it.
One of my favourite movies as a teenager - still stands up today. In fact, having today watched the trailer for the Uncharted movie, and then this video, I wonder whether The Mummy might just be the Uncharted we all want!
I introduced this movie (my favorite movie of all time!!) to my nephew earlier this year, and he tried to resist it's charm, but failed epically. His jaw was hanging and he kept asking how everything was happening, which was great because this movie came out over two decades ago
The Mummy was so good, the VHS included a little introduction for Pathé films done by Eddie Izzard in their inimitable style, which was as worth watching as the movie :)
Yes, oh god I couldn’t click on this video fast enough. Both series have great movies and moments, but The Mummy really helped flesh out the action adventure of its time.
the cgi tintin film also kinda feels like a spiritual successor to the Indiana jones, even though the source material is older I still get that feeling
Yes I do like these movies, well at least the first two, that third one when they went to China that needs to be put into a incinerator. But I like in the first two that blend of action and comedy.
@Big Fat Liar. you asked me do I want a fourth movie and I told you as long as it isn't the disaster that Tom Cruise's Mummy was. Or the 3rd mummy movie when they were in China. That one was straight garbage.
This is a REAL dungeons and dragons roleplayer movie. Just take the scene where they run and we see they forgot the locket/key, my friends and I were groaning when we saw it, and thinking oh now we need 30 minutes or more watching them trying to get it back, but nope, like a good roleplayer he remembered and just went back to get it. Such a great movie to watch if you are a good ol pen and paper style D&D player, you can almost hear the dice roll with every action they take
I love the 2 Mummy movies from the 90s. Sadly when Rachel Weisz did not return for the third movie the franchise died. But everything has a silver lining, since then Ms Weisz has given us excellent performances as a dramatic actor in many films. Watch her in The Favourite, playing a meanie, she's fantastic.
Yeah If I remember right There was this one scene where the people were possessed and the One guy was panicking on how he could escape the people who were "Brainwashed"/Possessed/Mind Controlled (super naturally ofc) and just out of no where acts one of the people and chants with them. Honestly that's was a Funny scene xD you can say one of my fav comedy scene even tho it's just so short it was still golden. But seriously tho even after years I can still remember this movie it was really great as said from the video. I mean if it can make me remember a certain scene even tho it was a very long time ago then that might be a sign that's its a solid movie. Although it's a very flawed excuse cause scenes from a movie can be a one hit wonder of sorts but still. This movie was a blast.
despite it having it’s flaws, the mummy is my favorite movie of all time. it brings back so many happy memories, but even watching it again just a few weeks ago, it’s still my favorite.

@@nicolasfurger1032 I have no idea how/whether this is related to the comment you responded to, but solid advice!
People who watched The Mummy as kids will never forget the scarab beetle scene
My personal favorite scene is when Brendan Fraser knocks Benny's legs out from under him with a chair.
Facts, that was scarier than any horror movie scene I had watched up to that point.
That shit always made my skin crawl as a kid
And the mummification scene. Imhotep's tongue getting cut off still haunts me today
Which one? There were a lot of the scarab scenes, and all of them equally horrifyingly memorable.
The Mummy is seriously underrated, deserves much more recognition
It's one of the movies my family always watches when there's time, so hearing that it isn't generally recognized as a top-tier time killer came as a surprise to me.
The Mummy is underrated? What?
What do you mean underrated? It was seriously popular, even today with comparison to that dreadful remake.
Comments like this are horrible
@@irwinisidro especially compared to the dreadful remake.

That final "goodbye benny" is both "I'm sad you died but you brought this on yourself and I'm not gonna beat myself up about it".
Yeah, that line could easily have been smug and heartless from a lesser actor, but Fraser added a touch of genuine regret without making it sappy.
great point!
The Mummy Returns, I believe, is criminally underrated. It took what the first established and built upon it in a good way, kept the tone, upgraded the action set pieces and that music score, oh boy!
That scorpion king cgi though...other than that I also think it's underrated
Yeah, Scorpion King was a con. But only one. Everything else was amazing.

It is the best Mummy film ever made and should be Brendan Frasier's crowning Achievement of his Career.
The mummy (1999) knows that it is a popcorn movie. So it embraces that to the fullest.
It is a shame this genre of movies isnt made very often. It is probably my favorite type of movies. I have recently been watching these adventure movies. The most recent new movie was Jungle Cruise. It was not as good as Pirates of the Caribbean but a fun watch.
Some others I watched recently were the Journey to the Center of the Earth series and the Scorpion King. The Mummy series is probably the next i will rewatch.
Whoelse got sad from the 3 American deaths. They weren’t bad guys.
Only the glasses guy was sympathetic
@@Richard_Nickerson Really? The other two were kind and chummy with the main characters.
I really like that, although they're not exactly the good guys, the movie doesn't make them evil or scumbags just for the sake of it. You really feel that they become afraid for their lives when they hear about the curse, and it's also a little sad the way they hang on to O'Connell to survive.
@@gustavogirotto true. I liked them. They were funny. But the British guy deserved it.
YOU MUSNT READ FROM THE BOOK
@@xanderfoley6641 Yeah, he was the biggest bastard. But still a realistic character, not a charicature.
Can't believe I was 7 when I saw The Mummy in theaters with my family.
I LOVE Brendan Fraser and I watch The Mummy regularly to this day. There are very few movies I've seen dozens of times that can make me smile like that.
I loved this back when it came out (I was about 14) and I have watched it several times since then as it is an easy movie to watch and enjoy. I've watched it with my kids (9 and 12) and they loved it too. We got to it after watching the Indiana Jones Trilogy and they liked The Mummy just as much as the Indy movies. All those films have aged extremely well.
I really hadn't thought about it. Great video
"He's still... juicy?!" Great laugh and "Oh Sh**" moment all in one!
I wasn't even looking at the screen when he said "good bye benny" and I had it perfectly burned into my mind and couldn't stop a small chuckle, god this movie is so good, I miss writing like this this is why I moved to anime for moments like this where the characters are not just a character but living breathing people who act like it.
The Mummy 1999 s one of the my favorite movie and I never thought of it as a Indiana Jones Sequel
I have The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser, and the sequel The Mummy Returns on DVD.
The mummy definitely would've existed in the same world as Indiana Jones. That would be an awesome crossover.
One of my favourite movies as a teenager - still stands up today. In fact, having today watched the trailer for the Uncharted movie, and then this video, I wonder whether The Mummy might just be the Uncharted we all want!
I've watched both the parts more than 100 times and it's always coming on TV here in my country.
God I love this movie. I love every actor in this movie so much.
I’m glad this came out during this BRenaissance
I introduced this movie (my favorite movie of all time!!) to my nephew earlier this year, and he tried to resist it's charm, but failed epically. His jaw was hanging and he kept asking how everything was happening, which was great because this movie came out over two decades ago
I actually had a notebook during my high school days where I mentioned a list of movies I rewatched. Mummy was at the top forever.
I really miss these types of Action Adventure films.
The Mummy was so good, the VHS included a little introduction for Pathé films done by Eddie Izzard in their inimitable style, which was as worth watching as the movie :)
Yes, oh god I couldn’t click on this video fast enough. Both series have great movies and moments, but The Mummy really helped flesh out the action adventure of its time.
the cgi tintin film also kinda feels like a spiritual successor to the Indiana jones, even though the source material is older I still get that feeling
One of my all time favorite movies ❤️🩹
Yes I do like these movies, well at least the first two, that third one when they went to China that needs to be put into a incinerator. But I like in the first two that blend of action and comedy.
@Big Fat Liar. not if it's going to be anything like Tom Cruise's version of The Mummy.
@Big Fat Liar. you asked me do I want a fourth movie and I told you as long as it isn't the disaster that Tom Cruise's Mummy was. Or the 3rd mummy movie when they were in China. That one was straight garbage.
@Big Fat Liar. DAMN!!!
This was one of the best movies ive ever watched . i was thinking of watching it again after soo many years
Seeing this movie in cinemas must have been an absolute bliss. I only watched 2 on the big screen but loved it regardless.
He's right. The mummy really IS a good film! I have forgotten it, but t's so nice to hear someone talking about it☺️
Man these movies are classics. Kinda wish they could redo the effects and rerelease them
This movie has been a family favorite since it came out. Nice to see it getting the love it (and it’s characters) deserve.
This is like, my favorite movie ever
This is a REAL dungeons and dragons roleplayer movie.
Just take the scene where they run and we see they forgot the locket/key, my friends and I were groaning when we saw it, and thinking oh now we need 30 minutes or more watching them trying to get it back, but nope, like a good roleplayer he remembered and just went back to get it.
Such a great movie to watch if you are a good ol pen and paper style D&D player, you can almost hear the dice roll with every action they take
I love this film. The 4K release is gorgeous as well. One of the all time great looking blockbusters.
I love the 2 Mummy movies from the 90s. Sadly when Rachel Weisz did not return for the third movie the franchise died. But everything has a silver lining, since then Ms Weisz has given us excellent performances as a dramatic actor in many films. Watch her in The Favourite, playing a meanie, she's fantastic.
Well said! Now I want to rewatch this
I love the Mummy and Mummy 2.
I watch them anytime they are on.
I never get tired of them.
This video is exactly as long as your other Indiana Jones video.
Mummy three is my jam 🤣 proud to say I saw that on theatres and have never stopped re watching since 🤣
Yeah If I remember right There was this one scene where the people were possessed and the One guy was panicking on how he could escape the people who were "Brainwashed"/Possessed/Mind Controlled (super naturally ofc) and just out of no where acts one of the people and chants with them.
Honestly that's was a Funny scene xD you can say one of my fav comedy scene even tho it's just so short it was still golden.
But seriously tho even after years I can still remember this movie it was really great as said from the video.
I mean if it can make me remember a certain scene even tho it was a very long time ago then that might be a sign that's its a solid movie. Although it's a very flawed excuse cause scenes from a movie can be a one hit wonder of sorts but still.
This movie was a blast.
despite it having it’s flaws, the mummy is my favorite movie of all time. it brings back so many happy memories, but even watching it again just a few weeks ago, it’s still my favorite.
Loved this movie and sequel when growing up
I wonder if Stephen Sommer ever thought of approaching Spielberg like "Get Harrison Ford on the phone, have I got a pitch for you!"
This movie just gets better with every rewatch
Love this movie so much. Honestly why I love Egyptian history today
