WHEEZING THE JUICE!

Totally, I miss him :(

Yup

I didn’t know it was another fun Stephen Sommers movie, I just figured it was crap. I’ll check it out. Thank you.

I loved the movie Van Helsing.

I loved Van Helsing. It's a shame it didn't do well

With the best eyes ever known to a mummy

Benny: "AAAAAAHHHHHHH"

My dad quotes that line all the time

@@katherineperrin4817 it's an amazing line

@@eduardojara6955 Indeed. My dad quoted this long before I had seen the movie, so when I saw the move for the first time I was like, THAT'S where the line came from!

The LINE .....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

third was not so great but no fault of brendans

I thought the first two were great, and the third one was unnecessary, but I consider it a popcorn flick.

I didn't enjoy it too much - while there are some good figures, like Frasiers and the riders who protect the grave, the comedic sidekick and the damsel in distress are incredibly annoying.

the mummy is a masterpiece compared to anything that has came out in the past 10 years

bitches man, bitches...

JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP

He's joined the cast of a new TV show called "Condor".

Save the King of Jungle.

He's going to be in DC Universe's Doom Patrol series as Robotman

Same, some friends and I rewatched the first 2 Mummy movies pretty recently and they're still very entertaining. I can look past some of the janky effects, it's from a different time after all.

I agree that Mummy Returns has a lot of fun moments, but they DID really let the CGI get out of control. There's honestly no excuse for just how terrible the Scorpion King at the end looks. Even at the time, people considered it embarrassingly bad to the point it nearly ruins the finale. (Hell, some thought it would kill off The Rock's then-burgeoning film career, but at least it wasn't THAT bad.)

I watch the older Brendan Fraser Mummy movies every summer out at my cottage on old VHS, and I've loved them since I was young. Seeing the trailer for the new Mummy made me sad because the new one looks so bland and similar to any other big summer movie coming out.

I actually liked the Tom Cruise one well enough.

It was okay. I could tell that they cut it up. I think it makes for fun fanfiction material

Whew. At first, I thought this was going to be a "Brendan Frasier boned my Mom" story.

Frank about as classic as a wet fart I did in 1987; not very.

+Dick B. Danglin your fart was underrated.

Ha! Nah, but I thought that while typing it too. Anyway, he banged my dad.

+Frank LMFAO! Points!

The Mummy: "We have such sights to show you!"

The Mummy 99 was actually loosely modeled off Hellraiser. If you watch them both they're sort of similar.

@@Gamer_Man_Bathwater imhotep=frank

Franklin Blankenship but then they would have to make him having bad eyesight the WHOLE time, which is a plothole as the mummy can fight so well

Bad eyesight or not, why *wouldn't* he become obsessed with Rachel Weiss? She's hot.

It's funny because I was never confused as to why he mistook her. The big stink made about the glasses breaking and him not having eyeballs made it obvious to me.

I had no idea anything had been taken out - I didn't make the connection until watching this video, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense and I dunno why I never got it.

The way I saw it, I could tell Imhotep mistook her because of him squinting his eyes and the sort of questioning tone in his voice

Yeah I have to retrain my mind to thinking it's "old"

David Curry it's not ancient, but eighteen years is a long time lol

damn we 90s kids are getting old...

Prince Solomon I know, everything I grew up with is celebrating 20th anniversaries ;w;

MOSTCHEDDA and hopefully never again!

I was really surprised to discover there are FOUR of them!

I'll be honest... I still own my Scorpion King dvd. The Rock's first movie is still one of his best. But it's complete cheese and I'm aware it's a guilty pleasure.

+Lugbzurg Wait, there's 4? I thought there only were 2. D:

I agree, scorpion king is a definite guilty pleasure of mine. Especially because of Kelly Hu.

Marcos Gallardo I hate him so much. He's such a dry, buzzkill hack.

Ebert, like any critic you can name, had his hits and misses. This is after all a man who panned "Blade Runner" when it came out and only years later when he revisited it changed his mind. Critics are still human and they can, and will, trash movies you love and love movies you hate. Which is why I always say don't listen to them and decide what it is you want to see based on what you like.

Actually sisckel and ebert were my go to critics but not the way most people did. If they both gave a movie thumbs down it eas on my must watch if they split i had to guess and it they both liked it i avoided it like the plauge was never disappointed.

@@ufoe20011 Exactly. My brother and I watched them on PBS in the early 1980's to decide what movies to watch. If they said thumbs down we paid our hard earned teenage money to watch the movie. They always came back years later to "revisit" the movie and change their minds after they saw they were wrong.

@@umachan9286 True, but when they go around shaming the makers of Silent Night Deadly Night like they were child molesters, it stops being "difference of opinion" and starts being "we did cancel culture before it was cool".

Same here, it has what a true werewolf vs vampire fight should be and not that twilight crap

The ps2 game is pretty good aswell.

Same, I thoroughly enjoyed that movie... I have it on dvd.

I'm with you man

It's a ridiculous trope movie, but absolutely perfect for what it is.

Good idea, plus I'm still waiting for Darabont's version of The Long Walk, probably he will give us a downer darker ending.

이종석 Seconded

이종석 thirded

이종석 Fourthed!

skipping number 5...... 6th. (I'mma rebel :p lol)

And isn't there something about Tom Cruise these days that makes it hard for you to see him as anyone else than Tom Cruise? It kinda takes you out of the story.

To be fair this new one is trying to be it's own thing, the only similarity the two will probably have in common is the fact that there is a Mummy in both. Also it will just be the first in a whole new monster verse, witch honestly has me far more worried.

RogueDragon05 from the trailer we already know that the Tom cruise character causes all the problems because he releases the mummy and the mummy does practically the same they it did in the 1999 version. And I bet the Tom cruise character lives to the end of the film. So how are they making it their own? They are clearly going for broke.

I see a 5'5" (5'7" with shoes on) running, scowling man named Nick. Will he be better than the badass yet likable gun toting Rick O'Connell?

We don't talk about the third one.

But not that horrid remake or it's sequel. Actually, that might be appropriate for the channel. (TBH, I own both of them - guilty (special effects) pleasure! Especially that petrified smile scene.)

Reuben Kim I just can't get into the two new ones. The second he turned down the special weapons I knew I was wasting my time. The sword, the shield and the helmet were such a huge part of the original 😎

Same here, I was petrified of those damn flesh eating beetles crawling into my room. It delivered an amazing feeling of a comedic adventure but also dark and out right horror elements that made Indiana Jones so iconic...that series also made me super scared as a kid lol.

AshXXMayftw I don't think so... cruise its way different from Fraser

Wulfgar Dredd shits on it though

That comes down to one's opinion, I enjoyed Dredd but the Stallone Judge Dredd has a personal connection with me. The film is not perfect but I love it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't, it's got great action sequences, a cool story and an amazing use of miniatures.

"The film is not perfect but I love it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't" - Well said. More people should follow your line of thought. That's why I dislike ratings of any kind. Just the observations about the movie speak for themselves (which this channel does well). Unfortunately, the simplest opinion is always the easiest to spread and people don't often give a second thought to the work that goes into making these movies and individual scenes, designs, etc.

There are a lot of films I love but some people hate like the 2001 Lara Croft Tomb Raider film, I grew up playing the original games and it captures the look and feel of them perfectly. Angelina Jolie owned the role I can't think of anyone else who could of done it, she spend months training gaining some muscles and even did all her own stunts.

Yeah. I love the ship and character designs of Episode I (some of my favorites in the entire saga, and I think they are very well thought out and nuanced, despite some people thinking they stand out compared to the original movies). I love the choreography of the Smallville fight in Man of Steel and set pieces like the first flight or the intro. I always want a movie to try its best at something, even if it ends up "failing", rather than being just another competent, but generic movie.

have you ever seen the christopher lee Remake by hammer horror in 1959?

The Horror Miser Monty G I don't think they can be compared, cruises one it's way too seriously focused... I love the humor from Fraser's one, so probably I won't personally enjoy cruise (mostly cause I don't enjoy him at all)

I know that Tom Cruise's Mummy isn't the same as Brandan Fraser's Mummy. What I meant is that I hope it lives up both the original Mummy and the remake, that it is just as good as those 2 movies were.

I boycott Tom Cruise's movies. It's a damn shame because he is a good actor. The new Mummy looks decent, but Tom Cruise is a terrible human being.

+fleshTH So you haven't seen Tomorrow Never Dies? Damn. Just "damn".

have you ever seen the Hammer horror version starring Christopher Lee? it is brutal

I just watched the core (2nd time in 12 years) 2 days ago with my wife, it was a guilty pleasure.

I hope this channel does "Explorers" one day.

I second that love that movie

DR is awesome

I agree,deep rising or reign of fire.

Deckaio Deep Rising is one of my favorite monster movies ever. I'd love to see that covered

That Cthulhu-like pic at 1:20 has me interested, but is there anything like that in the movie?

rowan dax Independence Day?

Well, it did have amazing practical effects. I actually quite like it. Then again, i like Dracula Untold....

Endless script rewrites.

I do have one request. Could you possibly do an exploration review of Smokin Aces? Thanks

Yeah he was a useless asshole.

@@Axolotl_Mischief ebert was a hack..he hated movies like die hard and the thing but praised garbage like speed 2: Cruise Control

You called it.

Those are special effects, not visual effects. Specifically, what you are seeing is prosthetic makeup effects.

I always wondered the same thing myself

Really, what is UP with that guy???

It's a man who doesn't own a mirror.

Wow. Everyone in this thread is a dick.

Thanks!

@@GoodBadFlicks Plan on looking at The Postman? Just checking.

Eventually, yes

And...so he liked a movie you didn't like. So what?

I'm fine that Roger Ebert "the person" liked The Phantom Menace. He had his right to liked wherever he want. Hell! Even my brother liked The Phantom Menace. My problem is with Roger Ebert "the critic", the one that everyone in the world of cinema seems to be worship like a god!

And it it still way better than the Last Jedi

A *lot* of people liked The Phantom Panders To Children twenty years ago.

Ebert shat on a lot of movies over the years for like.. no reason.

Ebert was a shitty critic that got famous because TV.

Ebert was just controversial, he hated some films people loved, and loved some films people hated.

I agree unlike a lot a people i don't listen to critics i hear a voice in my head telling me i could like this film and 99.99999% of the time i come out liking it.

Yeah, good thinking.

+Owen Fitzgerald Maybe before the Internet became accessible to many households. After that happened, people could easily look at reviews by other critics, and many probably did.

True, but those 2 were shite.

I agree. C.S. Lewis said something that should apply here (and I am paraphrasing badly): Professional reviewers should not be allowed to review subjects they don't understand or don't care for - at least in an official way. If you don't like or respect, say, science fiction or chick flicks, how can your analysis and opinion rise above your bias? To be objective, you would have to ignore your strengths and go with the absolute basics, which may be entirely unfair to a film (book, genre, play, etc.) which is directed at a particular audience. There's no way Siskel and Ebert love and appreciate all kinds of films. Would they have liked Street Fighter? I think not, but neither do I think the creators of that movie took themselves that seriously. I admit I had some really good laughs watching it in the theater, but that was because I wasn't expecting anything serious. I just had fun. And I judged it based on that. Like Darth Vader (above) said. I don't like to listen to critics before I see a movie. I'll let my own self judge and then compare it to what others think.
