What did you think of “The Mummy”?

Sometimes a movie is just a movie...

You cannot judge the past with same standards of the present and then feel ofended. Contextual inteligente

I am black and this movie was funny. All the things you are so offended by is why modern movies are not so funny. Because people get offended too easily.

Dislike, this is nitpicking. It's a classic action popcorn movie. TBH: it's the most fun adventure movie sinds Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Surprisingly, the only question I had about this film wasn't even addressed... If cats are the guardians of the underworld, why on Earth did they not bring a cat everywhere they went. Especially the Egyptologist and the final American. Had they been carrying cats, Imhotep couldn't have completed his transformation as easily.

Looper once again not knowing a damn thing of what they are talking about.

Turned this one off. Stop being so offended by everything. It’s just a story. I’m tired of everything being about virtue signaling. I will be unsubscribing….

Fan: Brandon Fraser is getting back on his feet. Remember The Mummy? Other fan: yea I know. He is a great actor and that was a great movie. Looper: The Mummy is a movie about White Supremacy. Fan and other fan: why are you here?

When this movie came out, hardly any questions about racial and stereotypes. Now nearly every question here is about it. oh .....the world we live in. Why cant I go back and stay in 90s

Why are you confused about the sand thing? In the very beginning of the movie when Odeth Beh's voice-over is describing the curse he says specifically that he will have "power over the sands".

This is a funny movie, and I loved it. This video seems like an extreme version of ‘thinking way too much’ about the movie.

Looper is virtue signaling like there’s no tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Yes, whenever I try to get some escape from reality by watching movies, all I want is them to be as close to reality and scientifically accurate as possible.

Cant you enjoy an action movie without having to make everything out to be racist.

I've never think about it this way, I just enjoy de damn movie

Under modern standards, most of history is questionable. In the future, we will be questionable.

Is Looper going to go through every old movie and point out the ways of new wookism. Lol 😂🤣

Didn't care about a word you said. This movie is still good and will always be my childhood favorite.

Brother it’s a movie it’s made to entertain and that’s what it does so awesomely it’s a great movie stop it with the nitpicking it’s entertainment at its finest and that’s what it is

i hope Brendan Fraser knows how much he means to so many of our childhoods, even if it has some questionable things

Here we go, more woke hysteria..

You do know that the Mummy is basically a Noir film, right...? Noir as a setting involves colonialism in places like Egypt & India, as well as most of Asia. For the setting most of the world is as yet unknown and mystical. It's kind of like the Indiana Jones movies which also fall into the same genre, but unlike that series Mummy was always meant to be more tongue in cheek.

Too bad dislikes are hidden.

Bro it's a reimagining of Universal's old monster movies. Basically old The Mummy meets Indiana Jones. Also, the time frame the movie is set in, it was REALLY common for English guys to go to Egypt and explore and excavate ancient Egyptian ruins. So Evey and Jonathan being British was not out of place. Honestly, I stopped watching after you said that so I have no idea what else you said but I'm pretty sure I can say, stop trying to twist the movie in a bad light for clicks in this modern environment. Thanks to your ridiculous crap here, Looper just lost a subscription. Bye!

The Mummy is a 23 year old film... It came out over 2 decades ago. Why are you judging it by the standards of today? This is a load of bullshit.

Turned this off within 2 mins, virtue signalling bs.

This movie is amazing. It deserves more love and respect, in my humble opinion

My daughters and I used to sit down and have a Mummy-athon every year.... And they would tease me bc they knew I had a crush on Bredan 😂🤣

this is fun action adventure movie with great actors and fun story back when movies were good i hope we can go back to a time were movies are good entertainment

So.... You don't like when they make a joke about someone but yet you propose I need glasses joke and say they should have done it?

The scene with Jonathan Hydes Egyptologist character reading the Egyptian warning on the chest in English to all of his American buddies is probably one of the most spinetingling moments in the entire movie. Jonathan Hyde is a phenomenal actor and he's in other films like Richie Rich as the Butler Cadbury,Anaconda,and Jumanji where he plays two characters Mr.Parrish and one of the villians.

Correction, John Hannah, who played Evelyn’s brother Jonathan is Scottish not English, & their father was English & they were born & raised in England, hence their accents 🤦‍♀️. What does the prison warden smelling bad have to do with race? Considering his profession, the location, & the time period it’s no surprise he smells bad, & it has nothing to do with race. What “stereotypes” do the “zombie like” followers fall into exactly? Jonathan “Last but not least, my favorite plague, boils and sores.” Ardeth “They have become his slaves.” The curse brought with it the 10 Plagues of Egypt, & that scene pretty well falls in line with that. It’s a good thing you don’t write movie scripts, because adding in the 10th plague would have brought the movie to a ridiculous turn, trying to stop the death of Jonathan, & made the movie drag on.

It's a fantasy movie. I'm not going to wring my hands in worry over slights only the constantly offended and professional outrage merchants might raise. Human history is full of stories of cultures being rotten to each other. We can learn from it and strive toward a new path, but recriminations against peoples long dead for the sake of ruining a piece of entertainment because you are miserable with your own life, is childish.

John Hannah is Scottish not English

Wait, the problem with the movie is that it historically depicts (with realism) that the British and Americans were Colonial Empires? lol

The internet is backing up branden Frazier rn, this probably isn’t the best idea rn

The Mummy is like the Pirate movies blind stupid fun not meant to be questioned

Greatest Movie ever

Had to stop watching this. This movie is an awesome classic and you’re not gonna change my mind with your ridiculous woke perception..

Wow what a load of BS

What you people call " problematic " is all bullshit. I like every minute of the Mummy movies. I laugh at the jokes to this day and don't get "offended " with the casting

You've got to keep in mind... this was before everyone became weak and vulnerable and offended. We actually had a sense of humor in the 90's.

Oh, for crying out loud! It was a fun movie... there were white good guys and white bad guys. There were Egyptian good guys and bad guys. And for the time it was set in, it was fairly politically accurate in how foreigners, especially the Brits, looked at the Middle East. Relax and enjoy it!

Don’t go woke Looper.

Have a break looper

Fun Entertainment compared to today’s woketurd

I'm over it. I don't have time to linger on the past anymore.

triggered snowflae alert it has nothing in them that is questionable, be quiet

The mummy took bad eyes, and thus mistakes Evie with Anankhsunamun

Good film

Underrated? I mean sure, it's not really talked about too much these days, but that's true with a lot of big movies from 20+ years ago. It was big enough to get two sequels and a remake (when the 1999 version is itself a remake) with big budgets. Underrated movies don't usually get anywhere near that much industry attention.

Evy was half Egyptian. Jonathan was her half brother. They had the same father,but not the same mother.

There's a line separating funny from offensive. Your blur the line and everything becomes offensive.

The tie in movie novel does touch on the mummys eyesight after taking Burns eyes.

If you think of the time period this is being filmed in, the 1920s, it all makes sense. Colonialism was a thing then. Egypt was the playground of the Western Powers, especially the British Empire, as it was a holding of the Empire. Rick was an American who fought in the French Foreign Legion, he was also an adventurer, and tbh, in most pulp stories, that's what you see; a group of archeologists being led, or protected by, an ex-soldier turned adventurer. For what this movie was supposed to be, it was a well crafted, well written, pulp story

Such a great and fun thrill ride of a movie! LOVED IT!!!!

I love the Mummy. It is one of my favorite, don't really have to think about it movies. I have noticed some of the things that you pointed out. Why Egypt now has such strong laws protecting its "treasures" and how so many throw away characters there are like in Indiana Jones. Looking at it as just mindless fun, it is a wonderful movie that is a much better movie than the Tom Cruise remake.

My top 10 favorite movie of all time, I know I seen this movie over 100 times!!!

Geez, I bet this guy's a blast at a party.

The reason they cursed him was to punish him for all eternity. The hom Dai was intended to deny him access to the afterlife and trap him on the mortal plane. On top of that he's undead but would feel the pain his body endured even as he was dormant in his sarcophagus. He would be aware of the passage of time. No sleep, no comfort, hunger, pain, darkness, suffocation, loneliness, sorrow, regret... He would experience all of it and never die. And anyone raising him also be punished by him if they ever released him, hence the plagues and sucking them dry to regenerate himself. Curses were some fucked up rituals when think about them in detail. The hom Dai was reserved only for the most evil of blasphemers. Imhotep was a high priest to the old gods and close to the Pharoah. By seducing his mistress and killing the Pharoah he committed the greatest crime possible in Egypt, hence why he was cursed while his priests were merely tortured to death. He was never meant to be released. Of course if the Egyptians wanted to keep him dormant forever they should've destroyed the black book of the dead.

tbh, in retrospective, I thought that Imhotep had actually bad sight since he still referred to Evelyn as Anck-su-namun even if she clearly wasn't the same actress but didn't pointed that out, and this bothered the authors so much that they decided to cast the actual actress to play her love interest in the sequel. This 🤣

So just a reminder that Imhotep killed the Pharaoh. That is why he was cursed.

“The Mummy” is on of my favorite movies. What the hell is Looper talking about??

Dragging the bottom of the barrel. Looper used to be cool man.

🙄 commentary on Wokeness. Lol It’s a movie clowns . So dumb.

Bruh, Imhotep DOES have Burns’ terrible vision. That’s the canonical reason why he thinks Evie is Anakhsunamun, despite it being made clear in the sequel that she was never the actual reincarnation of her.

The Ten Commandments (1956). Cecil B. DeMille overcame a minor heart attack while climbing down by ladder from the top of the Ancient Egyptian city gate set while filming the "take three" of the Exodus sequence. In another incident, during filming of a sand-storm scene, an extra carrying a flaming torch tripped over and the torch set fire to the clothing of a young girl standing next to him. The girl only suffered minor burns thanks to the quick thinking of make-up artist Frank Westmore who raced over and tore off her burning costume. During the filming of the same scene, several Egyptian extras were stung by scorpions, or bitten by cobras, both of which had been blown out of their burrows in the sand by the artificially generated storm. I mean.....

I love The Mummy!! one thing bothers me though, in the remake why wasn't Imhotep and Ardeth Bay not the same character like in the original? I also like the Tom Cruise version too.

It's safe to say that Beni is clearly the one responsible for the death of Burns. I actually don't believe it was accidental when he stepped on his glasses...he did it intentionally.

Aside from all the offensensitivity , the Mummy is a fun movie!! I'm sure a better question is the movie ending where Imhotep rides in on a sandstorm with damsel and lackey in tow and Rick and company fly in on a biplane. Now, unless they left some extra camels behind on their last visit to the Mummy's tomb, why were there camels available for the final escape! Oh and while I'm at it , the second Mummy movie has a tense moment with Rick racing against sunrise to save his son! He is racing in the shadow with sunlight speeding up behind him. Okay, tis a fantasy however sunrise would hit the peak of the pyramid first and move down it as the sun rises! Still I love the movies even the 3rd Mummy with Maria Bello had it's moments.

now do Gone with the Wind and see if your woke-ish perspective suffers more

Stop over analyzing everything for wokeness.

8:18 “Power over the sands!” There’s your answer

If Looper remade these movies watching paint dry would be more engaging.

Hope he gets his roses and comeback he was the man in the 90s they did him dirty and I like the third movie it was just upsetting they switched the wife out on the last movie tho smh lol

The line between archeology and grave robbing is 50 years

I always find it weird when someone from the present questions why people in the past weren't bothered by people getting killed as much as it bothers people today. They were surrounded around it a whole lot more then we have been in the last 20-30 years. It's not to say everyone was cool with it but if you consistently duelt on it like a lot of people do now it would eat you alive. I don't think the majority of people truly know how sheltered they have been from the horrors the would could offer.

You know if these things didn’t happen we wouldn’t of had that Movie, a movie I quite enjoy to this day.

They didn't take any treasure, I thought the character development meant in the end they valued their lives and that of the whole planet. It was the personified wicked one who served the mummy put the treasure on the camel, went back to get more and died in the pursuit giving a lesson on greed......

Everyone eventually turns to dirt when we die, so since imhotep is the walking dead the sand thing isnt really that farfetched

I guess there was supposed to be a whole thing about the Mummy having poor eyesight and that he was gonna resurrect his lover in Evey's body. That's why he tried to kiss her and calls her by his dead lover's name early in the movie

"Oh there you go, bringing class into it again."

well this post backfired for u didnt it lol woke films today are sanitised crap

Man, this video made me lose some braincells!!.

Why is nobody talking about how Ardeth Bay says the same line when speaking Egyptian or Arabic in his 1st 3 lines in the movie but it means something different each time in english

It’s almost like he didn’t realize this movie is a remake of a 1930s movie.

Get Work go Broke. Nice job Looper.

I asked myself for over 20 years as to why Imhotep had such good vision from a doner with bad eyesight

It took me watching this movie when I got older to realize that at it's core it's just a glorified love triangle. Lol

It’s great to look back on movies with 2022 eyes lol

These movies weren’t made in the current “Woke” society 😂

It's said earlier in the movie that the curse would give him power over the sands

Winston was funny on Hogan's Heroes too

Since the movie is set in 1925 I would say it is surprisingly light on the amount of racism that would have been present. Does it seem bad a full 20 years later? Sure but many things set in a much more modern time that were filmed at the same time have aged less gracefully

If you really want something to ponder,make sense out of Picard and Kirk leaving the Nexus,I couldn't make any logical conclusion so I just decided 'hey ,what the heck,I like the movie anyway '

Sees bait title. Watches somebody crying over some something that doesn't look good for the woke. Yup! I'm unsubbing.

Problem #1 with Colonialism This whole thing is settled by a simple statement "Period Piece" because the Mummy takes place in a time and point in history where, lets face it, the English and Americans WERE using it as a playground to explore and experience. Heck, the Egyptians themselves advertised it as such and in some cases even encouraged it. Just wrote a piece on the Titanic, and turns out there was a 'Dragoman' aboard accompanying one of the passengers. He spent his entire life for just such people like the charachters in this film, as it was his way of life. Problem #2 with the Curse COMPLETELY 100% AGREE lol the Ancient Egyptians were stupid, and honestly the Maji guarding the spot shoulda destroyed the key and map when they had a chance. It was the one aspect of the movie I didn't get.... WHY GIVE HIM THE CHANCE TO BE RESURRECTED AT ALL?!?!? and not only resurrected, but also the ability to destroy the world lol Problem #3 'Unfortunate Punchlines' No issues here, ive met a LOT of smelly, sexist, greedy, and undesirable people in my 10+ years working retail... These kinda folks just EXIST, and lets be honest here..... he's the warden of a jail.... in Egypt.... who enjoys watching folks get hanged and even pokes fun at it....he's not gonna be the nicest, charming, and most trustworthy of fellas, i mean c'mon who are we kidding? And his charachter is honestly a good comedic relief for the movie at times. No reason to be offended, it just is what it is. As to the citizens fo Cairo being zombified.... thats just....well....they are zombies that follow Imhoteps command. Stereotypes exist for a reason, because they EXIST and we shouldnt blind ourselves to that. Problem #4 Papayrus: Well, I mean, this IS a legit criticism to the movie, as we see even in Indiana Jones that ancient paper is fragmented and brittle, but by the same token, we know Papayrus CAN survive for thousands of years relatively intact... and the mummy never did address exactly HOW it was stored before O'Connel got his hands on it. Still, I AGREE it is VERY unlikely the paper would have lasted so long. Problem #5 EYES Honestly I never did consider that, since Imhotep has regenerative abilities... I always just assumed that his own ability to regenerate must have corrected the vision somewhat. Woulda been comical to see him crashing around with blurred vision. Problem #6 Imhoteps changed 'Monster' personna: Never did think of it that way, but you're right... he wasn't out to conquor the world in the beginning... he just wanted his dead girlfriend back... creepy and full of bad points....but he wasn't a LITERAL MONSTER like we see later. Chalk that up as ANOTHER reason the Ancient Egyptians are dumb for dabbling in apocolyptic enducing curses lol Problem #7 Death and Destruction, Honestly I don't see this as THAT much of a problem... Benny is just greedy and doesnt seem too remorseful because he's now Imhoteps lackey, and the O'Connel party are basically focused on themselves and their own safety, which is why concern stays 'within the group'. They have interacted with eachother, but they dont really ahve enough time to develop a bond of trust and mutual caring. There is shock & awe when one of the American party dies, but its quickly put aside for the focus to be re-alighned with their own party. They started as competitors in greed... and as we see in the next point.... 'Graverobbers' lol ((Also, again, the Jail Warden.... Rick LITERALLY jumped overboard and left him on a burning ship... Evee was being harassed by him earlier, and Jonathan is just...well... Jonathan....so when he dies I can legit see why they are quick to move on. It's like a "Well okay then, so that was weird, but this is actually better now" kinda deal. Problem #8 Grave robbing: Again, a PERIOD PIECE where this sort of expedition to locate treasure and or ancient relics/artifacts was a very (sadly) NORMAL affair that the Egyptians often went alogn with. The Egyptians now frown on such behaviors but at the time it was not exactly this way... The Museums of the world are FILLED with artifacts and history that we would NEVER have seen, learned about, or experienced specifically because they started off with a discovery made out of greed. NOW....before someone gets on their soap-box.... I do NOT condone grave robbing, and I do expressely believe that nowadays this sort of thing should be done properly and by the proper archeological authorities. However this was 1923, and context is important to remember here.... much of the great Tombs of Egypt were UNEXPLORED, and in some cases there WERE vast cities and civilizations that had yet to be discovered... so the mentality was different back then. "Find it, dig it up, cash in on it, display it" was the general mentality for all of the world back then. Any nation who had proper FUNDING could seemingly enter Egypt and explore for such things... key word is FUNDING... money talks...and HISTORY......'walks' ((see what I did there lol)) Problem #9 "powers of the Mummy' I mean... he's a walking curse....and was buried in the Desert soooo isnt Sand a kinda LOGICAL thing to control? Doesnt he demonstrate the ability to control WATER as well in the Mummy 2 ? So maybe he just has an energy based ability to control the basic elements? Wind, Water, Fire, Earth etc? Controling the wind can account for his ability to scoop up all that sand, as well as some other quirks in his abilities....but i digress.... 'CURSED MUMMY' is explanation enough lol Problem #10 The Final Plague YES, I always wondered about this.... I agree 100% this is a major plothole in the film. I wonder if there is a deleted scene out there that might have the answer? Any movie scholars out there PLEASE fact check this one lol Problem #11 'Horror' I dont see this as a problem? It was meant to be a supernatural thriller... a reboot....reimagining...an homage to the great old classic adventure and horror films of the genre. I think this is a GREAT THING, not a problem? Why is it questionable? I mean CRAP.... those scarabs made my skin crawl when I first saw the movie, expeciially when it got under Jonathans skin UGH!!!!! still makes me cringe.... Yeah i dont get this one.... this was a GOOD element in the movie. The aspect of horror and uneasiness kept it from being TOO campy. ((WOOOOOOW this was a rant LOL)) I shoulda stuck to my initial "This is a period piece, nuff said" comment LOL but i cant help it XD I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

I'm black and Rick O'Connell is the GOAT They had a plan to sneak into the pyramid to infiltrate. They take 3 steps inside and Rick opens fire at 1 scarab 🐐🐐 🐐

I totally agree, the effects character deaths felt more cartoonist than realistic
