No doubt my friend, I'm about to smoke a pipe, get twisted on that goodie good and watch the Mummy again.

I agree 💯%

Right?! LOL even the movie itself admitted that Princess Ahmanet is hella lame compared to Imhotep.

there was a 2017 mummy?

The best Mummy will always be The 1932 Boris Karloff version.

There's some Army of Darkness in there as well.

This movie is the literal definition of perfection.

Egyptian evil dead

Not even. 😂

I love that! 👌

But first they need to make Encino Man 2.

They're generally fun to watch and I bet fun to make.

Man, I would LOVE to see him and Rachel Weisz do another Mummy movie. Or vampires. Or werewolves. Anything. I would love to see Rick and Evelyn back to kicking anything's ass.

As long as we get the same director and not the one behind the 3rd movie.

I think he would want to anything at this point

Litheran iconic line!

Dream job

Only the best for him!

Nkanyiso Innocent Khwane he did a great job playing robotman in doom patrol

Fuck yeah, dude, that moment when Benny realises it, pure gold.

This is such a quotable movie, that scene on the river is my mother's favorite.

Yeah, that and, "Looks like you just got promoted."

@@username12120 Benny had it coming XD

I'll be honest. I never understood how "being on the wrong side of the river" was such an irritating moment for Benny. My guess was always that it would've taken him longer than Rick to reach Hamunaptra, though it doesn't entirely makes much sense.

Emil Garcia Was* Too late now.

Noob

I hadn't even thought about that and now i'm angry they didn't. Universal had gold in their hands, and we got Dracula Unchained and Tom Cruise yelling.

Maybe they could still continue that idea in another medium. Kudos to that man, excellent idea.

You can check the video of Fact Fiend about this... (A Dark Universe) The video is very interesting and gives an insight to why The Mummy Reboot didn´t work too... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erKSqJOgqrKVko0.html

Don't do that. Don't make me dream of what could have been.

@@ptlemon1101 Life is meant to make us suffer, my friend. At least you won't be suffering alone. *weeps over what could have been*

Oh MAN, I could see that. And Jonathan could be reintroduced when the Demeter crashes into London and all hell breaks loose. Like, he tried really hard to stay out of the shenanigans this time, and instead the shenanigans came and found him.

Aaaaand people on youtube just wrote a better sequel than hollywood

Please God give me this movie right now

Actually it had everything Indy had - charming team of protagonists, nice mixture of adventure & humour and an epic soundtrack.

Because it was meant as a sort of action adventure horror movie and by all it really is that good . I mean not great but still one good remake of a classic that has become a classic on it's own right . Many critics at the time blasted it as a lame CGI monstrosity and said that people should buy tickets for the phantom menace instead of this but we all know how it turned out . The main reason I like it is because it has charming charecters and an all around good story with solid performances and A okay sequel.

So did I

More like Nick and Nora Charles.

I appreciate these references, and I alwayys wanted the same thing to happen in the grand scheme of the Universal Monsters. Have the O'Connells team up with Van Helsing to fight Dracula or Frankenstein's monster etc.

Yeahhh man. Ed & lorraine monster version. Horror + goofy. What a universes they would've got instead of that crappy mission impossible: mummy. What a missed opportunity 😭. I missed rick & eve combo

But isn't that what the third one was about?

Eh, Nathan Drake is more lackadaisical, while Brendan Fraser definitely has more of "I'm done with this crap" kind of attitude.

@@chrisossu2070 I'd argue that the two characters are pretty similar Nathan likes to explore the unknown and seek out treasures (so he could plunder and sell them). Nathan would often find himself in precarious situations and forced to become the reluctant hero of the story. Brendan, or Rick O'Connell, is a mercenary that works for money and became a reluctant hero at the end, motivated by his love for Evelyn. Both characters are charming, quick witted and they both have that sense of adventure about them. That's why I think they are very similar to each other.

@MassiveKitten Fire so, you're no longer interested in uncharted?

@@chrisossu2070 Malcolm Reynolds closer in style?

They are very much alilke.

r/themummymemes

Let's not forget Arnold Vosloo playing Imhotep. With his performance he contributed to the movie in ways I can't even describe.

We call this....subverting expect-[eaten by mummy]

@@sblinder1978 lol good one

@@slimandnone__6545 thank you for introducing me to this subreddit. Its lovely

dani b something like that

“I am....a librarian”

Gal methinks

The thrilling adventure of digging shovel tests, the romance of 1X1s, the panoramic vistas of pedestrian survey...and depressingly few secret societies of power-mad Sumerian mages desperate to recover that unidentifiable lump of rusty iron. But you do get to travel a lot and work in remote towns in the backwaters of America. So at least there’s a higher than average chance of encountering some cannibal hillbillies.

Nonsense. We DIG!

Kara Cooney makes being an Egyptologist seem pretty interesting

I hope you're happy.

You need to find Hamunaptra and save Beni. You still have time Logan

And the scene where one of tge bad guy looses his glasses. And walking blindly. Damn that scene just haunting. That's why i love this freaking franchise. It knows when to be scary & when to be foolish

Instead we got.. the rock 😒

Nothing could have been worse ​@@mxtw7910

Jerry Goldsmith is on parr with Williams if you ask me. They're in the same teaparty. R.i.p.

Marius agreed

Me too!

@@Fnelrbnef Agree, also. I have many Jerry Goldsmith soundtracks and I honestly think he was more talented than John Williams. I know the Mummy by heart and the soundtrack by heart, too.

I know, right?

Dude saaaaame

I can't get the idea out of my head now. I love it!

I neeeed it

Would have been legendary

This might be the best description I have ever seen for The Mummy.

what is your list of Indi movies?

FOURTH best Indiana Jones movie.

I still think The Mummy is just as good as the Indy movies!!!

@Degree7 Agreed. I enjoyed the absolute hell out of The Mummy when I was a kid, and I still do, but when you peel the layers back it definitely does seem to straddle that line of being a really fun original film or a really well done parody of the genre

r/themummymemes

Dude I cared about every character in the movie.

I love it but as a kid all I could remember were the scenes where Imotep was sealed up with the beetles, and then when Benny got traped with them ugg (don't get me wrong Benny was a greedy cowardly scum bag but even he did not deserve that). I could not remember where it came from for the longest time (until I saw the movie again years later) but they gave me nightmares for quite a while. Being bound so tightly that I was unable to move at all or just locked in place without the bindings while unseen things crawled over doing god knows what to me "shudders".

i love the Mummy Returns, i really enjoy it, but i do admit that there first one is better. I really liked the idea of Evie being a reincarnation fo an egyptian princess though.... ahah

The first movie is amazing, returns was still good but a tad less, and the third movie lost the charm. We don't talk about the Tom Cruise movie.

@@jebediah_primm4855 the third movie lost its charm because Evie wasn't Rachael Weisz anymore.

@@mykey657 that was the biggest upset for me. I think it would have way better with her in it. Brendan's and Rachael's chemistry was intoxicating

r/themummymemes is also underrated. We need more subs

Me too!! As a matter of fact this movie is what started my love of mythology. As I started researching Egyptian mythology, then Greek, then Roman, and so on. I love reading about mythology to this very day. 😍

Thats me three of us. Egypt is where I'm meant to be. Since I was a kid.

Me four! I got so into Egyptology and ancient Egyptian lore because of this movie.

John Mendoza Until you realize it's overly romanticized Hollywood magic you love. Actual Egypt will kill you for you politics or nonconformity to Islam.

me FIVE! I grew up thinking Egypt was creepy but the moment I saw this movie my opinions made a quick turn.

I like how this one gets called the original.

@@pwnorbepwned yeah well, if you're going to remake something you might as well do it so well that people forget the actual original ever existed. If you can't consider making something new instead.

Yes I agree exactly because that is what Tom Cruise Mummy does. It's like they forget that we the audience want an experience not just some scenes on a screen.

"The Adventures of Tintin" (2011) is that! It's a hybrid between animation and a feature movie but carries the same spirit. I think what the other movies miss is not simply self-awareness... it's innocence. That's what Star Wars had. That's what seems to be lost these days.

IDK I think the recent Jumanji reboot/sequel did funny and self aware adventure film pretty well

movies try to be what the audience can connect to. I see PEOPLE try to be outlandish, funny, self-aware, etc..and I just look at them with a certain.."I don't like what you're doing" look. But that's just the era we live in. We have so much information so quickly and it all blends together..with media..that the newer generation is EVEN MORE of "know-it-alls" than before. And they try to incoporate all those ideas into one thing. Well, the movies have ALWAYS tried to connect with it's audiences by using the mindset the audiences have...and that's why our t.v. shows and movies are turning out to be the way they are.

Justinian Details i love jumanji but the mummy is farrrrr wayyyy above

with love false or true oh man! I just commented this

Did she really said that? Or fanmade

@@Bampiss she did..it was when she was drunk

Dustin Smith the fact that rachel weisz is not there also make it not legit

You're right! I'm still waiting on the 3rd!

Oh ya

The CGI Dwayne Johnson Scorpion thing looked atrocious, even for an early 2000's movie, but other then that, I agree. The Mummy Returns is almost every bit as fun as the first one. They didn't go wrong until the third one and beyond.

Actually no. The Mummy Returns takes itself even more serious that it just feels unoriginal.

Same thing - 2nd one did right

I've watch the second one more times than the first

Me too :(

Say it louder to the people in the back.

The problem most writers who want to subvert tropes or flip archetypes have is that they don't understand them well enough to do so. They are beginners attempting tricks only a master can pull off and it's painfully obvious to the audience every time it happens.

@@RandomCarrot2806 I don't think I agree with that. Trope subversion is hardly the domain of master writers. Anyone can subvert a trope - most classic tropes simply don't merit subversion. Every trope has its opposite or subverted form - but not all of those subverted forms are worth remembering or are inspiring. Classical tropes are classic precisely because they work at inspiring and being compelling narratives. Are there trope subversions done well? Absolutely. And they're usually really bad tropes. And subverting them effectively doesn't really take much skill. Can skill at writing help you subvert them more effectively? Yes. But no writer, no matter how masterful, can turn a good, classic trope on its head and still expect it to make a good story.

If you try to subvert a trope without understanding the trope then your attempt will fall flat every time. Understanding and subverting a trope effectively shows mastery of that trope making you a master of it, maybe we have different definitions of what a master is? I disagree completely that subverting or turning a good trope on it's head can't result in a good story. You get the bad, the confusing and the forgettable subversion of tropes when the writer does not understand the trope or why it exists. Bad writers think their job is done by just flipping the surface of the story on it's head when attempting subversion but they forget about the underlying structure of it all.

@@RandomCarrot2806 I never said subverting tropes automatically makes a story bad. I said no matter how masterful a writer is, subverting a GOOD, CLASSIC trope cannot be expected to make a good story. Plenty of tropes deserve subversion. Plenty of others are far, FAR better if they are NOT subverted. My point is that it's not the writer's mastery of writing that makes trope subversion work or not - it has far more to do with WHICH tropes they are subverting.

Lol

The soundtrack in this film was phenomenal.

Gipsy Danger it really isn’t given enough credit it’s close to perfection

If you never saw it, the tv show made it 3/4 seasons and it was super fun. It had the same joyful campiness as The Mummy.

The Librarians gave me the same energy Xena and Hercules. I loved that show.
