I've gotta disagree - ONLY Brendan Frasier could and should have played that role.

I don't care what anyone says, nobody but Brendon Frasier could've pulled off this role. Not even Bruce Cambell/Kurt Russell.

This movie was probably the last classical adventure movie ever made.

Benny shaking those necklaces is probably my favourite scene in the movie. He even nailed the Chinese pronunciations.

I don't get the thing with Brendan Fraser. Personally, I just don't see this movie working with anybody else

Brendan Fraser is a national treasure

Fun fact: during the hanging scene, Fraiser actually did do the stunt, something went wrong, and he was nearly killed and revived because the failure

So much hatred about the CGI yet for the time it was pretty damn good, and this film is a fun film overall, I still love watching it whenever it’s on

The Mummy 1: A great adventure film The Mummy 2: A good adventure film The rest: wew lad...

Current Brendan Fraser just breaks my heart. Can someone just give that poor man a hug?

This movie jumpstarted my interest in Ancient Egypt, for that it will always be my favorite. was surprised to find that the real Imhotep was a really cool guy though.

Rachel Weisz is adorable in the first film and stunningly beautiful in the 2nd.

"Of course, having half your crew killed and your life threatened doesn't mean you can't get smashed the exact same night" That's what I'd wanna do. Why would I want to be sober after something like that?

The brother is one of my favourite characters, he cracks me up! I've watched this film easily hundreds of times, and I still enjoy it.

Fun fact: The actor who played Mr. Henderson auditioned for the role of Rick but failed, although the director liked his acting so he created the role of Mr. Henderson for him.

The mummy: Good movie The mummy returns: interesting for what it was Third mummy: No 2017 mummy: Not even gonna say anything.

I personally don’t think the CGI is THAT bad. It’s not great, but it’s not horrible either.

I love this movie. I loved it as a kid, and I still love it as an adult. I don't consider it a guilty pleasure. I consider it a legitimately good movie. The sequel, on the other hand, I do consider a guilty pleasure. The third one sucks. Hard.

This movie to a 13 year old me was both scary and hilarious. And I still really like it. Granted, it's not perfect, but no film is.

My theory is that Brendan Fraiser fooled around with Nostalgia Critics girlfriend at some point...

LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVERRR!

"SHUT UP AND WATCH SOMETHING BLACK AND WHITE!!" "NNNNNNEVERRRRRR!!!" I laughed so hard because it's like trying to get my partner to watch my favorite Vincent Price with me. It's so sad what good films he and others are missing because they can't handle no color.

Brendan is amazing for this role. He gives it his own additions. He is great and i love these movies and i love him

19:46 "Faster." "Patience is a virtue." "Not Right now it isn't." I'm I the only one who liked that line.

What I like loved about this and the Mummy Returns is both movies actually used the real Ancient Egyptian language. Granted as it is a dead language the pronunciation may not be correct but the fact they researched and had the actors using it is impressive. No they're not perfect but I enjoyed them and the music is amazing.

Not gonna lie this movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Brendan Fraser was my first big celebrity crush and this film is a big part of the reason why.

I hate when critics crap on old movies for having poor special effects. For god's sake, they did a good job with the technology they had at the time. It's like crapping on the 1981 Clash Of The Titans for using stop motion animation.

When Benny started preying in every single religion and he used that funny voice,I just laughed my ass off.

Brushing aside the cgi,this one's got a better storyline than the new 2017 movie remake that no one asked for.

To be honest, the mummy was some of the first CGI I ever saw and it convinced me for years he was real.

The reason the curse on Imhotep will make him the most powerful creature of the world is because the curse makes him never die completely and he is meant to be tortured for eternity

Fun fact this franchise made dwayne the rock johnsons career as an actor.

Rachel Weisz was my first major crush.

I just recently saw this movie for the first time, and I really enjoyed it, yes it's kinda silly, and yes some it's effects haven't aged well, but it's still really enjoyable.

Sorry Doug, but I couldn’t disagree with you more on this one. I think it works great as an action adventure film personally 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

What is Doug's beef with Brendan Fraser? He was super charming in this movie. He was purposely supposed to be the lovable rogue, and, in my opinion, he delivered. I still find the main characters in general pretty great. I love Jonathan. I love Evelyn. I love Rick. I love Ardeth. I even love Beni. The movie in general is still really enjoyable and entertaining. I've never watched this looking for a serious film. I first saw this when I was 10 and it's still a ridiculously amazing, campy, nostalgic ride. People have already complained about Doug's constant criticism of the bad graphics, which arguably is annoying. However, Doug also seems to forget what the graphics of that time were and acts like they were already great. Yeah, this was the year the Matrix came out, but it was also the year the Phantom Menace came out. Also, The Haunting came out that same exact year (which yes, did get referenced in the movie, but not really in the context that they were this close together) as well as like, Idle Hands. The graphics and the design of 1999 was kind of all over the place. Even The Matrix, arguably the best one in that list, has stuff in it that doesn't really hold up to the test of time (for example, the random ending where Neo decides to Superman out of there), but people still love it. Like, we get it, you adore the originals, and that's fine, but this review ends up feeling like you just were forced to do this remake and therefore didn't really give it much of a chance at all. This movie was never trying to be the original or even the original remake. It never made that claim. And Doug acted like he understood that, but then still insisted on comparing them. It just felt really mean spirited and bitter.

Doug, if you like the 1932 version better, that's fine. but saying the 1999 version is bad cuz it's action adventure and not horror is just wrong and very narrow minded.

Actually, messing with ancient corpses in Egypt at the time the movie was set in (roughly 1920s) would not be that weird. Okay, perhaps those in the museum would be a different matter, but in general, before the Egyptian tourist industry began, most Egyptians wouldn’t have cared for ancient, heathen corpses. Mummies were even ground up to be used in medicine and paint (which was also exported to the West, btw).

I would've GLADLY watched a Bruce Campbell mummy film. Benny's actor was also in van helsing. He played Igor in it. Not that my opinion matters.. But i love Brenden Fraser. His 90s/early millennium films are all imo decent

I actually think it would be really interesting if Nostalgia Critic actually did review some older black and white films.

One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies! I have to respectfully disagree with you opinion on Fraser in this movie though, half of the reason I think I enjoy this schlockfest so much is because of Brendan's very corny delivery. HEY O'CONNELL HEY O'CONNNNEEEELLLLLLL LOOKS TO ME LIKE WE GOT ALL THE HORSES!!! HEY BENNY! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIIIVERRRRRR!!!

I love the Boris Karloff movie to the point where even Doug Walker's reenactment of it gives me chills.

Man I love when NC and AVGN get together. Mutual respect between actors, mutual disrespect between characters. Cracks me up every time. 25:36 "Here's the link!" DONT ADVERTISE YOUR CHANNEL ON MY CHANNEL!

At least we can all agree that the "original" 1999 film is better than the 2017 remake.

What happened to our homie Brendan Fraser?

Brendan fraser was amazing for his role, that's why the series got 2 sequels, a spin off and a tv series

Honestly I love this movie. It's fun and sometimes that's all you really need.

Lets be clear the Boris Karloff Mummy was the original Horror The Mummy, while the Brandon Frasier Version was the original action adventure The Mummy. The only thing unoriginal about the Brandon Frasier film was its name. They are completely different films in completely different genre's, and the Tom Cruise the Mummy failed spectacularly as remake or reimagining of both.

So the main criticism is that the CGI is old. So what? The movie is from the 90's and not made by Steven Spielberg. It used what it had at the time. And besides, you keep beating the CG from this movie into the ground while there are plenty of movies that came out that same year or later with visuals that looked much worse. We can watch sophisticated shit sometimes, but other times we want to enjoy a nice popcorn flick. It's far from perfect, but damn if it isn't fun.

The movie turns 20 today! Still one of my dad’s favorites But I love the sequel better

As much as I love this movie and Brendan Fraser in it, you forgot "HEY BENI! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVEEEEEEEER!" As a derp line.

Brendan Fraser was perfection in this movie 💦the chemistry with Weisz was incredible and basically it's going to be a classic in 20 years so whatever 🤗

You know the movie is good when all critic is saying for 30 minutes is " BAD CGI! BAD CGI! BAD FRAISER! BAD CGI! ".

Brendan’s “derp” makes this movie pure gold.

Brenden Fraser in this movie was amazing I mean jusy gold, he had this rugged Indiana Jones Han Solo vibe. Like he KNEW a lot about the area he was in but it was more practical then bookish.

This reboot is not a masterpiece. But compared to the Tom Cruise one, it is.

I think I took Brendan Fraser for granted. I think a lot of people did. The guy is a genuinely good actor and has definitely entertained me over the years. Whether it's Airheads, Encino Man or George of the Jungle, with the right film and role, Fraser works well. It sucks that his career spiraled out of control with his box-office flops and his ex-wife being a terrible person taking all his money. I've read that he signed on for two new tv shows next year. Hopefully he can make a comeback. I'm going to go ahead and say it... I miss Brendan Fraser.

Were you on the rag when you made this video? The level of vitriol you spewed out was ridiculous. This was a VERY enjoyable action flick.The effects were fine seeing as how the film is 20 years old.10 years before Avatar, and these was no really good CGI back then. Maybe you like "messages" and films that preach at you for 2 hours or more , but me? I want a film that entertains me and is fun. Something I can watch over and over and just enjoy.

"I'm a stuntman! Have you seen those Mummy movies? I'm in them more than Brendan Frasier is."

Despite all of the cons Doug points out in this movie (even the really pointless shit), none of that stops this from being one of the greatest popcorn action flicks of the past 20 years. The writing is perfectly corny and slightly self-aware, Brendan Fraser's performance alone carried this whole movie, the effects were pretty damn good for 1999, the stunt choreography is rock solid and the soundtrack is right on point for the whole movie. With all due respect Doug, this movie is fucking awesome and no amount of "BRENDAN FRASER DERP FACE LOL" can bring it down.

dude these effects were so ahead of its time in 1999, they made their own cgi sand program. i think the effects still look pretty awesome

Who came back after watching him win best actor so we can say to the critic “That’s academy award winning Brendan Fraser to you!!!”

Rewatching and 3:12 when he shouts "Shut up and watch something black and white!" and Tamara responds "NEVER!" reminds me of an interaction myself and my little bro would have XD

Sorry, Critic, love ya but you got it wrong on this one. This is a very good movie. It's fun and funny, and there's nothing wrong with the CGI. Fraser and Weiss are great, as is the guy who plays the brother and the funny guy who serves Imhotep. I also love the music.

I can't be the only one who thinks Rachel Weisz was so goddamn beautiful in this movie. Growing up with this movie she was one of my biggest crushes. Still is but her smarts and attractiveness in this movie...

10:37 Rick: Aw, shit, here we go again

I would love to see a review on the actual original mummy movie I love the classic universal monster movie

I think that the 1999 "Mummy" was a really good adventure movie. Of course it is not a masterpiece but it's climatic, well acted and the soundtrack was pretty awesome too. I was impressed as a 8 years old boy when it came out. It has not aged that bad, seriously. I like some of NC reviews but I don't find this one particularly funny. Too much forced humor. He's not convincing at all.

This movie is pop corn fest of fun. It's a good kind a cheese.

You can hate this movie all you want but it has gained a cult following that’s very well deserved. This movie made me fall in love with Egypt and history as well as introduced me to the marvelous acting of Brandon Frasier ❤

Since I just stayed up until 3am two nights ago watching this and the sequel.... I'd say, yes it holds up!

Love this movie. It is one of my childhood movies

Criticising the effects of this movie seems like a far stretch to find some more flaws. The effects are actually pretty good for 1999, and hold up well enough. Besides, this movie is still a fun, entertaining action adventure.

Wanna know where he grabbed that gold from? Cinema Sins already told us: "Imhotep literally pulls gold out of his ass". 🤣

*9:56* Hah! Jokes on you critic. I have -what are we talking about? Also! The Brendan Fraser Mummy are favorites! The first two anyway... We don't speak of the Jet Li Mummy (he was cool but Fuck no)

I think this is the first time I have really disagreed with Doug. Is it an Oscar winner? No, but what it is, is a really fun 90s film that I think really holds up in terms of effects and acting. If you wanted to review a bad movie he should have reviewed the sequels!

Should we tell him there's a sequel?

0:41 That score though ❤️

yes, the original is good. But this is just more ... fun?

The CGI now days is very hit and miss looking back at this movie, some of it looks better than others. Still love this movie though, it's one of those good old comfort movies for me. Loved your review though. And yes, I will keep hearing Bartok from Anastasia now, dammit NC :P

Not sure if this criticism is forced or intentional. It was a cool action movie, and as for the effects, there were much worse things in the 1990s.

Really felt like you were kinda pointlessly nitpicking on this one critic. Like complaining about the guy screaming at 11:30. What was he supposed to do? Bust out in a happy jig as a bug was eating him from the inside out?

Can you please do a review of 'The Mummy Returns' and 'Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer'. You'd definitely have loads to talk about with them.

the effects are NOT that bad, specially for the time but its the EASIEST joke he can reach for, so of course he goes for it every time.

I think you're hatred on Fraser in this film is unjustified and this movie when it came out, the CGI wasn't even bad, far from it, also you missed out on John Hannah's character, being one of the best parts of the film. It's a good remake as it doesn't try to better the source material and just takes the basic premise and uses it well for an action adventure film.

1999 movie is amazing, what are you talking about?

Honesty Boris karlov was a amazing actor , I loved him as Frankenstein's monster I may be young but you can never beat the classics

funny fact about the scene he mistakes evelyn for anaksunamun or whatver her name was. the mummy took the eyes from the guy with poor eye sight just after he broke his glasses. so he now has bad eye sight too and his vision was all blurred. it wasn't very obvious but it's there.

The Mummy's Soundtrack is just so Awsome!!

"Shut up and watch something black and white" "Neveeeeeerrrr" Sounds like a conversation with my ex

At least the cgi wasnt spawn devil bad

That "...Man" and "Ya know" joke fell flatter than a pancake without baking powder

Yeah, anyway, the 1999 Mummy movie is one of the best cheesy action adventure movies ever made and still holds up after almost 20 years. Hell, even the sequel and the Scorpion King spin-off movie are pretty good in their own way. Honestly, I think the biggest crime is that the Mummy never got a third movie before being rebooted into a piece of shit. They only made the Mummy and The Mummy Returns, then did the Scorpion King spin off. Its a real shame.

I liked the first Brenden Fraser one a lot. It came out when I was 7, and I loved it. When he screamed at the mummy that had just roared at him, I lost it. Still do. Lol 2 was just bad imo. I never saw 3 Thankfully avoided the Tom cruise one.

Say what you will about this movie, but I enjoy it. My local theater does this thing called Flashback Cinema where they play old films. They played The Mummy recently and it was packed like it was a Marvel movie. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. It clearly has a fanbase.

For someone who complains about outdated cgi and bad comic relief, he sure loves using outdated memes and forced humor

Relative to most Hollywood reboots, The Mummy is one of the smartest and most creative films ever made. They knew not to attempt a recreation and they focused on making a fun movie. The original Fraser Mummy is still one of my favorite movies. Weird how in 2017 we're still getting lazy and soulless reboots, when in 1999 some people said, "fuck it, let's have Fraser fight CGI," and it actually worked both as a film, and as a financial investment.

12:45 Or WILL SMITH Wild Wild West. "I'm not working" scene

I just noticed, but at 18:33 Rachel Weisz gets her head caved in by the door frame!!!😂😂😂
