THE MUMMY (1999) | MOVIE REACTION! | FIRST TIME WATCHING 

That Mummy had the misfortune of taking the eyes from the only guy who was like a -7 prescription 😂 No wonder he needed Beni’s help, he couldn’t see where he was bloody going.

Brendan Fraser has 2 underrated movies you definitely need to check out. Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley and Blast From The Past with Alicia Silverstone.

My favorite part is that they gave their pilot Winston his wish. One last mission for him to go out in a blaze of glory and be buried in the sands just like his comrades. Most tend to miss that Wilson went out with a smile on his face dying the death he wanted.

"Harsh treatment for touching a lady" "It must be bad to be condemned, for touching a lady" He murdered the Pharoah, the affair hardly mattered

Brendan Fraser is a national treasure and must be protected. One of the most wholesome men on the planet, who went through some very awful stuff that caused him to stop his acting career for many years. Very glad he's back, we love him. Also, a 'broad' is a term from the 1950's in America that is slang for a promiscuous woman, someone who's got a 'broad' clientele, if you catch my meaning. Camels are quite fast and were used in the Middle East for cavalry (called "camelry") due to their ability to withstand the climate better than horses, and because horses don't like camels so enemy cavalry would have a harder time controlling their mounts. And your pronunciation of Cleopatra is adorable lol

The amount of reactors that classify this as a scary movie confuses me. It's an action/adventure. Yes, there are "horrific" things in it, but it's not meant to frighten. Like, you wouldn't classify Men In Black as a scary movie cause the Edgar Bug sticks dead bodies to the ceiling, or snaps people in half. It's the same thing.

Pleaaase please watch the second part: The Mummy Returns, and if you want more of Brendan Fraser I kindly recommend you to watch George of the Jungle ❤❤❤

I freaking LOVE this movie. Used to watch it all the time it aired on the tv back in the day and it is still one of my favorites. It made me love Egyptian "lore" and also, made me have a gigantic crush on Rachel and Brendan ahha

rachel weisz is a gem in everything she does. here she is effortlessly charming, even with the crime they committed on her eyebrows

Great movie. If you're not familiar with Brenden Fraser, you really should react to George of the Jungle. Great comedy starring Brendon.

OMG a classic among classics. Thank you Mary for finally watching this. 😍😍

What you likely fail to appreciate is the effects of this film, which were groundbreaking at the time, but have since been imitated so often they're common tropes of CG infested films today. It wasn't even nominated for visual effects at the Oscars (and The Phantom Menace was 🤮). I must admit being more fond of The Mummy Returns than I am of The Mummy. Hope you add it to a poll someday (a poll of sequels, to be fair).

I loved The Whale. It's probably too dull for general audiences so I don't know if the views will do good on YT, but the performances are really moving.

You waited until you are a mummy yourself ;-) Both movies are a good set. Scare-abs and humor. Perfect for Halloween.

13:00 Ur camel impression had me dying laughing 🤣

This movie, aside from being quite entertaining, has always had a place in my heart because Rick & Evelyn are also my parents' names, lol.

One of the last swashbuckling adventure movies and a great one. I couldn't get enough of this movie when it came out. Brendan Fraser was great as O'Connell, Rachel Wies was beautiful, and Arnold Vaslo was a great villain. They just don't make adventure movies like this any more.

Beni and Jonathan totally made the movie. I watch this everytime i come across it.

Another fantastic reaction. Here's some suggestions: Cleopatra (1963); Stargate (1994); Indiana Jones: Raiders Of The Lost Arc (1981). Never, never, never see Gods Of Egypt (2016).

The movie that fueled my dream to become a librarian, just so I could say it like Evie does 😂

30:29 "Oh my God, he _did_ get some stuff!" Yes, but no one realizes the treasure's there yet. You see, that was originally _Beni's_ camel.

Brandon Fraser movies I would recommend is Encino Man, George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right, Airheads, and Inkheart. I know he's done lots more but these are my favorites.

Brendan Fraiser is one of the most down to earth people in the industry. As you said in the open he won a bunch of awards last year but more than anything people in the industry and fans wanted him to succeed and be happy again. He’s had some tough luck and moments in his career while always staying positive and respected. It’s great to see him getting his moment in the Sun again.

This movie is a perfect gateway to talk about Pauly Shore movies, specifically starting with Encino Man, since it also stars Brendan Fraser. But if you want 90s comedy in a nutshell, Pauly Shore's comedies are an excellent window into that time.

Imhotep used Benny because he spoke Hebrew and in ancient Egypt they used the Jews as slaves. So he was using him as HIS slave basically.

9:34 - "What is 'broad'?" - It's an old, somewhat derogatory slang word for a woman. 9:36 - "That seems awful." - Originally, that's how most hangings were carried out. Hanging had been in use as an execution method for a long time before anyone figured out that if you dropped the person a sizable distance with a rope around their neck, it would snap their neck and kill them. It was many years after that, that they figured out how to precisely calculate the distance of the drop to break the person's neck without either strangling them, or decapitating them. 10:00 - "So many words I've never heard before." - "Flimflam" = scam. 18:07 - "Oh yeah, that was one of the plagues, right? The crickets?" - Locusts. The sequel, The Mummy Returns is also worth watching. It's pretty much more of the same. After that, the sequels get worse.

camels in sand = faster than horses in sand horses in firmer soil = faster than camels in firmer soil

So to answer your question, I coincidentally watched The Whale earlier this week. It has fantastic acting, not just by Brenden Frazier, although he was the best. Hated the movie, though. So depressing with a bummer ending that was clearly telegraphed from the very beginning. It's one of those movies that sets out to make a point about an issue and then builds the movie around it rather than setting out to tell a great story and maybe include a message. I'm sure it is critically acclaimed for the issues raised and the good acting, but it's just not enjoyable.

5:58 She begins her transformation into the sandworm form. :D

Believe me you don’t want to ride a camel. They reek, they spit, and I have heard that they bite.🐪

the derogatory term "broad" was used to refer to women in the 1970's, particularly in the United States. The term was often used in a demeaning way. "Flimflam" reached its peak usage in the 1920s and 1930s, when con artists and grifters were more prevalent in society. It refers to something that is false or deceptive, and is often used to describe a swindle or a con. Derived from the old English phrase "flim-flam flummox," which meant to confuse or perplex someone.

If you travel to Cairo Egypt to visit the pyramids, you can ride a camel for about 10-20 minutes out into the desert around the pyramids and back with a guide.

PLEASE WATCH THE WHALE!!! Lol very good. Don’t want to say anything, going in blind is good. But he did win an Oscar for his performance.

The words that you're having problem with are old early 19th century American slang. Broad means woman, and flim flam means scam.

I don't know why but we have a high school in Philadelphia named Imhotep.

16:16. Librarian here (in case the user name is anything ambiguous). One thing I deeply dislike in this film is saying that the lady is a librarian. This is a service profession; it's meant to help people to find information they need, enjoyment they like, inspiration to overcome adversity. We are there for the users, not for our own advancement. This lady is as much a librarian as Indiana Jones is an archeologist (treasure hunter or grave robber would be more accurate in his case). Geez. I wonder whether the writers ever talked to a librarian in their lives...

The Mummy Returns is fun as well. I didn't see the others. There is a bit of Egyptian stuff in Young Sherlock Holmes (1985). It features the first photoreal computer generated character in film history.

Should definitely watch "The Whale," and have some tissues handy.

Imhotep wasn't cursed for touching the pharaohs mistress. He was cursed for murdering the pharaoh.

26:51 Even the Camel doesn't like him... *Bwhahaha.*

A Halloween movie should be anything related to the supernatural the end. As a kid I enjoyed Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein when they'd play that around this time in the 60's. A comedy which featured the classic 'monsters'. As far as Evie, we know the only thing that frightens her are Rick O'Connell's manners. The sequel is excellent and if you enjoyed this director's style, then the follow up to these - Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman - is worth a watch.

FANTASTIC MOVIE!! 👍😎👍

You know who I think is Handsome, That guy 😂100% agree 👍

All my bi and homosexual friends say that THIS movie was their awakening. Especially for the Bi people. Like, why is everyone SO HOT in this movie?? We get that it is in the desert, but damn.

My uncle was production designer for this movie. He had all the props in his house

Not sure what French Foreign Legion doing in Egypt in 1923???

Not allowing to touch, and monogamous are two different things. There are stories of royalty drowning because they fell in a river, and people just watched. Because if they touched them, they would be killed.

If you want a Scary movie that's not scary now. The Night of the Demon A great old B&W with special effect that were great at the time but won't keep you awake at night noe😂

One of the best 90s films. The sequel is fun too, just avoid the third one. Rachel Weiss chose not to sign up and without her it just isn't the same.

Another great reaction including your coping mechanism to deal with the terror of The Mummy. I also use humor as a coping mechanism but while mine is really bad yours is adorable.😂❤ Here's a Thank you.

I don't know if anybody cares, but on 20:00 when the subs says '[in Ancient Egyptian]' it's actually Hebrew.

Hi Mary. Have you seen The Ring (1998). It's a Japanese horror movie, would be perfect for October! :D

Evie/Rachel Weisz has been married to Daniel Craig (the most recent James Bond) since 2011.

the 1930s universal horror movies might be good watching for halloween. great films but nothing thats going to make you queasy.

I have never heard the word polyglot before now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, especially in context. Thank you for educating me ❤

Though it's a series and not a movie, I really think you'd enjoy The Haunting of Hill House. Yes, it's scary, but it's also a beautiful family drama. 😀

If you’re looking for less scary spooky season movies, I think you would really enjoy “Army Of Darkness”. Technically it’s a sequel, but it works well as a stand alone flick without watching “Evil Dead” first.

What kind of book shelving that tall isn't anchored to all the other shelves or the wall? I have tons of books. All my shelves are anchored so I don't tip them accidentally, or so they don't tip if grands climb on them (which they do if I'm not around for a minute). It's like cat trees - they have to have a wide base or an anti-tip anchor point. Same with fire poles. Same with stripper poles. Well, so I've heard. 🤔🤔🤔

Your coping skill of bad jokes is actually simple jokes, not bad.

Oh, please, please, please do more Brendan Fraser movies. He's one of the best.

YESSSSSS! Don’t stop with the first one 🤗

Brendan Fraser is great actor. Mostly he's known for his comedy roles, but he's got some great dramatic movies. Try Extraordinary Measures (2010) for a real tear-jerker!

The faces you made at 5:59 & 6:00 ... 😘

Honestly….. who would have their bookcases like that?

Great movie! I'm so happy you watched it

Rip Winston!! 💔😭😭😭

Are you my mummy? If you know, you know.

Riding a camel is the worst experience I have ever had, these beasts are uncomfortable af. I'm not riding one ever again.

Fun movie! Great job!

Thanks!

Fakushka Anaksunamun. From now on you should swear with that, you won't have to censor on RU-vid.

You should absolutely check out School Ties for some more Brendan Fraser goodness. Also features a young Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (among several other people who have had really strong careers). It's about a Jewish kid who gets brought in to play football at an elite boarding school, who has to hide his religion due to anti-Semitism prevalent at the time among his rich, WASP-y classmates. Great movie.

Leuke film, bedankt Marijke!

Rachel Weisz 🤌

I noticed at the right angle you almost look like Rachel Weisz

watch scorpion king before return of the mummy cause this story's connect there

should watch The Burbs with tom hanks

Yes, there is new Cleopathra movie. No, I dont recommend watching it as its an insult to Egyptian culture and Netflix is getting sued because of it.

3:46 based

If you want to see a movie with mummies that don't frighten you, including some comedy, you should watch "Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec"

Yes. We need a gun that launches cats.

Time for scary stuff 🎃

This is a good mix of Action, Drama, Horror and the story is scary. The sequel is so-so. Well I suggested and will suggest again a Crime, Action, Horror movie called ""THE RUSSIAN JOB""...it's about a Serial Killer of Russian girls in Hollywood. I saw it free here on RU-vid. Try to keep your mouth vomit scenes a little less🤪

I'm not sure if you're into gaming, but if you like the Egyptian mythology stuff you should check out Tomb Raider 4 (it might be hard to find, it was for the original Playstation). It's got a very similar feel to this kind of movie, and is also one of the best Tomb Raider games.

What? You hadn't watched this movie yet? But you've been a "Mommy" for a few months now... You need to know how to look after your kid when a Mummy comes after... {Oh, wait that's in part 2... ;)

So, you're into Egypt stuff and you HAVEN'T seen Stargate?!? Mary, this needs to be rectified A.S.A.P!!!

6:00 stop complaining, not so many movies with so strong Indiana Johnes vibe, its pure fun 30:08 then watch Deuce Bigalow :P

you are one of my favorite reactors and so glad you use subtitles in your film clips... helps if the sound volume is way different from the reaction... good luck in life with your new baby

It’s funny, in this movie the villain is named Imhotep, which was the vizier, chancellor, architect and high priest of Ra to the pharaoh Djoser (the only thing this movie gets correct, slightly lol) and designed the step pyramid for him, which lead to the eventual design of the pyramids we know at Giza. He was also a physician and if memory serves, he wrote an interesting bit on cancer. Long after his death he was heralded as a man of wisdom and great knowledge, deified by the people that remembered his name. Also, the book of the dead is very misunderstood, it’s actual name is the book of going forth by day, and was basically just a guide on how to prepare the body for the afterlife and the rituals and spells one would need to ensure safe passage beyond. It’s really cool, I have a copy and it’s really beautiful. By the way, Hamunaptra is a fictional place, it never existed.

I thought this movie was kind of silly and campy, but a lot of people really enjoyed it. It has two sequels that you might consider checking out. There was another movie of the same title starring Tom Cruise that got mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it. It was intended to be first in a revival of Universal Pictures' monster movies in a unified franchise, but that effort was abandoned. Another movie that explores Egyptian mythology from a different direction is Stargate. It's pretty good science fiction, and it spawned three television series. It has a devoted cult following. (Stargate opened in the cinema at about the same time as Star Trek: Generations. One of the promos for Stargate said "If you want real science fiction, forget Star Trek and see Stargate," or words to that effect.)

Whale was a great movie, you would not recognize him.

They're using old terms and phrases like hokum, flimflam, etc. from the 40s. Also, in those days women weren't regarded as scholars, etc. as much and were looked down to in 'serious' studies or situations.

Ah, the movie where young men all of the world fell for Rachel Weisz.

I've been to a number of countries and see things like Great Wall, the Colosseum, etc, etc, etc. The Great Pyramids at Giza really stand out. Their massive size really show just how large the civilization that built them must have been. You can't really appreciate their scale until you are there. They totally dominate the city of Cairo, the blocks at the base are twice your size. If you stay at one of the hotels that are near them, the sides of the pyramids are the only thing you can see out your window. The pyramids are definitely the wonder of the world I would say people must see.

Broad is very dismissive and disrespectful term. It's so old though that most people would be confused or laugh if you said it.

Aronofsky movies are an exercise in pain. Good if you can take it. I like the Wrestler

Guilty pleasure. Not great cinematic art but very entertaining.

Rachel Weisz is great in a movie called swept from the sea with Vincent Perez and Kathy Bates and Ian McKellen... epic time period romance

But this movie is humorous and not horror🤣

Great reaction. Brendan Fraser is not well known as a serious actor but you might want to check out "Gods and Monsters" a charming film.
