The Mummy Movie Review

Back in 1999, Brendan Fraser starred in a "modern" re-imagining of the classic Mummy subgenre of movies. Horror, adventure, history and the supernatural. Mummy movies were a staple of classic horror cinema, but were effectively non-existent from the 1960s onward.
Still, The Mummy was an attempt to modernize the classic tales for a newer audience.. and modernize it did! With top-of-the-line CGI that looked fantastic at the time, and now? It stands out like a sore thumb and very solidly dates this movie as being from the late 90s.
Still, it's one of the first movies people think about when they think of Brendan Fraser, so how does it fare overall in entertainment?

Honestly, the CGI isn't even that terrible. They really poured money and their souls into this movie and it shows. Plus it's not over the top. Maybe it's my inner child going back to the first time I watched this movie and me just being so amazed because I've never seen anything in a movie like that before. I still get the creeps when he is a rotten walking corpse.

@erikbihari3625 9 месяцев назад

People underestimate how good cgi was as an effect, it looked phenomenal in even early movies because of stylization, giving us a hightened version rather than replacement of reality!

@sebastianemond5313 Год назад

And it spawned an animated series, which I find did a better job with Alex O'Connell than Mummy Returns and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Not that I hate Returns, but it did repeat a lot of the first movie while also adding in a lot not needed, like Evie being a reincarnated Nefytiri, so we could have a cat fight with Anck-Sunamun. But it's an okay follow-up, unlike Dragon Emperor.

@shainewhite2781 Год назад

Before Stephen Sommers was picked to direct the film, Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, Clive Barker, George Romero, Mick Garris, and Joe Dante were considered for the project back in the early 90's. Sommers a huge fan of the original film, was picked after his last movie, DEEP RISING bombed at the box office in 1998. Before Brendan Fraser was cast, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Brad Pitt were considered.

I've been told that I used to watch this on tape when I was like 4 or something. We got the Mummy on tape from KFC when they used to do that here in Australia and I spent most of my time rewinding and playing the tape at like 4 years ago, the only time I cried about this movie was when I accidentally ruined the tape by watching it so many times. That's why this movie is a gem to me.
