I guess it's got a kind of nostalgic charm for some people, but I still think it's a really weak film. But a pulpy, fun Indiana Jones-esque romp that doesn't take itself too seriously? In that regard it succeeds on nearly every level, and was just as entertaining yesterday as it was nearly 20 years ago.Īnyone else think 1999's The Mummy is friggin' awesome? Nosferatu meets Lawrence of Arabia this is not. What this long-winded intro is driving at is this: The Mummy totally holds up, and is severely underrated, if you enter with the proper expectations. It had honestly settled into a sort of "guilty pleasure" nostalgia nexus to collect cobwebs along with Dragonball Z and The Pagemaster. I'm 26 now and before yesterday I probably hadn't sat down and watched the entire thing in a good 6-7 years. I'd say the only films I've seen more times from beginning to end would probably be Jaws, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Fugitive (thanks TNT), but unlike those other films, I hadn't continued watching it religiously into my adulthood. It's one I owned on VHS as a youngling (born in '91) and watched damn near every day. This latest abominable remake got my nostalgia-senses tingling, so I decided to re-watch one of my childhood favorites, the 1999 version of The Mummy.
