Better than Indiana Jones.
>>212842933 (OP)>they canceled the Mummy 4 to make that Tom Cruise versionWe live on a shit timeline
>>212842933 (OP)They always say Uncharted (video game series) was inspired by Indiana Jones, but it's very Mummyish as well
>>212842973Faggily formatted but correct.
>>212842933 (OP)Dips into the fantastic too quickly. Once fantasy is on the table, any situation can just be magicked out of (oh look, a spell to make the zombies kill the pharaoh zombie - how convenient!). IJ waits until the tail end so that you feel like the stakes are always real at every step but the last (and the step on the invisible bridge but I digress).
>>212842933 (OP)yeah it's based
>>212843175too be fair, the mummy 2 is ass and the mummy 3 is good but not as good as the ot indiana jones films
>>212842933 (OP)Thread reminder that Van Helsing (Hugh Jacked-man) is O'Connell's grandpa. Same secret anti-monster order. Same director. Same family lineage of monster hunters with the hand tattoos.
>>212842973More like Indiana Politically Correct
>>212843425A 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy is better than another shit Tom Cruise movie
>>212842933 (OP)I can watch the first movie anytime, fucking classic.
>>212842933 (OP)Brendan Fraser was the king of kino for a few years, and represents a more fun, innocent era in entertainment.
>>212843343They are trying to accomplish different things. Mummy jumps right in because both the characters and audience need to know the fantastic elements are real for the story to play out. Indiana Jones slows plays it because most of the story is about discovering that it is actually real.
>>212843425>the mummy 2 is assI swear, am I the only person on planet earth who likes the second movie? Yeah, it's not as good as the first, but I still enjoy it a lot.
>>212844878the kid ruins it and it's basically just 1 again, 3 has cool fight scenes and is like more aware it's a silly action film sequel
Could Brendan still do it? He say's he's beyond open to it. Could one last romp through the sands of Egypt crack a good number at the box office?
The way he exited the series, the time in between that, the triumphant comeback; could one more be a possibility?
