They always say Uncharted (video game series) was inspired by Indiana Jones, but it's very Mummyish as well

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).

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.

Brendan Fraser was the king of kino for a few years, and represents a more fun, innocent era in entertainment.

They 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.

I 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.

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?
