The Mummy (1999)
Rewatched it for the first time since I saw it in the theater, and it really holds up as a jump-scare, gross-out horror(?) movie
It's as much action as horror and there's not many moments of drawn out tension, so it doesn't bother me like horror movies usually do (but I do mute the TV whenever someone's about to get attacked)
I like that Brendan Fraser's character is simply firing two guns at all times, for every situation, including into a sandstorm
The Mummy Returns (2001)
Boy oh boy, after the practical effects I liked so much early on in this movie, the horrendous computer rendered Dwayne Johnson scorpion man is a real kick in the teeth
It's not a bad sequel, I enjoyed watching it, I especially appreciate that the O'Connells are too horny for each other to care about their idiot son
Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun are also extremely horny, it's a shame making out is illegal in movies now
The Mummy Returns (2001)
The first movie featured the main mummy Imhotep, a dozen priest mummies, some royal guard mummies, and a mummy Anck-Su-Namun
This movie features... all of those mummies, mummy Ewok-like creatures that live in a jungle oasis (?), AND the Army of Anubis, who are magically-conjured jackal men, *who for some reason are also mummies*
I can only assume the next movie has every single character as a mummy, but it's not streaming free anywhere so I can never see it
