The first 2 were quite fun, the third movie, not so much and 'The Scorpion King' was just crap!

Agreed, the first two were a lot of fun; the same kind of fun the Indiana Jones movies were -- simply entertaining, without taking themselves too seriously. That's rare, unfortunately. The third movie was complete rubbish IMO. I like Maria Bello, but they shouldn't have recast the role when Rachel Weisz (wisely) declined to return; better if they'd written another role for her or better yet dropped the whole turd.

I just re-watched the first one recently, hadn't seen it in years; I was also kind of surprised how most of the special effects holds up quite well for a movie made almost 20 years ago.

I have what is called 'The Mummy' trilogy, bought it for $10.00 at Target about 4 years ago. I should pull it out and give it a watch this week.

i pretend that the third one never happened.

Me too, which isn't hard at all -- I hardly remember anything of it, except facepalming at some CGI yetis and at some point towards the end falling asleep in the theater. I think Michelle Yeoh was in it too, but I can't be bothered to look it up.

Finally got around to watching The Mummy again as an adult, and it's even better than I remember. The OST, Brendan Fraser, the comedy, the action and adventure.....my God, it's so many things packed into one and they all work together flawlessly.

yes - for 1 & 2 as well. and agree on so many things packed into one.

when this came out i watched it 3-4 times in the cinema like when the trailer played in the tv i will ask my mom to go back and watch it again lol

As an adult - still watchable (though more into 1 than 2), memorised most of the lines and love chanting in a low voice: ** Imhotep** whenever i see something related to mummies or saying Anack su namun

Plus all of the characters - so perfect! Love the Benny & Rick relationship, even the guy from prison who went with them - I am here to protect my investment, thank you very much!

You know I felt sorry for Imhotep, all he wanted was his girlfriend back!

and to rule the world....

I remember the First Mummy being one of my top 5 movie to have come out around that time through maybe late 2000s...just a fun adventure flick!

Mummy returns, though good, was not up to par with the first, but was a good additional story.

Tomb of the Dragon Emperor...hmmm...didn't a Yeti do the "its good" Football sign when one of the baddies gets kicked...oh nooooo!

Thoroughly enjoyable and fun...

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are the perfect "Mummy" couple.

It's my favorite movie. I lost counts on many times I seen it.

i watch it whenever it's on tv, which is a lot. never gets old.

I can't help but watch every time it's on either.

I rewatched it again. Yes, it still holds up well with its humor and action sequences. I do not have any desire to watch 2 or Scorpion King. I haven’t seen the 2017 Tom Cruise film, but heard it was awful.
