IMHOTEP? NEVER HEARD OF HIM
by pat


In gearing up for the sequel, and because some other people felt like watching it, I just rewatched the first Mummy film, as in the recent one, not the original, because that wasn't the one people wanted to watch before seeing this new one. It's all quite simple, really.

I remember being thoroughly surprised at how much I liked this movie, but upon rewatching it, my opinion has changed. I am no longer surprised, I know I will enjoy it, because I already have. This movie is a hell of a lot of fun. It's got the big effects inherent in the summer blockbuster genre, but they're all done well, and all used to enhance the action. So many movies waste big money on special effects shots that aren't very special or effective. Chuck Russell can waste 2 million on some alligators to attack Mr. Eraser, but if they look as threatening and realistic as Wally Gator, then who cares. Luckily, Stephen Sommers knows how to use a budget.

He also knows the value of humor, and just how goofy you can make it before an audience starts to groan. This movie came very close to parody on a couple of occasions, but got a laugh and quickly pulled away. This of course left room for neccesary cliches, but it gave the audience enough credit to recognize them and move on. This kept the pace going, allowing a two hour movie to feel epic, while not dragging or wasting an afternoon.

A common complaint I've heard is that it was trying to be too much like "Indiana Jones." Well, yes. First off, let's remember that it is a remake. When Sommers took on the project, after years of it just floating through director after director, script after script, he looked at it realisticly. Nowadays, nobody is going to be afraid of a dried out corpse bent on vengance. We've seen to much by now. That's why he specificly set out to make a period piece action comedy. Thrills, chills, a daring do-gooder, and the bad guys get their come-uppance. So what if it was a quasi-remake of a film after which it isn't titled? It's not like their any closer to getting an ACTUAL Indy movie into production, and "The Mummy" is much more rewatchable than "Temple of Doom."
