The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - August 1st!

Uh, I don't get it. The Mummy was good, but not that good. People seem to be making it out like it was Lord of the Rings or Star Wars (the original).

They were both popcorn movies, something to enjoy, which I did, but then I have a low threshold of whatever it is that makes people hate or love movies.....

Then again, the only film I ever walked out on was Resident evil.
Talk about a load of donkey doodoo.

Really? Who is?

I'm a big fan of both Mummy movies. The second was maybe not as good as the first, but I still liked it a bunch. Very excited about this, though I'll miss Rachel Weisz.

Well, it might not be as big as those two, but it's certainly in the same class as the Indiana Jones movies.

I'm gonna miss Rachel Weisz as well, she is really cute. The new actress isn't bad, but not in the same class, IMHO.

I am looking forward to this movie. I enjoyed both the others. They are fun popcorn flicks. I own them both on DVD and they are what I pull out when I am n the mood for laughs, adventure and some archarology.

I was laid up one weekend in bed after some knee surgery. I had a marathon of thesse type movies. I watched all the Indy movies followed by both mummies then the Librarian movies followed by Sands of Oblivion.

I like Maria Bello she is a fine actress but she is so different than Rachel Weisz that it might be jarring she is a tough modern american I don't know if I can see her as a turn of the century english woman.

The teen playing the kid is no problem he looks like Fraser and if you didn't know better you could think he was the other actor older.

Same genre, sure. Same class? Not by a mile. Sorry, I like the Mummy films, but they won't be considered classics, while Indiana Jones probably will.

Raiders is a classic. But the other two, not so much, IMHO. While I don't think the first The Mummy was a classic, exactly, it was better than the later two Indy movies and is simply a very fun movie to watch, something that was forgotten in the Temple of Doom, if not Last Crusade..

But I was thinking in terms of money. Which is hard to compare, since the Indy movies were a decade earlier, but they are right next to each other.

Indiana Jones and the Mummy movies are all Torg movies. Or was it the other way around?

 

[Knightfall]

They're making one.

Actually, it's a prequel.

Without The Rock.

And it's straight to video. :\
