YouTuber Josh Keefe explains why The Mummy was able to “put a dumb smile” on his face in the above video.
Starring Brendan Fraser as adventurer Rick O’Connell and Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan a wannabe Egyptologist, Keefe says The Mummy is a simple film that just wants to give you a fun time.
He likewise describes why the adventure genre is awesome when done well and in this case The Mummy kicks multiple goals.
It’s the type of movie, he says, that “screams adventure.”
“It’s like Scobey Do meets Indiana Jones,” he adds.
So, press the top left play button on the above feature image to watch the video.
The 1999 film has got it all. Guns, swords, romance, and adventure; all done with a playful spirit.
Unfortunately, its sequels failed to recreate the same charm or success.
