Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984): 8/10
…with amazing practical effects…
Not very many… 😄
Did you fast-forward through the mine-cart chase, the raft in the water, the car chase, the bug scene, the sacrificial tearing out of the heart, the rock crusher fight, most of the bridge scene etc. etc. and then only watch the part where the water shot out of the side of the mountain and Short Round’s feet dangled from the bridge?
Yeah, I generally don’t give that film the credit it’s due. It just always annoys me how almost all of the blue screen/matte effects range from wonky to terrible, and a lot of the locations are obvious set pieces. There were definitely quite a few great effects throughout the film.

Yeah, the blue screen was real bad in Temple of Doom. Short Rounds feet always bothered me the most because it was just so unnecessary. The practical effects they did use always looked good to me though.

Wouldn’t the blue screen be practical?

The Mummy
5 stars
Comparing this remake to the original horror film is crazy. They might share the name, but at the core they are completely different movies, tone-wise, action-wise, visual-vise, plot-wise. And I gotta say, the remake KICKS FUCKING ASS. I might be blinded by nostalgia goggles, but The Mummy still stands out to meas one of the best films of the 90’s.
The Mummy Returns
2 stars
The sequel, though, does not. While at it’s core it might look like more of the same, this movie is a turd. A golden trd served on a silver plate with a tiny umbrella sticking out of it, but still a turd. The needance to having everything be connected baffles me. In the first movie, the heroes didn’t have anything to do with the villain - except being his potential victims. Just a librarian, an asshole, a bigger asshole and a warrior of an ancient cult who you were not sure whether he’s good or bad until the third act. In this movie, the asshole is now also a member of that cult, without even knowing it, the librarian girl is now a future version of pharaoh’s warrior and I don’t even know I got lost. There is too much paranormal. I know that the whole idea of Mummy rising back from dead is paranormal, but the first movie understood that it’s a silly idea and played along with it. It built up a mystery, in depths of the desert, hidden secrets. In this one we have The Mummy running around in broad daylight, with a band of other guys. Imhothep is not The Mummy with capital M, he is a comic book villain. The kid was so annoying, I won’t even give him more than this one sentence. The CGI in the first film, while nothing groundbreaking, was OK. The CGI here? Somehow, they managed to make the CGI worse! They had higher budget, better technology, more experience and IT’S WORSE? THE SCORPION KING AT THE END LOOKS LIKE A PLAYSTATION 2 CHARACTER!
It’s what it is, but it’s baffling such amazing movie like The Mummy could be followed up by…this!
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
4 stars
So after the collosal pile of garbage that was Mummy 2, the team responsible grabbed their balls, and actually delivered us a proper sequel. To which I only have to say: Meh. The movie isn’t bad. IMHO it’s a big improvement over TMR. But it has ton of flaws. It delves way too much into politics. When I watch Mummy movie, I want to see The Mummy, not a bunch of spies and betrayals. The pacing is bit off, but not anything that would make me frustrated. I liked the chemistry between the - now thankfully grown up - O’Connels son, and the O’Connel himself, played again by Brendan Fraser. Just like TMR, it tries to be more comedic, but this time, it surprisingly works! This is the movie that you will either love or hate, and for me, it does enough things to love it.

I used to really like the first two Mummy movies, but I can’t stand any of the CG anymore; it completely overwhelms and ruins the films for me.

I’m definitely watching this sometime this weekend. Just looking at some of the images brings me back to childhood where I watched this movie on a weekly basis.

If you’re willing to ignore the fact that an ancient mummy wouldn’t look like that and doesn’t even look…dead then sure.
but nostalgia tho

It’s not related to the films with Fraser, but the plot is pretty much ctrl+c ctrl+v with few changes.

Universal should sue over the misleading logo. 😉
They’ve cranked out so many direct to video sequels to The Scorpion King and even Dragonheart, I’m surprised they haven’t gone that route with ol’ Imhoptep.

People should definitely sue. A movie so bad is surely against some Geneva convention shit.
I’d rather watch AotC. Twice. In a row.

If you’re willing to go with the idea that a mummy is resurrected, why not the idea that he doesn’t look quite dead? It’s all supernatural anyway.
And it’s not nostalgia. I’m not that old and I actually saw the newer one first.
And I’m not only saying I prefer that look to the mummy, but the original is a much better film.
And it’s not that great a film…

Because having some old looking dude run around rather than a literal corpse isn’t nearly as frightening.

Ok I must have misinterpreted because the look of the Boris Karloff Mummy looks bad even if it was good for it’s time while the movie itself I can’t comment on because I haven’t seen it since I was a kid. I should dig up the VHS too while I’m looking for my old The Mummy DVD

IMO, The Mummy '32 is a pretty mediocre movie; only Karloff’s performance makes it all that worthwhile.

Yeah, I agree. I love the Universal horror films of the 30’s and 40’s, but The Mummy is probably the one I’ve watched the least. And I’ve only seen it’s sequels once.
Karloff is great as always as is Jack Pierce’s makeup. It’s a great, iconic look. Makes me wish the movie was better.
