Is this worth watching in 2018?


I never saw it when it came out. Has it held up well over the last 19 years, or is it dated and hokey already?

reply

Yes.

It’s a PERIOD film.

It doesn’t get “dated” like Tim Burton’s Batman films with Prince and MC Hammer music.

Personally, it still holds up for me. Just a fun adventure action film. Apart from a few moments, the CGI also still holds up.

It's still basically a comedy...

It’s an action comedy, holds up fine. The CGI isn’t modern but easy to look passed in this one.

Hell yeah it still holds up!

The film is still excellent and, in my opinion at least, is right up there with the Indiana Jones films as one of the best adventure movies of all time.

The sequels aren't really worth a shit, but the first Mummy is a classic. It's probably in my Top 10 of most rewatched films and maybe even Top 5.

yes and the mummy returns
