The Mummy’s Shroud (1967) – In this Hammer film, the mummy is accidentally brought back to life by an archeologist and a businessman-sponsor who ignore ominous warnings.
#Why did rachel weisz leave the mummy movies movie#
It was clear that this movie was trying to set the basis for follow-up films but that strategy was at the expense of delivering a satisfying experience.ĩ. The mixture of comedy, action, and horror just didn’t entirely gel for me. I had high hopes for this movie but it was less than the sum of its parts. The Mummy (2017) – A big-budget reboot starring Tom Cruise as a soldier/adventurer who releases a not-so-nice mummified Egyptian princess (played by Sofia Boutella). They both seek Princess Ananka who has been reincarnated as Marta, the beautiful daughter of the sponsor of an archeological expedition.Ĩ. The mummy Kharis is controlled by evil Andoheb (played by George Zucco, one of my favorite villains of the 1940s). The Mummy’s Hand (1940) – This is the second classic Universal mummy film but it doesn’t really follow the 1932 film. Clever ending where it’s not clear if the evil mummy survived or not.ħ. Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb (1971) – This is the last of the four Hammer films and is different because the mummy is female and isn’t mummified. A good movie but not as good as the 1999 predecessor because there’s too much emphasis on action rather than plot and character.Ħ. Archeologists played by Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz battle Imhotep with the added complication of the Scorpion King, played by Dwayne Johnson, and his army. The Mummy Returns (2001) – The title says it all. The mummy is controlled by evil Mehemet Bey, a worshiper of the cult of Karnak.ĥ. In this version, the mummy Kharis seeks vengeance on those who desecrated Princess Ananka’s tomb. The Mummy (1959) – A British film starring the legendary Peter Cushing as an archeologist and Christopher Lee as the mummy. Set in 1921, the mummy searches for his lost love so he can kill her then reincarnate her.Ĥ. The Mummy (1932) – This was the original mummy film and starred Boris Karloff as the mummy Imhotep. There’s a very clever scene where there are three mummies (one real, two imposters) stumbling about and causing confusion.ģ. Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) – Even though this movie is silly, I thought it was really funny.
Action, horror and comedy meshed together effectively. The Mummy (1999) – This is my clear favorite mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as the good guys and Arnold Vosloo as the mummy. Here are my top 10 favorite mummy movies ranked from most favorite to least favorite.ġ. I’m not a huge fan of mummy movies but most of them are quite watchable. There are quite a few movies about ancient Egyptian mummies coming to life and doing bad things. Halloween is coming soon and that brings to mind werewolves, vampires, and mummies.
