Do you know how I know 2021 is so far away from 1999? Simple. The writers of this movie thought we'd all forgotten about "The Mummy (1999)"
Funny thing, the Mummy 3 (which was a flop) ended with a "sequel joke" saying they found mummies in mexico. Guess the writers of this film didn't take the joke as it was meant to be.
Because apparently everyone forgot the very popular blockbuster this movie is absolutely ripping off. It's literally the same story, instead of rivers of sand, an actual river.
Starting off with Blunt, the heroine with an adventurous passion and a very obnoxious brother who is incapable of doing anything except whine who is even dressed exactly like the one they ripped off. Hat and all.
Then there's the villian, who is a superpowered person trapped in time, who someone from its caste is trying to revive with magical powers the people of the world don't believe in.
Then, the big gun comes along. He has some problems with the unfair local Jefe, and he needs money, and is using the heroine to save him. They need a guide! And they find a good looking funny Hero of the story who becomes the main protagonist.
I'm not gonna give out any spoilers, However if you watched the Mummy, just superimpose the faces of the new actors over the old ones. That's pretty much a spoiler though right?
So just do yourselves a favour, go in your old DVD rack , or your parents, there is bound to be a copy of The mummy. Put it in a DVD player, and put a couple of plants on the TV.
I literally made this account just for this.
