![]() ![]() That's what I can think of at this very moment. In short, in all honesty, I think the only thing that has held up from my childhood, that I still think is great to this day, are the first two Terminator movies. To be fair, I also liked the animated show, which was much better. I also loved TMNT and the movies they were in and, of course, now I know that those films are quite likely terrible. And, to be fair, the sequels aren't exactly comparable to the original (which I did not watch at the time I watched the sequels). For example, I grew up loving the Naked Gun trilogy (and Leslie Nielsen as an extension) and I re-watched some of the old movies (the second and third) and I definitely enjoyed them, but they weren't great.

'The Mummy' should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary. It was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. "That was what was lacking in that incarnation. "The ingredient that we had going for our 'Mummy,' which I didn't see in that film, was fun," Fraser told Variety in a recent interview. Brendan Fraser, who starred in the original "Mummy" trilogy that kicked off with the 1999 film, says Cruise's reboot flopped because it wasn't "fun." ![]() Tom Cruise's 2017 "Mummy" movie was a critical and box-office disaster. ![]()
