It’s been a long time since I sat through a full 2-hour film without moving, checking my phone, or missing a single second. Completely locked in from start to finish.

Roger Ebert on ‘The Mummy’
“There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the
bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an "Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we
should treasure it.”
I’m curious if there are people out there who get upset that these excellently crafted but no less populist films share space with things like The 400 Blows. I think it’s exemplary to show the full spectrum of cinema. I’m probably just “making up someone to be mad at” though 😅
