I finally decided to let myself endure the horror that is the new wave of 80s cartoon show-movies. I cried to myself in a corner after watching both Transformers movies. (The viewing of the sequel wasn't really out of my own free will). I really expected to do the same with this new rendition of my childhood shows. And while I actually thought it wasn't that bad, (Bad=Transformers, Good=The Mummy...and that's my range, I'm not saying The Mummy was a work of art), I was actually more interested in playing "Spot the actors from Sommer's previous films" throughout this movie. No really, I half expected to see Rachel Weisz make an appearance somewhere.
Let's take a look at the reoccuring actors I was able to spot off the bat:
Actor: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Character: Heavy Duty
Previously in: The Mummy Returns (Lock-Nah)
Actor: Arnold Vosloo
Character: Zartan
Previously in: The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (Imhotep)
Actor: Kevin J. O'Conner
Character: Dr. Mindbender
Previously in: Van Helsing (Igor), The Mummy (Beni), Deep Rising (Joey)
Actor: Brendan Fraser
Character: Sgt. Stone
Previously in: The Mummy trilogy (Rick O'Connell)
Those are the ones I caught, were there any others?
But really though, I half expected this film to be complete trash and it surprised me. Now I'll have to preorder my tickets for the other 80s-cartoon transformations I expect to see in the near future. This includes: Rainbow Bright, Thundercats and Jem.
