At least 1999 poster was better...


2017's The Mummy may end up being the better film.

But 1999's poster is way better.

But we don't even have a poster for the 2017 version yet?

I do love that poster, though. Used to have it on my wall!

reply

Agreed. What happened to posters like this? If the movie was made today, we'd have photo-shopped stills of all the characters with explosions in the background.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Because, like this film, the premise and plot are mediocre at best so Hollywood sells the actors instead of the film.

I've always been a fan of this one:

Way better. The poster with Fraser and Weisz is also better than the 2017 one. It's extremely dull and unimpressive. Looks like a Syfy original at best. Haven't seen the 1999 film (but did see its 2001 sequel...), maybe I should.

The 1999 is way better than the 2001 sequel. 1999 has pretty good horror/suspense/adventure for a PG-13 film.
