Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
6/10
Great acting but didn't really care about the mummy
23 May 2019
I've been meaning to watch this movie for a few years, and it's not really what I expected. Most of the movie is Bruce Campbell reminiscing his life as the king of rock and roll, and how he got to the nursing home he is in. This isn't a bad thing however. His performance mesmerized me, and to be honest, I liked those parts better than the mummy mystery. His interactions with Ossie Davis were very well done, and I feel like they could have made a movie purely about how they ended up where they were, and the two of them being paranoid about supernatural things going on. The last part of the movie, where they go head to head with the mummy, was pretty entertaining, but again, I just didn't really care about that. I mostly just wanted to see more of Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis giving monologues. It's pretty funny that those are the parts I enjoyed, but it was a fun ride. If nothing else, watch it for their acting.
