These are the ten best Brendan Fraser movies, as ranked by Rotten Tomatoes.
10 Blast From the Past (1999) – 58%
Comedy Concept 1999 A blast from the past It is definitely an interesting concept for a movie. The young man has been raised all his life within the confines of a bomb shelter with the conviction that the entire world has been ravaged by nuclear war, only to realize one day that this is not the case. Outside of the uniqueness of the idea, the film has been criticized for the inconsistent humor of the script and the actors involved.

8 The Mummy (1999) – 60%
