Summary: Amiable piece of hokum
Review: Clearly a film like this is not going to be an experience which improves ones mind and starts the nation thinking. However within its constraints it is an enjoyable fast moving film of the special effects genre. I saw the fist film and liked it moderately. It clearly was not a remake of the Boris Karloff film of the same name but got certain plot ideas, which it expanded, into a comedy setting. Its strengths were the principle characters specifically Brendon Fraser and whoever plays the villain. The sequel has the same cast as the original movie. It rather artificially reincarnates the villain from the first movie and we are of again. Some of the film makes absolutely no logical sense. The main characters fight to gain control of an army of mechanical warriors who fight with battle axes. With the invention of modern weapons the only use of this phantom army would be to run a protection racket in a backward town in the Sudan. One can understand that the villain of the film might see this army as impressive he is a reincarnated Egyptian after all. He has not had much time to adopt to the modern world and to see that the battle axe is a bit passe. Never the less the film is reasonably well scripted, the actors look good and perform well and the film is fast passed. The extra bits in the DVD are basically promotional material and explanations about the special effects. One of the weird things about the extra bits is that it shows the actors as actors and one can see how human they are. The character who plays the mummy for instance appears to be rather pudgy and his skin tone is dreadful. The transition to the screen makes a big difference.

Summary: Great Sequel
Review: This movie was even better that the first. There was more action and special effects. The Rock was terrific! I liked the main characters better in this one, although they didn't waste a lot of time on conversation and character developement. This is an action movie from beginning to end. This is not Academy Award material, just a great movie for its type.

Summary: Please no more sequels!!
Review: The Mummy was no modern marvel by any sense, but this poorly acted, cheesey special effects ridden disaster is not worth the effort. The characters are flat and lifeless and seem to spout off innane comments and one-liners throughout the films pitiful life. The story and plot are non-existent and .... Don't waste your time.

Summary: Complete product of Hollywood idiocy.
Review: Okay, so I kindof thought the first film was cool. I mean, it had likeable charcters, cool special effects, a firm story line, and it was even moderately scary (okay, creepy) at times. So I thought the sequal might follow suit. Boy was I wrong. The Mummy Returns is one of the most dissapointing, most horribly corny films I've ever had the mis-fortune of seeing. First of all, there's way to much cheesy CGI and almost no plot or character development at all. The dog-men warriors were luaghable. In the last battle, I nearly fell out of my chair. The puny little men on their horses cut down the dog-warriors three at a time at moments, this being very strange looking at the fact that the dog warriors were nearly three times their size. Also, at the end, the effects used on the Scorpion King looked like something that belonged in a Saturday Morning Cartoon. On the subject of the Scorpion King.... STICK TO WRESTLING ROCK! That guy cannot act his was out of a cloud. The Rock goes on to grunt, huff, puff, and blow all the little warriors down like a miniature Godzilla. It's really hilarious to see a man with the brain capacity of a guinea pig trying to act like some lethal warlord. Also, adding a kid was a very bad idea. This was the first ingrediant into reducing The Mummy Returns into a action driven piece of garbage that will only appeal to little eleven year old boys and, sadly, cheerleaders. Don't touch this movie with a ten foot pole.

Summary: PRETTY GOOD SEQUEL
Review: I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PRETTY GOOD SEQUEL. ALL OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE FROM THE FIRST MOVIE ARE BACK FOR THE SECOND AND THEY HAVE A SON WHO IS INTO EVERYTHING. HE IS A MIX OF HIS MOTHER AND HIS FATHER WHICH GETS HIM INTO MORE TROUBLE THAN HE BARGAINS FOR. THE ROCK HAS A BRIEF CAMEO IN THIS MOVIE AS THE SCORPIN KING AND HE FIGHTS THE MUMMY. SOME PARTS YOU WANT TO FAST FORWARD BUT IT REALLY MOVES ALONG WELL. BRENDAN FRASER IS VERY FUNNY IN THIS MOVIE. IT HAS A GOOD ENDING. IT ALSO HAS GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS ESPECIALLY THOSE LITTLE PYGMIES IN THE WOODS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT. IT'S A GOOD MOVIE REALLY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO SEE.

Summary: This movie has everything!
Review: Action, Adventure, Love... this movie has got everything. I really enjoy the chemistry between Brendan Fraser (Rick) and Rachel Weisz (Evie) in this movie. Brendan is one of the best actors out there these days. His black humor in the movie is amazing!

Summary: I was a little disappointed... I wish it had been better!
Review: The Mummy has returned, but it never made such an impact on me as it did in the first movie. I wished I could have given the movie, "The Mummy Returns", more than 3 stars but to do that it would have to have been a better movie. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back as the two adventurers/archaeologists Rick and Evie O'Connell, now married. Now with their son, Alex (Freddie Boath), they discover the bracelet of the 'The Scorpion King' (Dwayne Johsnon, 'the Rock'). But someone else is looking for the bracelet, Baltus Hafez the British Museum Curator (Alun Armstrong) who has awakened again the mummy of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo). The reason, to take possession of the Scorpion King's vast army given to him by the god Anubis. And so when Alex puts the bracelet on himself, he is kidnapped to be made to lead Imhotep to the lair of the Scorpion King. It's up to the O'Connells, along with Evie's brother Jonathan (John Hannah) and Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), to stop Imhotep before he can use Anubis' army for his own. Ok, let's start with the bad points of the movie when comparing the two Mummy movies. 1) While "The Mummy" WAS corny, it was not as corny as this movie. And for those who though that "The Mummy" was pretty stupid and the plot thin, don't watch this movie. 2) The F/X were pretty good in the first movie, all the action and special effects flowed smoothly. And this movie had plenty of fight scenes which could have been GREAT, but they looked pretty choppy and you could tell that they were making the action look faster than the actual speed. 3) And finally, "The Mummy Returns" just didn't have the suspense or excitement it had it the movie before. And if you're not comparing this movie to the first movie, here are the few reasons which were a bit disappointing. 1) While "The Mummy" was definitely not a children's movie, they tried to make it like it was for kids in "The Return" by putting in the annoying Alex. And some parts he was funny and I admit I was laughing at the part in the train where he argues with Lock-Nah (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). But what was disappointing was that there were a few bad words in the movie and most ALL of them came out of the mouth of Alex! I didn't think that was a good idea. So a warning here, parents should watch this movie before younger kids watch this movie. 2) In the movie, Evie and Meela Nais (Patricia Velzquez) fight together with the fork like weapons (I forgot its name). Well, those weapons aren't Egyptian, they're Chinese weapons!! All right, enough about the bad parts, now for the good points. I thought it was just funny!! There were a few moments where you could actually laugh and think it very witty. The acting was so-so but not that disappointing. Probably my most favorite character would have to be Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr). The action scenes were choppy but entertaining. And that's what the whole movie of "The Mummy Returns" was, entertainment. So if you would like to try the movie out, do watch it once. But still in my opinion, I think I like "The Mummy" more, for the suspense and the thrills. And if they do make a Mummy III, they'd better make it more like the first movie.

Summary: A Good Adventure
Review: Okay, so this doesn't have much of a plot, if any. And the Scorpian King at the end looks really fake. But who cares? I'll admit that the first one was better, but this is still a good action film. The story doesn't draw you in, and it's not very scary, but believe me, you won't be bored. In spite of its shortcomings, it's still an entertaining film that keeps you interested. After all, isn't that what movies are supposed to do?

Summary: This movie has nothing to do with mummys
Review: The Mummy Returns is about 40 times worse than The 1999 film, The Mummy, which was also horrible. Why movies like this make so much money I don't think I will ever understand. Not only is it bad but it looks like they didn't even try to make it good, the specisl effects are worse than that of Air Force One or The Langoliers. I spit on this movie and its filmmakers, especially you Stephen Sommers, you ruined 4 hours of my life from viewing both of these lumps of dung. This film is the second worst of the year in my opinion.
