Summary: DUMMY CRUMMY MUMMY NOT SO YUMMY
Review: I just saw this movie and was among the few that were disapointed. The first was at least ok. The special effects were not top notch. There were so many things that annoyed me in this film. I think the first sign it was a bad movie was when the kid nocked the pillars down in the beggining and he was actually trying to push it back up. I know kids do stupid things but that's beyond what a kid would do. The parents mentioned the kid was smart in the movie but that's as believable as the whole movie. I started seeing it last night but after the first 20 minutes I wanted to be entertained and not annoyed but poor cinema. I put in MST3000. I thought the balloon with the turbo was very laughable. They probably killed Eevie to keep her brother and son busy till the end of the movie. Why did the Mummy's love not save him. One guess is that he lost the Scorpian King army but does that still break eternal love. Visually some parts of the movie were great like the ancient egypt set. The cgi wasn't the greatest even though it was done by ILM. The effects were rushed for the movie to be out on time. This movie left a few more unanswered question. Maybe I'll torture myself and see it a gain.

If you wanna see good CGI and turn off your brain see Jurrasic Park. Especially JP3 since the dinosaurs are the most real looking to date. The action sequences are at least exciting.

If you wanna see good special effects and a story with depth see TPM.

If you wanna see mild special effects and a weak story see MUMMY RETURNS

Summary: much of the same, yet more shallow
Review: i thought i was going to like this film, i was excited about seeing it, but while watching it, i always wondered, why is everybody fighting? some of the fighting just didn't seem to be needed in the story. and also i wasn't that impressed with the weird monsters attacking at the beginning and end of the film in the desert, as far as computer graphics were concerned. also the scorpion king graphics looked more like a computer game than something real and hideous and frightening. sorry, i thought it would be better than what it was.

Summary: It came close.
Review: "The Mummy Returns" came in close behind the original "Mummy" movie. Sure the little pigme people running around where hard to buy but it was the special effects that had me captured. At the end of the movie is the "Rocks" staring role, but there is a shock to see the "Rock" at the end. Will I tell you what the shock is? No go out and rent it if you want to find out. The DVD version is awsome. It has behind the scenes features, cast outtakes and even a feature of a new attraction at Universal Studios in Hollywood, CA. However if you want the full "Mummy" experience be sure to catch the first. The Munny Returns filled the vacant shoes of a good action packed film with a puch or two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stop your whining and enjoy.
Review: You know what, if people are that stuck up and uptight over seeing a movie then they should not be allowed to see any movie period. This is not a movie that is going to redefined film making, it's a movie that is surpose to be fun to watch; and it is. I had more fun watching this film than most of the movies I have seen this year. It's a great reminder of the Indiana Jones films, and a damn good one to boot. It even out does the original, and that in it's self is a great achievement considering the fact that most sequels really do s... If you have nothing better to do other than to criticize the reasons on why people like movies like this, then do yourself (and all of us a favor) and don't watch this film. If you like to be entertain for a good two hours, and feel good afterwards about it, then look no further then the Mummy Returns. A movie that does exactly what it is surpose to do, give us a good time.

Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: This file is very entertaining. This movie isn't deep but it's fun, exciting and easy to watch. You can lose yourself in it for a little while. The only part of the movie I really didn't like was the diridgable, but the sets are great, the men are good looking and the women are strong. Arnold Vosloo runs around half naked most of the time and he's not bad eye candy. I'm ready for another Mummy movie with this cast.

Rating: 5 stars

you on your toes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Where did this go wrong?
Review: Let me start off by saying the 2 stars are for the DVD. The DVD looks great, sounds spectacular, and has loads of extras. If you like this movie get it now or if sceptical wait beacause an Ultimate ED. might be coming out later.

Anyways, now the movie. What is this? Where did all the fun go? A plus is all the actors/actress return for the sequal, I always hated new cast members in old roles, but somthing is missing in their preformances. They all lack chrisma. The fun feeling from the first one is miss, just not here. Don't expect much screen time from the Rock as well.

As for the effects. Well some are good some are bad.

Good ones include: The Mummy soilders that leap off buildings and who fight on the bus. The Army of Dogs/Cats (I don't know what they are) that the Rock fights and also at the end.

Bad ones include: The wall of water....seen it before just it was sand....boring same old same old. The little hunter demons...it felt like Jurassic Park 2. The Rock's showing in the end is the worst effect of all summer, you can tell it was rushed.

In the end, this horid movie gets a good DVD transpher. You decide wheather its your taste or not.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mummy Returns Poor Quality Transfer
Review: While The Mummy Returns is a good movie overall, the DVD Transfer is not that great, especially the soundtrack. The Dolby Digital 5.1 is to loud in most parts of the movie, but on my copy, it seems that when the real action scenes come, the audio reduces itself, and sounds as if it converts to 2-channel sound. Very annoying. Maybe the ghost of the Mummy is playing around with my volume control!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take my advice - RENT it first...
Review: I DID like this movie. However, I didn't think it was quite as good as the first. There were definitely a few "stretches" in this one. However, the special effects were really good, as was the overall story and acting. I don't want to give anything away. I DO remember saying "oh give me a break" a couple of times, but for the most part, I really DO like this and don't regret buying it. I DO wish I had rented it first though.
