Summary: Corny but pretty
Review: The dorky "one liners" and "humorous" smartass remarks are irritating enough but add a kid to it and it really gets annoying. The plot was corny too but I enjoyed the surrealistic adventures anyway. Reminds me a tad of Jurassic.Some of the animation did look a little fake in the movements, which didnt look natural. Still the movie is a total eye feast. If you have an HDTV it is incredible!! I'm not sure I would buy this again but it really shows off the capabilities of my HDTV. The picture is razor sharp, great colors and effects except as noted above. I do dislike the 2:35 aspect ratio the studios keep putting out. I didnt buy a big TV so they could go and give me a tiny little strip to watch.

Summary: Not half as good as the first
Review: this is not a very good movie. The action is just boring, and the plot....well, i just couldn't care less about it. The characters are pretty damn poor, apart from that guy who wears black and has a bird. but his name is so obscure that i couldn't for the life of me tell you what it was. The thing about the first one was taht it had a nice bit of history mixed in with it. It made the film a lot more interesting. This one, however, lacks any real historical element at all. It is just action, and it's pretty poor action at that. The fights are just absurd, and what on earth was the thing with those awful little pygmie things about?????? This was just in the realms of fantasy, and completely ignored the fact that this is a film set in egypt, and with it's grounds in Egyptian myth and legend. But they seemed to just forget that, and throw in any old evil monsters. In the first film, because they stuck plainly to the impossible, yet somehow strangely realistic, it worked, but in this one it just seems to make a mockery of it. The entire Scorpion King thing just seemed to be thrown in to get another good fight out, and it was just so badly done i couldn't care less. He was so obviously put together by computer. they could at least have made some token effort. The introduction of Fraser and Weisz's child was a bad move. I just couldn't care about him at all. When he was taken, i couldn't give a damn about whether they rescued him or not. He just kept getting on my nerves. Possibly the only redeeming festures of this film are Imhotep (who does make the film shimmer with menace, although not so much as in the first) and John Hannah. He was simply wonderful, and really made the film. his acting was great. Admittedly, it was quite obvious and rather idiotic, but he made me laugh out loud several times. If they had kept every other character out, and just Hannah in, this film would have been greatly improved. But, in this instance, they chose to stray from the winning formula they found with the first, and have managed to create an abismal and disappointing film.

Summary: Indiana Jones for the late 90's
Review: I loved the Mummy returns. For all the reviewers and critics moaning about the movie, what did you expect? Rocket Science? Have a little fun in your life for crying out loud.

Summary: Let down
Review: I love Brendan Frasier, but I did not enjoy this movie at all. The technology that made the first film couldn't save this one. If you have nothing better to spend you money on, go for it.

Summary: ........zzzzzzzzzzz
Review: I fell asleep several times while watching mummy returns. No character development and thin plot. All the CGI looked cartoony and did not hold my attention. Buy it, watch it, and shelf it next to Mummy#1 and fuget-about-it.

Summary: Bad Effects and more
Review: I expected to see great special effects based on everything I had heard but in fact they were awful. I mean as in fake computer-generated looking...so much as to be distracting. They looked like a video game or something you would see on some low budget tv show. And there was no character development...this might not be that bad except it resulted in me having no care about the characters to the point where I was cheering when they got killed or were about to get killed. overvall it was entertaining but nothing here is award winning.

Summary: Amazing Film
Review: Don't listen to wierdos who didn't even like the first one! If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. Obviousley, if you don't like the subject matter, didn't like the first one, or just plain don't like the idea of mummy's coming back to life, don't buy it. Also, I advise that NO ONE spit on Stephen Sommers seeing as he is one of the great directors of our time. It is an action packed story full of fun and excitement.

Summary: A Sequel should alwasy be judged as a sequel.
Review: Measning that it of course will be not as fresh and original as the first film. That being said, the movie still wasn't very good. While the first film was predictable and formulaic, it also was genuinely funny and had good character development, The second is just formulaic and predictable. The DVD does have some redeeming features. It is exhaustive in its features. So much so, that if you are interested in learning all how special effects are produced, then this might be a good disc for you. Overall the movie is eye-candy that insults the intelligence, but is (partly) saved by great DVD presentation.

Summary: no plot but it works?
Review: unbelievably this movie proves that sometimes a sequal to a stellar movie is to throw at us mondo mayhem and plenty special effects more than any other movie in history. This was a good overrall movie. No scene stood out in particular but it was nicely touched. Computer generated effects have come along way and the THE MUMMY RETURNS best shows that. The plot is almost tossed out the window just so we can see Vosloo and co. make full use of hollywood special effects to the maximum. I think it works perfectly though. This is a must own film especially for those like me who dig special effects.
