Summary: Really Good
Review: I just got back from this movie maybe bout 10 minutes ago and I was extremely impressed. Seeing that the 1st one, "The Mummy", was not all that great i was surprised to see it really had a successful sequel. A little on the techno side with all the computer graphics but it was still extremely good. Its not everyday that you find a sequel that was actually better than the original!! Go see this movie and see for urselves how good it is!!

Summary: I don't care what the others say, this movie rocks!
Review: I personally thought that The Mummy Returns is even better than the first. While I thought that the first movie was fair enough, this movie had a lot more content. I liked how they linked this story with the history that the first movie only briefly touched on. I did however, think that the scorpion king (aka "The Rock")looked very unreal in the last scene, I think that the movie was very good overall, and worth seeing again. If you think that seeing it at a regular movie theater was good enough, try seeing it on one of those 40-foot IMAX screens....fun to be had... :)

Summary: A Great Summer Flick Worth Seeing
Review: As I sat down to watch this movie, several expectations flooded through my mind. First of all were my expectations for the visual effects, which were met with open arms. Let's see, how can I put this...THEY ROCKED! This movie also contains a whole lot more action than the first, thus never making the movie boring. The battles are great and always offer different assortments, such as better weapons and different types of enemies. There were only a few problems in my opinion. The script suffered minor flaws and got a bit confusing when the past was brought into the picture and some connections were revealed. Other than that, this movie is great and certainly exceeded my expectations.

Summary: You can't watch just once!
Review: I was really excited about seeing this movie, but was praying that it would not be another terrible sequal, like so many follow up movies are. It wasn't. I loved it. The dialogue could have been better, but it certainly didn't ruin the movie, some of it is really funny. All I'm going to say about The Rock is, wrestlers should stick to getting beat up for fun and stay out of movies. Luckily, his role was to look big and strong, which he is, so no real harm done. Anyway, those things didn't affect the great time I had watching this movie on Saturday *and* Sunday. The action was nonstop, the plot was better than in the first movie and the actors were GREAT! The ladies have really good, interesting fight scenes. It's cool to see them be so powerful and their fight choreography was impressive. The clothes and human characters are beautiful and the new little nasties that they made up to try and foil our heroes were just as ugly as intended, especially the army of creatures they fight. Those were awesome. Overall, it was great and I am going to see it again. Brendan Fraser is great and just as cute as ever, but Rachel Weiss (Evy) really steals the show. She looks great, acts great and has a commanding presence on screen. Feminine, smart, beautiful, stong; she's the ultimate woman, full of love and integrity. I'm aching to give this movie 5 stars so that everyone will want to see it. What few flaws it has, it makes up for with everything else that is great about the movie. GO SEE IT! You can thank me later :)

Summary: Three Words: Fun.....Action.....Suspense
Review: Ok, so it has it's flaws, some corny lines, but that isn't the point! This movie is supposed to be fun, and fun it was. Special effects were very impressive, much more action, and a deeper plot. It's like Indiana Jones, and Indiana is supposed to fun, not to be taken seriously.

Summary: An excellent action film that even had some in-depth writing
Review: Okay, maybe I'm crazy this way, but I _like_ "The Mummy Returns". I love it, in fact. I found it to be a really, really good movie; I enjoyed it more than the first. (And yes, I love the first one, too)This movie is an _action_ movie; that's all there is to it. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The special effects are a*maz*ing . . . I can't even imagine the small fortune they must have dished out for those effects. Almost every scene had something-or-other in CG animation. But that's not what made this movie so spectacular, really. All the computer generated effects in the world won't do any good if the acting isn't convincing. The actors, during filming, have to act afraid/angry/etc. at nothing but air; but if they act well, once the effects are added in, the result is nothing short of amazing. At the acting in this movie, especially when it was in response to really _nothing_ for THEM, was spectacular. (spoilers ahead) But there was also some real _emotion_ in this movie. The real grief on Evelyn's face when she is thinking about her kidnapped son; the anguish on Rick's face when he loses his wife; the affection parents and child all have for each other----this is an action movie, but these are real _people_ here. Kudos to all the actors for a job well done. And my favorite characters from the last movie were only heightened in my respect for them by this sequel----the brother Jonathan, who provides plenty of moments of comic relief but also gets to have some serious, dignified moments; and of course Ardeth Bay, the leader of the Madji (or Madgi, I really must look up t'at spelling sometime), who has some great drama sword-fighting scenes. I love Ardeth, not only because I have a thing for guys in black with swords *g*, but because, for lack of a better way to say it, he is not Bruce Willis. When he has a hoarde of ten hundred thousand warriors of Anubis pouring towards him and his band of a hundred or so Madgi, he refuses to run away, he stays to face it----but the guy looks a little nervous, okay? Of COURSE he'd be nervous! Wouldn't you be? Kudos to the actor (Odin Faer, perhaps? It escapes me right now) for giving this character not only bravery, but fear (which he overcomes) at the same time. It's about TIME we see a real action character for once. What about the "in-depth" stuff I was babbling about? There isn't much time for a long slew of character development, but it is there. My favorite would have to be Evelyn, who becomes as much as a warrior as the rest of them in this film. I won't spoil by giving away the reason as to how she learned all this, but it is a good one. :) And Rick is told by Ardeth, who catches sight of a tattoo on Rick's forearm, that O'Connell is one of the Madgi himself. Rick, who has been running from responsibility to anyone but himself (and now, his family) for a long time now, refuses to accept what Ardeth is trying to tell him----that is he a warrior for God. He doesn't want to be responsible in any part for humanity----"You've got the wrong guy." Ardeth tries to convince him a few times, "If you embrace this, you will find peace in yourself," but that doesn't go over too well. :) It is resolved at the end of the movie, because Rick has a choice of whether to send Anubis's army back or use it to take over the world----and he takes no time in deciding what he really wants to be. So what can I say; the acting is great, the effects are great, and the kid ("Are we there yet?" -- "NO!") is quite fun. My advice would be, lighten up, stop expecting this to be the next "Star Wars" (and quite frankly, I enjoyed this more than I did "SW"; I'm sorry, but it's true), and just enjoy it for what it IS, not what it is NOT. And you will probably find that this truly is quite a good movie. Enjoy.

Summary: Ranks up there with T2 and The Lost World! GOOD SEQUEL!!!
Review: I saw the original Mummy in theaters the second day it came out in 1999. I loved it a lot it stands as one of my favorite movies of all time. When I heard there was going to be a sequel i was more excited than ever. This one I was able to see the first day it came out. I was blown away. This movie is fantastic it is definatly one of the best sequels ever made. It takes everything form the first doubles it and throws it right back. The fight seens are the best since the Matrix. The Battle scenes are absolutly beautiful. And the story line is as rich and funny as ever. There are a few big suprises in this movie especially when you find out the truth behind evelyns past. There is one thing about the movie that i did not like at all. When the rock comes out in the end as the scorpion king, he is entirely visual effects and his face looks extremely fake, but that doesn't mean the movie is bad. I highly recommend this sequel it definatly gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: I just watched this movie in theatre last night. i don't know why anyone would possibly lump this in with crap like indiana jones (harrison ford has no charisma) or any jurassic park movie (nuff said there). this was a great action movie and far surpasses the previous one. as long as you respect what it is, an adventure, it will more than satisfy. two thumbs up.
