Summary: Lousy sequel
Review: This movie could have been tremendous. Notice I said, "could have?" I really thought it was a pathetic attempt. Despite a surprisingly decent acting performance from The Rock, this movie failed to live up to my expectations.When ranting on this movie, the first thing I look at is the graphics. In parts of the movie, it is phenominal (ex: the armies of Anubias), other parts left much to be desired. The end scene with the Scorpian King was a disgrace, if that is the best that can be done, then it simply shouldn't be done. I also have problems with the plotline of the movie and logic. Where did this warrior of the light or whatever come from? You cannot throw things like this in and expect people to get into it. If it had been done right, then it would have been hinted at in the first movie. Foreshadowing is everything when you are writing, whether it is a movie or a book. The good points of the movie are as follows: The storyline (that could have been better, but its still not bad), the actors did a pretty decent job (once you forget the standard movie cliches where every kid has been trained under the Home Alone Movie Franchise). I wasn't impressed too much with the first movie, but I thought it was well done, if a bit silly. This one is just all silly, and I would definitely rent it before spending your money to buy it.

Summary: A surprisingly Excellent sequel!
Review: For a sequel to a movie that I thought didn't need a sequel, this was wonderful. We meet up again with Rick and Evelyn who have returned to England now have a child, Alex. In Egypt, a band of "bad-guys" search for Imotep once more, the leader, the reencarnated Anuk Sun-a-mun! Bum, bum, bum! :o Brenden Frasier does an excellent job, still portraying Rick as a heroic quipster. Ready to kick some butt when anything threatens and at the same time provides a very amiable and enjoyable character. Rachel Weisz is perfect as Evelyn, still extremely adventurous and unintensionally mischievous. Something I found improved her character from the 1st movie was how much stronger she was depicted. She could take care of herself and kick butt too! Jack Hannah, Jonathon (Evelyn's brother) provides the comedic relief amd does it well. You see the unintensional mischief with him as well, and why shouldn't you, the Jonathon and Evie are siblings. He gives off a sort of cowardish aura, but you see how strong and brave he really is, when needed. Fredie Boath, Alex, was very enjoyable. In many movies, when I child is introduced, they seem in the way or annoying, but Fredie Boath is cute as Alex and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Oded Fehr, is very believable and gives a wonderful performance as the mystical magi, Ardeth Bay. He is a much more prominent character in the sequel and backs up his larger role with great acting. Arnold Vosloo, Imotep, is, like before, the best for the mummy. I found him the perfect bad guy. Vosloo's performance is shockingly scary at times, but so good it gives you shivers. Patricia Velasquez, Anuk Su-na-mun, is focused on 10x more in this movie than her short but very memorable performance in the 1st movie. Velasquez's performance, is excellent. She makes the reencarnated Anuk-Su-Na-Mun, seem more evil and devious than Impotep. She's a wonderful bad-guy and I applaud her performance. I found that smaller characters in the 1st movie became very important in this movie. I found that very clever and much more interesting. One thing I wish had been focused on MUCH more was the flashbacks with past lives. The best scene, I think, is Evelyn and Anuk Su-Na-Mun's flashback of their pasts and how they had been connected. I thought that was so interesting and should have been focused on much more. The Rock, of whom I almost left out, gave a wonderful performance as the Scorpion King. I expected a struggled performance but it waqs excellent. I would love to see a 3rd movie focusing more on Anuk-Su-Na-Mun, Neffirtiri, and Imoptep's connections. Overall, this was a wonderful movie. Excellent sequel for a movie I thought didn't need a sequel. Definitely recommended.

Summary: Mommy against Mummy in a nice sequel!
Review: The Mummy Returns is another roller-coaster ride, just like The
Mummy was, an action-packed thriller chock full of derring-do as
our hero Rick and his wife Evie search Egypt for their kidnapped
son, the obnoxious Alex. (Why would they want this kid back?)
The highlight of this film is the cat-fight between the two babes,
Evie and Anck-su-namun, both scantily-clad and wielding swords
and staves. The special effects are again awesome. Image quality
and sound are excellent. This DVD is loaded with bonus material, the most interesting
being the feature commentary by director Stephen Sommers and
editor Bob Ducsay. in which they point out their mistakes as well
as their triumphs. There's also a very brief interview with "The
Rock" Dwayne Johnson (not being a wrestling fan, I had never
heard of him before!) Plus much, much more. If you enjoyed the
first Mummy movie and DVD, you'll certainly enjoy this one as
well!

Summary: Backgrounds Wonderful
Review: Whenever trying to find the tomb, (I really forgot this movie) they run into a lot of strange things. I'm not giving away the ending. Anyways, it was just great!

Summary: The worst I've seen in a long time!
Review: Never-ending boring unoriginal special effects, that would have obscured the story if there had been one, larded with (not spiced with!) mysticistic egyptianesque mumbo jumbo and mushy sentimentality. The only vaguely interesting scenes are the fights between the bad lady and the good lady. I am glad that I viewed this film as a recording - this allowed me to scrole past (fast view) the uninteresting parts - about two thirds! All this is not the fault of the actors!

Summary: Not As Good As The Original, But Still Great
Review: The Mummy Returns toppled box office charts this summer, and why not? It has the special effects, acting, story, and most of all the appeal to younger audiences. It grossed $201,950,275! It still ranks as #35 of the highest grossing movies of all time. The adventure picks up ten years after the incident at Hamunaptra. And now Rick (Brendan Fraser, Blast From The Past) and Evy (Rachel Weisz, Enemy at the Gates) are now married and have a son, Alex. They then find the bracelet of Anubis, and with that the adventure begins. The library director then brings Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) back to life, with the help of the reincarnated Anuck-Su-Na-Mun (Patricia Velazquez). As good and evil fight for the bracelet, which will resurrect The Scorpion King (The Rock). This film is packed with lost of action and special effects.

Summary: 5 Stars For Kids
Review: It was appropriate that the two lead characters are married and have an 8 year old son. Because 8 to 12 years old is just about right for this picture. I would have loved it at that age (at that age I saw Ray Harryhausen's Seventh Voyage of Sinbad with my friends and we went nuts over it!). It seems to be written and pitched to that age group as well, and if you take it with that in mind, it is a lot of fun. It is CGI gone amok, with tons of stuff and barely enough time in between to catch it's breath. Crazed mummys, even crazier pygmy mummys, villains, ridiculous airships, improbable escapes, and even a nod to Ray Harryhausen with the Scorpion King at the end. All at 90 mph. Ya know, 12 year old stuff. For adults, probably 2-1/2 stars, being generous, unless you're in a 12-year-old frame of mind (which I find myself in from time to time). But it is too loud, fast & furious to put you to sleep, so in the right mood you might enjoy its silliness done with more care than probably necessary. For 8 to 12 year old boys (especially) , I would imagine this is heaven.
