Summary: My 911 on The Mummy Returns
Review: The Mummy Returns in an exhilarating special effects thrill ride!
Nothing is left out in this Movie..Special effects, great cast, and awesome plot. the Movie is Funny but yet Action Filled at the same time.
Im not suprised at all that it was number one grossed over $150 million worldwide, and I cant wait till The Preguel Comes out next year in April. "The Scorpion King", As soon as I get out of school October 2nd, Im Heading Strait to Best Buy to get 4 of The mummy returns dvd sets...I Promise you, there is no better movie to watch other then The Mummy Returns, The Mummy was good, but returns has a little more edge to it, and definatly more action and humor. I Do Hope that Rachel Weiz will return for a possile Mummy 4.....if there's The Scorpion King,I think there'll be a mummy 4.

Summary: The gang is back...
Review: In The Mummy, we saw unlikely characters come together to face an unspeakable evil. You had an ex Legionnaire, played by Fraser, a clumsy but beautiful librarian (Weisz), her gold hungry brother, and an Arabian holy warrior fighting to keep a mystical mummy from coming to full power. It was a great romp and we had a blast watching it. In my opinion, the best thing about the Mummy Returns is that not only does the Mummy return, so does everyone else...well at least everyone who may not have died in the first one. It is great to see all the familiar characters come back. Once again, the believability and plot are stretched to their limits but also once again, the movie moves at a blinding pace. The action and story are well structured, and the script is solid, if not hokey at times. The story is more original, dealing with the reincarnation of Imhotep's lover as well as raising the Mummy again as well. A chase begins, as Rick and Evelyn (and friends) pursue Imhotep and his allies across the desert. In the tradition of making a sequel bigger and better, the formula sometimes gets too big for it's own borders, but director Stephen Sommers seems to know when to draw the line in most cases. He maintains control and still keeps the movie from going awry. The special effects are once again incredible, but in some places, too much CGI may have been used. The fight scene at the end would have been better if they had toned down certain aspects. I won't say more about it for fear or ruining it for those who may not have seen it, but if you liked the first movie, there is no reason why you wouldn't like this one. You may not like it as much, or you may like it more. But like the first one, take it for what is; entertainment. Nothing more.

Summary: A lower Return on investment but still quite good
Review: Sometimes more isn't better and like many of the b movies of the 30's and 40's The Mummy Returns is bigger, faster and a bit more intense than the first film. In the case of The Mummy Returns more is less. Sommers does a nice job of reintroducing elements and characters from the first film without remaking it. While the film has its moments, it's a bit too predictable and lacking much of the sparks of the first film.I have to give Sommers credit as he could just have remade the first film scene for scene with more gore. Instead he attempts to come up with a film that builds on The Mummy. Unfortunately, he isn't completely successful. Still, he does manage to provide a fun thrill ride for two hours. Just as the second Indiana Jones film (and, yes, even the third film in the series) coudln't quite equal the impact of the first, TMR is at a disadvantage from the first frame. It's a been there done that type of film. TMR works best if you view it much like the Indiana Jones films; the first film was merely the first episode of a 1940's "serial". The thrills can be difficult to maintain but sometimes just going along for the ride is enough. TMR doesn't recapture the sense of wonder evident in the first film but does manage to transcend the problems of most sequels. Credit must be given to the performers who clearly are having a blast returning to their roles and Sommers' script which still manages to infuse thrills, chills and wit in all the proper places.

Summary: The Dummy Returns
Review: Not only does the "Rock" look like a genius next to that dim witted buffoon people like to call brendan fraser; he actually carries the weight of the film on his shoulders. The "rock's" screen presence of an entire 5 minutes and his masterful delivery of his 5 words are far out shadowed by the goofy so-called archeologist(fraser). I am having nightmares re-living this piece of filth; in fact this movie should be banned, burned what ever. Scratch that this movie should be required viewing so the future filmmakers will learn from disasters, because we all know if we try to forget the past then history is doomed to repeat itself. What's that you say Universal has already repeated itself, oh yeah this is the famed B movie company that put out the original Mummy series. This company was so bad that they kept on making horrible sequels to their movies. They stuck with the program, so you should expect many more Mummy movies starring that oaf fraser (I did not capitalize his name on purpose. Why you ask? Because he does not deserve to be given capital letters, I only gave the Rock capital letters beacause I felt bad for him. I mean he had to deal with that louse, he must be a saint. Rent the movie fast forward to the part where the Rock turns into a GIANT SCORPIAN. The animation in this scene is so horrible, I couldn't stop laughing, in fact I'm laughing right now.

Summary: The Crummy
Review: It's bad. It's really bad. The action's o.k., and the effects are nice, but it's bad. I thought the first mummy was really fun, had a nice story, and was all together a pretty good movie. While watching "The Mummy 2: The Crummy", I kept saying to myself "What the (expletive)?". The little pigmy monsters, the elaborate sand models the kid made, the balloon, the fake looking CG when mixed with real people, the...everything. The reason I give it two stars instead of zero, is that I liked the way it flushed out the story between the mummy and his woman, expanding on the footage shown at the beginning of the first film. If you really liked the first one, a lot, watch this movie once to get that back story, and then forget about it. Or don't watch it at all, so you can have a fond memory of the first one. Actually, you should go rent the old 1932 version of the mummy. It's great!

Summary: A fun but dumb Mummy
Review: The Mummy Returns was a box office hit but I guess that's because there's a
lot of Rock fans out there. Meanwhile his appearence in this film is no big
deal, he just utters some words in another language on the beginning and is
just a CGI giant scorpion creature at the end. It's hardly a big deal. On
top of that Brendon Fraser and Racheal Weiz smooch way too much in this one,
I felt like yelling "get the hook". The movie can also be slow and lame at
times and it's not even as fun as the first one.It's mostly just the first
one all over again too, plus the mummy himself just comes off as an idiot
this time around. However I can't say it isn't fun at times though and that
the visuals aren't cool. I'm giving it a very mild recommendation because
kids from 6 to 20 should like it.

Summary: Not really under success wraps
Review: Well comparing with the first movie, this was a disappointment. Production wise. I enjoyed the story, although it was pretty much predictable towards the end. Sorry to say, but aside from that I guess it was entertaining. The movie failed in production because of a downgrade in quality. Especially with that scorpion king supernatural mutant at the end...WHAT WAS THAT!!! I was so excited to see really state of the art CG productions and during the climax - the movie fails to follow. Big let down! But in fairness to the makers of this surprise flick. I love the series and I think it earns a spot on having a third installment, if that's still a possibility. But it would be best to maintain the quality it showed during the first movie. Hoping for a better one.

Summary: To Much LOVE
Review: This movie was definitly not the best of the first two films. They put to much love in the movie and you cannot do that with Thrillers or Action Adventure movies. If you want a good movie that does not put love first, go see Jurassic Park 3.

Summary: See it for the plot and actors but not The Rock
Review: ok most people where dissapointed that The Rock (Dawane Johnson) himself only apperd for about 5 min and his face is also coumputer anamated toward the end of the movie. But The Scopin King witch is staring The Rock shoud hopefully be better and is not to includ any of the cast from The Mummy and The Mummy returns. The plot is bretty good but I choud have writen a better story my-self. The acting is also good to with all of the caraters. Like I seaid see the movie for the plot not The Rock
