Summary: Better everytime I see it.........
Review: I recieved the Mummy Collection as a gift and I am very pleased with the DVD versions of the movie. The picture and sound quality is excellent. The extras that come on the extra disc(s) are worth seeing. Also, if you don't like the wide-screen, there is the full screen edition available as well.

Summary: Fun and fabulous
Review: I'm certainly no fan of Brendan Frasier, but in these two movies, well, he sort of grew on me. I actually didn't like the first movie originally, but after seeing the second one I gave the first another try, and now I almost like it better than the sequel. What draws me to these is the atmosphere - everything dealing with the ancient Egyptian ruins is wonderfully portrayed. I really felt as if I was in some fabulous, lost civilization. And when they do flashbacks to ancient times, the imagery is breathtaking. The special effects - which are either as subtle or spectacular as the scene calls for - are blended so seamlessly with the live-action stuff that you don't even notice they're special effects.The action in both movies moves along nicely, and the characters are likable and sympathetic. I found myself rooting for them - yes, even Frasier's character. In the second movie the bad guys (Imhotep and Anck Su Namun) steal the show, but it's just the sort of release from the goody-goody lead characters that is needed to keep the movie from getting too sugary sweet. I've watched these movies every time they'e been on TV, so I've seen both probably five times, but still feel the need to buy the DVD's. They're just that good. If you want to forget all about reality for a couple of hours and travel to an exotic place for an exciting adventure, check these out.

Summary: Bennie. Looks like your on the wrong side of the river!
Review: If you can't have fun watching this movie, you are on the wrong side of the river and have no horses. The mmumy starring Brendan Fraser was an immediate family hit. We bought the VHS and liked it so much we bought the DVD as well. The only part we FF past is the semi nude scene in the being. Brendan Fraser was already a family favorite for his George of the Jungle. Now we just call him RICK.

Summary: Excellent films and excellent value for money
Review: If you haven't seen 'The Mummy' and it's fantastic sequel, 'The Mummy Returns' then you've really missed out on two of the most brilliant action/adventure films of our time. In 'The Mummy', ex-Foreign Legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), librarian, Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) and her brother, all round scoundrel, Jonathan (John Hannah), travel to the City of the Dead, Hamunaptra. Here they accidentally unleash, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a ancient Eqyptian priest who was cursed with the Hom-Dai - buried alive with flesh-eating scarabs. For years, Hamunaptra has been guarded by the warrior descendants of the Pharoah's bodyguard who condemned Imhotep to his death, the Medjai. Their leader is, Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), and he joins forces with Rick and Jonathan as they try to save Evelyn from being killed by Imhotep when he kidnaps her in order to use her in a ritual that will bring back the soul of his long lost love, Anck-su-namun. 'The Mummy Returns' takes place ten years on from the original. The now married, Evelyn and Rick, along with their son, Alex, have discovered the bracelet of Anubis that once belonged to the Scorpion King. Evil doers need this bracelet to raise the army of Anubis to take over the world. In order to help them, the baddies raise, Imhotep, with the aid of a woman who is the reincarnation of Anck-su-namun. Ardeth turns up at Rick and Evie's house in London after following the baddies there. Alex is wearing the bracelet and has started a chain reaction which leads Rick, Evie, Ardeth and Jonathan back to Egypt when the boy is kidnapped. The special effects in these films are amazing and it's action from the word go. All the character's are very easy to like, even Imhotep is a sympathetic figure when you realise everything he did was for love. My personal favourite though is the mysterious Medjai leader, Ardeth Bay - luckily he appears more in the sequel which was a plus for me. In fact, the character of Ardeth was going to die in the first film but, Oded Fehr, portrayed him so charismatically that the writer, Stephen Sommers, changed his mind and let him live for the sequel. 'The Mummy' DVD includes commentary from Brendan Fraser on his own or Oded Fehr, Arnold Vosloo and Kevin J.O'Connor (Beni) - I recommend listening to the three men as they are very funny and you learn alot. The bonus disks contain many extra's including outtakes (from 'The Mummy Returns' - look out for the Star Trek homage), interviews with the writer, Stephen Sommers and The Rock (Scorpion King), facts on Egpyt and a music video. There's so much on them that it'll keep you busy for hours. Plus, the case it comes in is also well thought out and the disks actually form part of a big picture that opens out. This really is excellent value for money, well packaged and extremely interesting. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Not Ingmar Bergman, and thank Anubis for that!
Review: Let me say this right now: if you want a film about disaffected, angst-ridden French intellectuals whispering in seedy hotel rooms about the oppressiveness of their lives, then The Mummy & its brother-in-wrappings The Mummy Returns are not for you. On the other hand, if you're up for two frenetic hours of eye-popping special effects, occasionally breath-taking cinematography, a fast-paced and relentless story that doesn't drag, brilliantly choreagraphed action and melee scenes, and the lovely Rachel Weisz, then you could do far worse than buy this handsomely bound and bonus-stuffed Collectors Edition. In General: The stories in both films are fast-paced, frenetic, and mercifully concise; the reborn evil sorceror Imhotep's race against the Scorpion King to command the armies of Anubis the second film is slightly more engaging than the first movie, which is basically an effects-pumped retread of the classic 1930's Boris Karloff vehicle. Both movies are charmingly ghoulish and appropriately grotesque: scarab beetles devour their screaming victims, Egyptian sealed tomb death traps scald their victims to jelly, and the putrefying mummy, face bulging with grubs and maggots, proffers kisses to a cringing heroine! All of this is shot with cinematic aplomb and a complete suspension of disbelief that nonetheless takes itself not a whit seriously---and the result is that both films manage to out-swashbuckle the last two Indiana Jones films, and equal the thrills of the original. High-points: Director Stephen Sommers is a master at directing action scenes, a talent which cannot be praised too highly; if only Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson had Sommers to restore order to LOTR's muddled and uninspired melee sequences. Sommers, like George Lucas, keeps the audience apprised of where the action is and where the next blow is coming from, which enhances the suspense of the fight sequences. The climactic battle scene of Mummy Returns, where bedouins are pitted against an army of jackal-headed undead, is one of the more horrific battle sequences in cinematic history. The acting is competent all around, with Rachel Weisz consummately fetching, Brendan Fraser hamming it up, Arnold Vasloo menacing as the reborn Imhotep, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson pulling off a final thrilling fight sequence with a warrior-scorpion body he might want to borrow for the WWF ring. Both films are offered up with ambience, panache, thrills, and enough Egyptian exotica to sate Ramses himself. The films have all the staples of Saturday cinema and then some: zombie pygmies, dastardly red-robed villains, a fog-shrouded Victorian London teeming with the unquiet, the smouldering confines of the Scorpion King's temple chamber, a well-choreagraphed cat-fight between the heroine and Imhotep's lost love, and scarab beetles, mummies, ghouls, and king cobras galore! The Mummy films rank as two of the most satisfying horror/adventure movies ever made, perfect for imaginative 10-year olds (in spirit and body) the world over.

Summary: Lots of good stuff here, almost as good as the first
Review: Okay, lot of comments on this movie from others. Let me just say that one of the things I'll give them credit for is taking a lot of chances with stuff in this movie, many of which succeed, and some fail. Yes, I agree some of the special effects are downright distracting. I really dis-liked the hot-rodded air balloon. But, weigh those annoyances against the absolutely awesome dueling scene between the two woman in ancient Egypt. Buy the DVD just to watch that scene over and over. Nice to have some talented action females, not just poseurs (Charlies Angels, ugh). Also, there is some really decent non-action stuff going on - a kid actor that does a nice job, especially interacting with his captors. Lots of positives with this flic, so don't let some glaring special effect errors ruin having a good time.
