Rating: Summary: Stephem Sommers does it again. Review: While there is less of a story than in the first one, we see a movie like "The Mummy Returns" to see action and special effects at their best. Stephem Sommers, who directed the first "Mummy" and 1998's superior creature feature "Deep Rising" has once again mastered the art of special effects in this non stop action packed sequal that takes the effects of the original and pushes them further and harder. The result is pure fun. Brendan Fraser and the beautiful Rachel Weisz are back as the O'Connels, and they are game for this rock em, sock em action flick that delivers the goods and leaves you gasping for breath.
Rating: Summary: The Mummy or The Mummy Returns Review: Personally, I think that The Mummy Returns is the better of the two. It intertwinded the characters so much that it made it very interesting to watch. It was an amazing film with a hot star actor to boot! If you haven't seen this, you're missing out!! ... ... ...Thanks so much!!
Rating: Summary: I loved it Review: The plot has been summarized by others, so I guess I don't need to. I really liked the first Mummy movie, so when all of the charachters I had grown to really like came back and a few more were added, this one caught me, too. There were a lot of allusions to the first movie that I thought were very funny, but when I saw it in the theater (twice I add grinning sheepishly) no one else seemed to pick up on those subtle allusions. There were also a lot of allusions to other movies. One that stuck out was a pygmy mummy that was on a falling log and rode it into the chasm like Dr Strangelove, which you don't see unless you look carefully. And while they did revisit the first movie with some quick references, they did not just rewrite it, there is plenty of new material. I thought that it was funny how Rick and Evie's son Alex is just as much like his uncle as he is his parents, which I thought made for some funny scenes. The only thing I didn't like was the previous life thing, but I won't say too much and ruin it for those of you who have yet to see it. I found this to be a very enjoyable movie. Someone else who wrote a review on this movie said don't take it too seriously and you'll enjoy it more, I have to agree with that. It's just a fun movie to escape from your world for a while. So that's my take on it. Go see it, you may laugh.
Rating: Summary: The Mummy Returns Review: This movie was the best!!! I thought that it was better than The Mummy!!! It is now 1933 10 years after the first. Rick and Evylen are married with a son named Alex. Imhotep and his girlfriend are shiped to London to be put on display. But when a large group of people awake Imhotep. The Bad starts to happen. I want you to see this movie. It Was GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: 6 STARS!!! Review: This movie is the best movie ever! I haven't seen the Mummy, because i thought it was a phony. You know, stupid. But now i've seen The Mummy Returns, i'm going to see the Mummy. And i'm going to buy Mummy Returns on DVD. The Mummy Returns is now my favorite movie. who ever made this movie, God Bless You:-)SEE THIS MOVIE NOW! OR JUST BUY IT WHEN IT COMES OUT ON DVD OR VHS!
Rating: Summary: Total waste of time Review: I give this movie one star and that is basically only because I actually did stay awake and in the theater through the entire movie. This was such a ridiculus onslought of continouslly over the top stunts, rehashed moments and poor attempts at humor that I was extremely glad I saw it at matinee price instead of full price. If you are going to see the Rock, save your money because the first three minutes of the movie is all you get. Which the exception of the ludicrous, poorly done computer graphic Scorpion King at the end. I went into this movie with moderate aspirations and was unfortunately disappointed.
Rating: Summary: The greatest movie for May Review: I absolutely loved the movie! I think it was a great sequel and that Stephen Sommers did an excellent job on it. I also think that the Rock did an excellent acting job. Speaking of the Rock, I can't wait to see his new movie next May entitled The Scorpion King which is a prequel based on The Mummy Returns, which talks about the Scorpion King's life. My favorite characters were Alex o'Connell, Lock-Nah,Rick o'Connell, Evelyn O'Connell, Meela, and Jacques. I hope Stephen Sommers makes a The Mummy 3.
Rating: Summary: good for laughs Review: The plot was a little weak but the laughs made up for it. Some of the special effects were very obvious. For instance, in one fight scene, you can tell that they had increased the speed of the film to try to make it look like a real fight scene. Still it was fun to watch.
Rating: Summary: A Lot of Action... Review: This movie had quite a bit of action, but the dialog was weak, the plot was thin and predictable. They made heavy use of computer generated animation. These effects were great, with an exception... The Scorpion King, in his unholy, undead semi-scorpion mode looked more cartoonish than just about anything run on Saturday mornings. It proved to be THE major detractor from what would have been otherwise a very fun film.
Rating: Summary: My Idea Of The Mummy Returns Review: I thought The Mummy Returns was a [great] action movie, I mean it had everything; action, adventure, suspense, and romance. I can't wait for this movie to come out to buy, because i can tell you that alot of persons would buy it. The Mummy Returns, i think, was one of the best sequel movies ever made, but i dont think it could compare to The Lost World, or Jaws 2 and on, but this was one of the best movies of the year. And hopefully they might make a third somehow. The Mummy Returns starts off in ancient times to the day of the Scorpion King, it tells about how he sold is soul to the god Anubis, in order to win one more battle. The story takes place nine years later from the first and Rick and Evelyn are married, and have a 8 year old son. Evelyn decideds to do one more adventure, find the braclete of Anbubis, that was said would guide you to a golden pyramaid. when ther son Alex puts the braclete on a chain reaction starts and Rick and Evelyn are on a journey to save the world and their son. Some of the cast is Brendan Frasher (Rick O' Connel), Rachel Weiz (Evelyn O' Connel), John Hannah (Johnathon Carnahan), Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep), Oded Fehr (Cheifton of the Medjai), and introducing The Rock as The Scorpion King.
