Summary: One of the greats!!!!
Review: As one of the greatist movies the world has seen in the movie theaters now comes to the small screen in your very own house.The movie starts off great and never stops.Brendon Fraser returns as the action struck Rick O'Connell and is now the proud father of a little boy Alex [played by Freddie Boath] and he is also the proud husband of Eve [also returning the very beautiful Rachel Weisz]The movie starts by Rick and Eve looking for the bracelet of Anubis.Also looking for it is the bad men in the story who later steal Alex who puts on the bracelet.Any way the bad men raise Imothep again[also returning Arnold Voslo]They travel all over the world they raise the scorpian king[played by WWF great The Rock]he raises all hell but in the end the good guys prevail and live safely ever after.I believe any real die-hard movie fan should own this movie

Summary: Leave my Mummy alone!
Review: To suggest that you would only watch this film if you didn't have a brain is a little unfair. We all need to sit back and just enjoy some good unadulterated fun sometimes, and this movie dishes it out in spades.

Why is there a problem with films with special effects. The moment someone has make up on it is a special effect, no?

Yes, it would be a lie to say that the film has some deep meaning or is historically correct ( there is much debate about the current accepted history of Egypt, anyway) and the film makes no attempt to take itself seriously. The first movie had the pyramids on the banks of the nile AND at Thebes, but is aimimg for a "look" rather than accuracy.....was there a "Private Ryan", a "Judah Ben Hur"? I could go on.

Obviously, we all have different tastes (imagine how boring films would be if they were all the same because we all liked the same thing!) So, yes, if you want a thoughtful few hours watch Gandhi, Cry Freedom, Mississippi Burning, all brilliant films, but if you have had a hard day at work, and want to just crash out , then watch The Mummy Returns. Just don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it.

Summary: ??????????????
Review: if everyone liked this,what movie did i stumble into????this was ''alright'' up until the ridiculous ending.nowadays,especially with sequals,prequals,1/2 way through it seems like the director is on autopilot.it had its moments,some good ideas/effects.but compared to the first movie,it COMPLETELY LACKED EVERYTHING.THE CHEMISRTY WAS NON EXISTANT.THE ADDED CHARACTORS WERE BUFFOONS.why do i always get suckered into dishing out $$$$$$ to sequals i know thats gonna rot?my only hope is the matrix.only the ghost of ED WOOD could muck that up.

Summary: THIS MOVIE [STINKS]
Review: Normally I would never write a review, I just don't. But as we have all learned from this past week, terror stirrs us to action. Don't even spend time thinking about spending money on this movie. This movie was almost as bad as Battlefield Earth! Plus, it is in some pre-order competition with the Simpson's Complete 1st season, so don't let the world think that this moivie is even a little good! Help Brendan Fraiser save the world from the Mummy, by not buying it, or even talking about it, or saying the name of the movie out loud!

Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: The Mummy Returns was a huge disappointment to me a huge fan of the great B movie fun of the first one I was absolutly disappointed by this unimaginative typical hollywood sequel formula shlock designed to seperate you from your money with the least amount of effort.Note to hollywood..special effects AND an intelligent story line are the keys to a good screenplay I already have dim hopes for the third installment yet to hit movie theatres.I would recomend to Mummy Fans save your dollar just go watch the first one again it at least frolicked in its own silliness enough to be fun or go watch Indiana Jones Nuff said...

Summary: Get Real....
Review: ... not all movies are academy award winners. That doesn't mean that they aren't fun and enjoyable. Sit back with a big bucket of buttered popcorn. turn off the brain for a few hours and have a good time with characters you love already.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible, Terrible Movie!
Review: I loved the previous and original 'Mummy' movies, but 'The Mummy Returns' is a complete insult to the audience. The overwhelming, annoying amount of special effects? (Do you remember the cheesy images of the Scorpion King at the end? What was he doing winking at the camera?) The plot that completely forgets that of the previous 'Mummy' movie? There are many actors in this movie with some great potential that spend the whole movie "acting" to the special effects? The only thing we are telling the Hollywood studios, by making this movie one of the highest-grossing of the year, is that we want computer special effects to take the place of real acting and story. If we quit wasting our money on terrible movies like this, Hollywood will realize that we are tired of stupid movies like this and start making real films again!
I want two hours of my life back!

Summary: What did you expect?
Review: The backlash against "The Mummy Returns" has been loud and harsh, and I can't help but wonder why. What did everyone think this movie was going to be like? The original "Mummy" was no work of art, no feat of great cinema. But it was fun. Lots of fun. "The Mummy Returns" is even more fun, dare I say the best film of its kind since the last time Indiana Jones cracked his whip. It's brash, heroic, corny, cliched, overblown, overlong and loud. And I love every damn minute of it. Roger Ebert said that "The Mummy Returns" is a bad popcorn movie and that "Tomb Raider" was a good popcorn movie, and that it was his job to know these things. Apparently, Ebert isn't doing his job as well as he used to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Part of the Indiana Jones genre.
Review: I did not care for the 1999 Mummy film, but The Mummy Returns was a great movie and the only really fun film that was shown all summer. Set ten years after the original film, The O'Conell family must once again face a revived Egyptian Prince and his revived Lover who want to conquer mankind and rule the Earth, plus there is the new evil of the Scorpion King to deal with. Great acting by the actors who play the O'Connel family; Rick, Evie, and their son Alex (Branden Fraiser, Rachel Weisz, and Fredie Boath). Written and Directed by Stephen Sommers. Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri. Visual Effects by Industrail Light and Magic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: This movie is "AWESOME" Stephen Somers is a great director in this film. This movie is better than the first one,it
has more twists and turns action to this movie. You should see this movie, and it's a great one, to your DVD collection. It's a very fast paced action-adventure horror film.
