Rating: Summary: Fun Movie Review: This movie was a fun, exciting and sometimes dumb movie. It was never marketed as anything different and anyone who saw the first knew what to expect. I loved it. Can't wait for the DVD.
Rating: Summary: "The Mummy Returns returns with less plot but more action" Review: The movie was filled with action but hardly a plot. They used phrases that were not even invented at that time like "Get a room".The plot was not as strong as the original. Brendan Fraiser and Rachel Weiz are to busy making out to even watch there son for three freakin minutes, even though mummies are walking around sucking people dry. And what happens, their son gets caught, and they think "Oh No, We were watching him carefully. That Bull! But besides that it is filled with action you enjoy, the Rock has a small part. If you like a strong story line don't go see it, if you like action see it!- ...
Rating: Summary: So the mummy returns?...did we need him to? Review: I enjoyed THE MUMMY, but before going to see this one I somehow knew it wasn't going to be good. Well, I was right. If you are looking for a movie that will showcase the latest in CGI technology, by all means see it. Just don't look for interesting characters or a good story. The first movie was good. It was one of those movies that in the future if it's on during a lazy Sunday, you will watch it. It had that quality about it. The sequel left me wishing for it be over as I sat in the theater. The story becomes borderline ridiculous and the acting, well, they knew their lines at least. It follows a formula. For example, in the first one we had the crazy biplane pilot, now we have a crazy blimp pilot. It seems to me that the legacy of Ancient Egypt could help a writer create some more interesting aspects to this movie. Well, I was wrong.
Rating: Summary: It delivers exactly what is promised.. Review: This is a great action/adventure film. I saw this in the theatre, not expecting to see some great drama, and I was amazed by this film's level of entertainment. It was billed as an action/adventure film and that is exactly what you see on the screen. The special effects were very good, except for one effect at the end involving the depiction of the Scorpion King which could have been done better. The action is fast and furious, the film is never boring, and the flesh eating beetles are back! So far, this is the only "Summer Film" that delivered the goods. I can't wait for the DVD.
Rating: Summary: More adventure less horror Review: The first Mummy picture was much more of a horror/adventure movie with the human/love story thrown in almost as an afterthought. It was really pretty scarey and horrifying. The second Mummy story, albiet more special effects, is much more of an adventure story with more human focus. I wasn't scared at all, and there was none of the suspense that was in the first movie. There was more of a plot, I loved them both, the focus was just a bit different in each.
Rating: Summary: The Mummy Returned but the "magic" didn't Review: "The Mummy" is one of my favorite films. The effects were excellent, the music was good and the film was exciting and action packed, but most of all there was a special chemistry on screen between the actors and that made the film so much fun to watch. In "The Mummy Returns" I was expecting and hoping for the same magical chemistry that made the first one so much fun to watch and it just didn't happen. I can't help but feel that the special effects were enhanced and, it seemed, made more important then the story or the acting. Both of which felt contrived, almost as though the director felt as if he put the cast on the set together the same thing would happen on screen as did in the first movie and that just didn't work. The actors still need a script and some direction to recapture that same feel. Unfortunately, neither the script, with all it's witty moments in the first movie, nor the screen moments and expressions were present, which leads me to feel as though the director didn't provide the actors with the right stimulus to draw out an equal performance. So why did I give the movie four stars? Bottom line... I still enjoyed the film and although I felt somewhat slighted compared to the first one, I only had to remind myself "it's a sequel," never as good as the original and take the movie at face value. See it just for what it was a special effects film designed more to push the technical envelope of special effects for sheer entertainment then for it's acting and on-screen moments between the characters and at this they succeeded admirably. Whether you have seen the first movie or not, if you like special effects and allot of action you will enjoy this film. Buy it! This review relates to the cinematic release
Rating: Summary: Fantastic movie Review: This is what you call entertainment. I'm impressed that the sequel is just as good, with packed actions from Start to End. The script was well written and the effects were fabulous. I wouldn't mind watching it again and will definitely buy a DVD. I do have but 2 complaints: 1) Theaters are ripping people off big time from selling Popcorn and drinks. 2) Movies starts are getting ridiculously overpaid, and we end up paying too much for movies. Let's fight back: bring your own munchies and water.
Rating: Summary: Imhotep returns, this time better than ever!!! Review: The mummy returns is the best action movie I've ever seen! It is cool, fun, and the specialFX are terrific! I would da like to say to Rachel:" you are the most beautiful women in the world", because she is great! The movie is great too, and the adventure returns with more power than the first movie. The funny parts are good, but it's better if you've seen the first one. I recomend everyone to watch it, and if you think this is rubbish, you're not good at movies, mate!
Rating: Summary: THE FIRST IS A LOT BETTER Review: I WAS LOOKING FOWARD TO THIS MOVIE FOR MONTHS, I SAW IT THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT AND I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED. THE PLOT WAS TERRIBLE, AND THE MUMMY IMHOTEP WAS HARDLY IN IT. THE FIRST MUMMY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME, BUT THIS MOVIE WAS BAD. THE ONLY RESON I GAVE IT TWO STARS WAS FOR THE SPEACIAL EFFECTS, EVEN THOUGH THE SCORPIAN KING LOOKS LIKE A CARTOON CHARACTER
Rating: Summary: Brilliant Review: I found this movie to be totally awesome. I found myself caught up in the action that occured. Another good thing for this movie is that all the original actors are still present, which is a bonus for a sequel. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD to add it to my copy of the MUMMY.
