The Mummy Returns (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD]

Here's 1 example of what happens when a movie studio makes a sequel just because the original (the 1st remake of a classic or 1st of a series is successful) you get something like this.I'm not saying this movie is bad, but I also don't really understand so many great reviews. There are a few plotholes, a few coincidences, as in people not dying or dying because something random happens to save or kill them, and then you have the usual minions who are in this literally only to die, also some of the most stupid dialogue I've ever heard in a movie (our soles will mate forever.........are you kidding me?) It's not so much romantic as plain stupid.If your following the movie closely, it should mostly make sense, or you'll have watched a movie which, as fun as it can be, is quite frankly silly and plain ridiculous as the writers and director do what they can to stretch out a plot from the original which for this 1, is a bit overblown. The jist of the movie is getting to a location in time to save a child and saving the world from a villain or 2 who want loads of people dead and to rule the world by controlling an evil army cliché.Imotep or however you spell his name is back, but not as scary and the effects are fairly strong in some places and fall totally flat in others. But this was released in 2001 so hey. However, this is still better than the 3rd 1 which won't be mentioned.On a side note, the O"connell's son is a really big pain in the butt, his character doesn't improve much in part 3 either even though he's older. There is a warrior guy who seems obsessed with killing the O"connell's boy in this 1, he never gets to but I guess it's the thought that counts because I don't condone child murder in movies. It's sadistic and not necessary because there are other means to expand or progress with a plot.I'm only reviewing this movie because I watched it after ages with my brother and thought I'd review. If I noted down the plotholes for this one which I might do later, I don't know how long that would take.

We all know that sequels are rarely on par with first outings, but this one simply sucks.So Evelyn is a reincarnated princess (Imhotep didn't seem to know her first time round), O'connell grew up in an orphanage in Cairo (yet seems to be very AMERICAN), O'connell Jr. doesn't know how old he is or what year it is (perhaps Evie got pregnant and gave birth the same day) and Jonathan can find an abandoned Routemaster bus to borrow 22 years before they came into service (that one's particularly impressive).A fun romp. Leave your brain at the door, though.

Giveaway title lets you know that this is the sequel to The Mummy. Cue lots of crash bang wallop action all the way, plenty of special effects, and the odd bit of ancient egyptian ghost gore thrown in for good measure. Never takes itself seriously, and while it's not as good as the first (hey, what sequel ever is), kick back and enjoy it, there are worse films to watch.

The film starts with The Scorpion King leading his army on a campaign to conquer the world. The Scorpion King and his army are defeated and exiled to the desert of Ahm Shere and his pyramid is hidden in a jungle for years to come.In 1933, Rick and Evelyn O'Connell explore a ruined mortuary structure in the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes with their son, Alex. They find the Bracelet of Anubis. In London, Alex puts on the bracelet, which shows him a vision with directions to the Oasis of Ahm Shere. Alex has seven days to reach the oasis, or the bracelet will kill him the moment the sun's rays shine on the Scorpion King's pyramid.Rick and Alex run to the pyramid, barely making it before sunrise. The bracelet detaches from Alex's arm.This film is good to watch and has lots of action. Watch out for the appearance of the London LT bus in the film.

Two disc box set, arrived with wrapped and supposedly new, only one DVD in it and it was the bonus features..NO FILM. Don't use A Entertainment. One star as had to or can't submit review...Don't deserve any.

The Mummy Returns. U.K 12cert. Uncut.Very good picture quality 2.35:1, top & bottom black bars.An England to Egypt excursion spiced up with somerip snorting action. Surprisingly violent, though notoverly, and loaded with humour. Naturally the FXlook a bit dated now, but the film never looksanything less than lavish. 2001. Run time: 2hr 4min 2secs.Extras: commentary, an army to rule the world pt 2,unravelling the legacy of The Mummy.

Yip I like it, entertains , exciting, not as good as first but sequels generally aren't as good as 1st film ...however it does introduce new character.

Great family entertainment one of the rare sequels as good as the the mummy
