Review of The Mummy / The Mummy Returns / The Scorpion King (DVD)

The Mummy Movies

Advantages: Having all 3 films in one.
Disadvantages: 3 films in one.

The Mummy is a good film, though it is a done before film, it is still action packed, hilourous in places, and has it's share of romance, and special effects. The acting is good, and the film is full of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. The Mummy 2 is just as good. It isn't a copy of number one either, so it makes it worth watching for the special effects. The Rock's brief apperance in this makes it worth watching. Scorpian King, was a ...

...Sergeant McManus This is an excellent film that has a brilliant story. The story is quite simple but features some great dialogue and quirky special effects. The cast is not exactly full of big stars but John Landis, who wrote and directed this film has managed to get some brilliant performances from the cast.
