Review of Constantine (DVD)

There's a sting in this tale!

Advantages: Exciting, action-packed
Disadvantages: Bit too much for one film, flaws/holes in the plot

...as I had recently seen the third and first of the films, decided it was best to review them in order! Firstly a piece of advice, although I will try my absolute best not to plonk in any big spoilers here (with regard to the first film - this will be hard) I think it is best not to see this review until you've watched the first film. It should make sense, but it's always better to do things in sequence! I really enjoyed the first film, and so when ...
...- if you've not seen the first film, read this bit** Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz), the clumsy librarian and her brother, Jonathan found an unusual, star shaped item inside a tomb, decided to investigate and went on an exploring journey. On their way, they met Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), a prisoner, who agreed to help in return for his freedom. But there were other Americans on a treasure hunt and between the two gangs they managed to awaken ...

Review of The Mummy Returns (DVD)

Adventure is reborn!!

Advantages: You don't need to have seen the first one to watch this.
Disadvantages: Is there any???

...Many compare this sequel to the first movie The Mummy, however, you do not need to do this, the film can definately be watched without having seeing the first one, but I reccommend watching it so you might aswell see it first. If you have not seen the first one, basically a librarian named Evie is particularly interested in the Egyptian history and when her brother Johnathon finds an interesting key she can not help but work out what it is used for. ...
...a humerous adventure to unleash the evil Imhotep who was mummified alive for murdering the Pharoah. Evie her brother and Rick unleash a deadly curse that many have feared for years. In the second one the corpse of Imhotep is resurrected in a British museum as it is the year of the Scorpion and the Scorpion Kings bracelet has been found by Rick and Evie (who are now married). Unfortunately their son puts on the bracelet which leads them to the Scorpion ...

Review of The Mummy Returns (DVD)

Had such potential

Advantages: Easy to watch
Disadvantages: Lacks substance

I have to say that i DO like this film, it's not the exactly ground breaking but if you just want to sit and watch something thats easy to follow, doesn't have any elaborate twists and is generally fun, then i imagine you'll enjoy this film, just don't expect a lot from it. The film could have been so much darker and more intense than the final product was to be and the rather cheesy relationship the main character has with the Devil is rather odd. ...
...I am also a big fan of special effects and i was somewhat let down by this film, I felt that there wasn't enough creatures from hell and the special effects of the ones we did see were simply bog standard. Considering a relatively good cast was involved i really think a good chance was missed to make a truely epic movie. Yet, if you just want to be entertained after a long day at work, i think this would be a good watch. ...

Review of Constantine (Special Edition) (DVD)

Beware of Mummy

Advantages: The lovely Rachel Weisz
Disadvantages: Only appears in the last two

The Mummy was first on the scene, in this epic trilogy set in 1920's Egyptian that follows the exploits of a group of archaeologists led by adventurer Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) that discovers the mummified body of Imhotep, an Egyptian priest who was cursed for falling in love with the Pharoah's mistress. Naturally they accidentally resurrect him thus ensuring a rocket ride battle for their survival in a bid to halt the mummy to reclaim his ...
...Although a dark comedy, the balance between the horror and the comedy is so well placed that it's a fun ride for anyone who watches it. Fun performances from Fraser and Rachel Weisz add to the tongue-in-cheek Saturday matinee appeal boosted by modern special effects can only improve on the Raiders of the lost Arch genre. . Screenwriter/director Stephen Sommers has taken license on this format and extended belief with flesh-eating beetles and battling ...
