The mummy returns is the follow up film to guess what the mummy. The original tells us of the adventures of a young couple who awaken an ancient egyptian sorcerer out for revenge on the world and guess what that young weak couple end up killing the supernatural superpowerful supervillian. Although I only watched the first film after I watched the sequel
Then I decided I may as well let go and try to enjoy the film, and my word I enjoyed the film!!!
I watched The Mummy and never really felt I was watching anything of a great quality there, having read a few reviews on it saying how bad it was.The second is a great film I need to say is that it doesn’t matter at all if you have seen the first film at all. I assume it would allow you to get a few of the references to the first film, but I pretty much figured out what they were on about really easily and this allowed me to enjoy the sequel
If you are a big fan of history and Egyptian myth and all of that gubbins then I would say don’t expect this film to increase your knowledge of what you already know. watch The Mummy Returns if you want an action packed fantasy thriller that has its moments with comedy romance and horror.
>>>>>>The plot
I know I don’t give a lot away below, but it is hard to explain the plot, it makes a lot more sense if you watch it, then the complicated plot fits into place easily, honest. But here are a few of the main points.
The year is 1933, a mere 10 years after the first adventure ( funny how they actually look younger though). The Main characters, Rick O’connell and Evelyn are now married with an 8 year old son, Alex and are settled in London.
When Alex tries on a nice golden bracelet things take a turn for the worst. The Scorpion King who’s (story is explained at the beginning of the film) will return with his army of monsters to destroy the world. Not only that but the Original Mummy from the first film, Imhotep is resurrected and kidnaps Alex who is now the only one who can find the Scorpion King.
Can the O’connells rescue their son, stop Imhotep, again, and save the world from The Scorpion King, brace your selves!
>>>>>>Characters
Brendan Fraser -Rick O'Connell the brave american Rachel Weisz Evelyn 'Evie' O'Connell/Nefertiri his beautiful wife John Hannah Jonathan Carnahan the joker Arnold Vosloo Imhotep the mummy Oded Fehr Ardeth Bey Patricia Velazquez Anck-su-namun the mummies eternal lover Freddie Boath Alex O'Connell the young lad Alun Armstrong Curator (No not the Ipswich Town Striker!!) Dwayne Johnson The Scorpion King (Yes The Rock from WWF!!)
Brendan Fraser is fantastic as Rick, and comes out with some really entertaining one liners. The film moves at a very fast tempo with something new unfolding all the time. I found that I was laughing quite a lot, just from Rick’s attitude and the way the conducts himself even when faced with certain doom. The film has plenty of action for each of the characters with some real personal grudge matches going on.
The special effects are what make this film and although in places the effects could have been better, they really are an amazing sight. If you don’t like scorpions you may find yourself closing your eyes quite a bit, as there are millions of them!
thanks for reading

I knda didn't mind the first one, i didn't really fancy seeing this one but i might have to take a gander of it when i get the chance, good op
Advantages: brilliant acting, great special effects, tonnes of special features, cheap Disadvantages: feels as if special effects are prioty over acting, storyline wasn't as good
