The Mummy Returns (DVD)

The most powerful force on earth is about to be unleashed by the two people who should know better. - Introduction - For those that haven't seen the original film, please go back to my profile and read that first! The Mummy released back in 1999 was a great film. I know most people, and me occasionally being one of them think a lot of sequels to movies are rubbish, especially compared to their originals. But this is where The Mummy Returns, released ...
...I watched this the night after The Mummy in time to see the new release The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor on the big screen! - Plot - Like the first Mummy, there's a scene at the beginning of the film that's set 5000 years prior to the story you're actually going to be watching - this just informs you a little about a villain you'll see later on in the movie called The Scorpion King (in which there was a spin off movie called The Scorpion King ...

Review of The Mummy Returns (DVD)

The Mummy Returns, written and directed by Stephen (Van Helsing) Sommers, is a big budget special effects-driven action extravaganza. However, it's not a particularly good one, especially when you compare it to films such as Spider-man or X-men. It went on to spawn an even worse third film, The Scorpion King, which was a spin off from a minor character in this film. The story picks up in 1933 after the events of the first film, and the evil mummy ...
...is awoken in the British Museum by some people who want to use him to defeat the army of Anubis, which is being led by the great warrior, the Scorpion King (played by The Rock).

Review of The Mummy Returns (DVD)

...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)

All of the main characters are back in The Mummy Returns. There are lots of things that are similar to the first movie, and I liked that. There are lots of special effects again - though one toward the end of the movie wasn't as good as it could have been. Some may think this movie is over the top and stupid. Maybe it is. But I loved it. It is entertaining to watch. It is not trying to be serious or solve any of the world's problems. It a movie to ...
...like the first one did, with a prologue set in the past. This one told about the Scorpion King and how he made a deal with the god Annubis. He gave his soul to Annubis to be able to fight another battle and win. Annubis let the Scorpion King lead his army in the battle. Once they won, Annubis took his sole. The movie then jumps forward to around 1930 - I can't remember the exact date now - and Rick and Evie are exploring some ruins in Egypt with ...
