Mummy Returns

Pros: The actors seem to be having plenty of fun amid all the noise and confusion
Cons: There are lots of special effects, but few of them are any good

The Mummy Returns is the first Earplug Movie of the official summer season. You’ve been warned.

Roaring armies of the undead, clanging sword blades, chitter-clicking hordes of scorpions, thundering waves of water—it’s enough to make...

Pros: fast paced, good special effects, interesting plot
Cons: If it had been rated R, could have had more gore in it

The Mummy Returns kicks off the start of the summer blockbusters. The film is a great start after such a lousy batch of films since the end of last summer.

The Mummy Returns is a total sequel. Although it is unnecessary to see...

Pros: Sounds, Images, Sequel Plot, Acting
Cons: None, and this time I mean it ... absolutely nothing wrong with the movie!

Sequels to movies usually do well at the box office the first week, but eventually die off pretty quickly. This most likely is a result of bad reviews of critics and what you hear from your friends. "Oh my god dude, that movie bites, I can't believe I...

Pros: Lots of action, lots of special effects
Cons: Effects can't save pathetic script, poor direction

The Mummy Returns is a well-crafted movie in the sense that it is guaranteed to make money. The studio has made a sequel of a successful movie, brought back all the major characters (including the title character, who will no doubt keep...

Pros: Despite being direct ripoffs from Gremlins, the Pygmy Mummies are pretty cool.
Cons: Any scene or sequence that isn't initiated or punctuated with an explosion.

More! Get some more mummies in there! A hot-air balloon? Why not? Figure out a way to get it onscreen. I want Pygmy Mummies, giant dog-faced zombie warriors and a cute little kid! We need a matching villain for every invincible hero, a giant...

Pros: DVD has outtakes! Whoohoo!
Cons: Some ridiculous CGI, dialogue

Because The Mummy was such a success, I guess its creators decided making a second one might not be such a shabby idea. Especially since all the actors were ready to get right back on board. Something that up until the last few years, actors had ...

Pros: An action packed return of a timeless villain. Great fun.
Cons: Several factual mistakes.

The Mummy Returns (2001) Directed and Written by Stephan Sommers The year is 1933. The place is Egypt. The O’Connells, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn, (Rachel Weisz) are a pair of successful archaeologists, combining Evey’s ...

Pros: Brendan Fraser
Cons: Too many poor computer graphics, but some good.

I can't really say that I am a fan of these type movies. I never saw an Indiana Jones movie that I enjoyed and I wasn't particularly looking forward to seeing a movie set in Egypt, featuring LOTS of scorpions and poor graphics. I can't really compare it...

Pros: Acting and story
Cons: Effects and reincarnations story

I don't think anyone was surprised more then me when I enjoyed The Mummy in 1999. That's why I was so excited to go see The Mummy Returns in 2001. I came out of the theater highly disappointed. But a recent second viewing has made me ...

Pros: Fun, entertaining sequel. Likable returning characters.
Cons: Some inconsistencies. Some effects didn’t look good.

After I finally watched 1999 version of Th e Mummy, I really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to seeing The Mummy Returns once I found out that it was being made. I have seen the movie several times and ...

Pros: The cast is good
Cons: Everything else is not so good

"The Mummy Returns" is a movie that typifies today's Hollywood: one hit movie deserves a sequel. In the case of "The Mummy Returns," Hollywood gets more excited when the core group returns for said sequel. Actors Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John...

Pros: fans of the first one will enjoy it.
Cons: it's too over the top.

The Mummy Returns has a bad case of sequelitis. You know, take everything about the first one and then make it bigger, louder, faster. Then mix well until it's a fine soup that is easily digested by the movie going public.

It's 10 years...

Pros: Action packed, great casting, funny, a little bit of something for everyone.
Cons: I personally didn't see any.

Lately I have made a vow to myself that I am going to start going to the movies more often. Since the last film I have seen on the big screen (non drive-in related) was Scream 3, I was more than past due for one. I really enjoyed the first movie so it...

Pros: Lots and lots of action
Cons: Same old sillyness

The Mummy Returns is the first big movie to officially kick off a summer full of big-budget no-brainers with lots of fighting and explosions. It brings back most of the original leading cast (who survived the first movie) as well as a few additions. In...

Pros: More expensive than the original. Lotsa beefy bodies during first battle ( drool ).
Cons: Recycled bag of tricks.

Movie sequels are a lot like video games. Having experienced the first, you’d expect the sequel to be either a huge improvement or disappointing failure; the latter being more of a case from the majority of poorly made follow-ups. To my surprise, this...
