I actually watch The Mummy and The Mummy Returns every year on Halloween when I'm giving out candy to kids. They're fun movies to watch especially on Halloween.

And about 2001 CGI what about Lord of the RIngs?

For some reason Spike TV cut the They don't use doors scene. It goes from the warriors screaming in close up to the car run around the building scene. They also cut the I hate mummies line. Why would they cut the funniest parts? I didn't enjoy the movie, but if they cut multiple funny lines then that is not a fair way to judge it, so I might like the original version better.

Underrated sequel and quite a decent one, the first one was better but this was a lot of fun.

I disagree. The first one is better in my opinion but that's not to say this is a bad sequel though. Cons 1. The kid was annoying 2. The CGI was worse. I know there was bad CGI in the first one which is dated but I can forgive it for that since it was 1999 CGI was still kind of new. Here though? It has been 2 years since the first movie the CGI should have gotten better but it didn't I got worse in my opinion 3. I don't buy guy with the aircraft saving them at the end because they crash in the jungle, there is no way he could have fixed that huge aircraft there is no repair shop or anything and I don't think he would have the tools with him to fix it either. 4. The rock was under used. It is why have him at the start then never see him again until the last 5 or 7 minutes of the movie? It is kinda false advertising since he is on the poster but hardly in the movie that itself 5. I don't think the score for the film was better than the score in the first one Pros? 1.Great action scene/fight scenes 2.Locations were nice 3.The bus scene in London where the mummies are going after them was well done. One of my favorite scenes of the movie 4.The jungle scenes with the little mummy monsters going after them were intense and thrilling to watch 4.Great acting from all the cast once again Overall a decent sequel B+ For me

I cant believe back in the day I thought CGI on the Rock was realistic and amazing....oh god what was I drinking...but still its a fun movie, that's what I like about Stephen Sommers, his films don't have to be serious, just have fun. Deep Rising & Mummy could have just been scary jump scare movies but he mixes it with a fun rollercoaster ride.

Well back then? It was pretty impressive for the time. Case in point. Compare the Rock CGI affects to the CGI animality effects from MK: Annihilation. The CGI Rock looks Oscar Worthy in comparison.

OcpCommunications is it just me or is the score of this movie by Alan Silvestri a great blend of the fun of his score for Back To The Future and the creepiness of his score for Predator?

Great review Mike. I don't like it as much as the first, but I do enjoy this film. It's at least just as fun and I agree that the supporting characters definitely got a lot more to do in this one. The bad CGI on The Rock is easily the worst part, but it doesn't ruin the movie IMO.

I really liked the mummy returns. It was overall a great movie. I agree with everything you said about it. It just the scorpion king fight took me out of it a bit because of how bad the cgi scorpion king looked. But l like the movie. Almost everything about. The action scenes. The characters. The witty banter like the part where those three guys get locked in the train car with imhotep and the guy says "this place is cursed" and the other guy says "what is it with you and curses?" and the tall guy says "yeah nothing like a good curse, this is cursed, that is cursed" That was funny. As for the part you mentioned about Anck-su-namun not helping imhotep at the end. She did that because she realized Imhotep no longer had his power and failed to kill the scorpion king and wasn't in command of the army of anubis so she had no use for him at that point so she abandoned him. All she wanted was power and she wasn't welling to risk her life. The Mummy Returns is a great movie.

The whole thing though with Anck-Su-Namun? Still doesn't make sense to me. That was the ploy of the woman whose spirit previously inherited her body. Than the actual spirit of Anck-Su-Namun was brought back from the underworld and placed in her body. She was Imhotep's lover, confidant, companion. She killed herself when she found out he was being taken away. I don't buy her leaving him to die. The other lady? Sure. But her spirit was taken over so she should not have had that much power over her body anymore if any at all.

I feel their might have been a subplot that was deleted between the rival between lock-nah ( adewale akinnuoye) and ardeth bay ( oded fehr) and also I feel their might have been a back story of the dark past of the reincarnation of anck su namun

Haven't seen this flick in a long time. When I saw it long ago, I remember it being so-so, and kind of mediocre at best. I also remember enjoying the first film much more than this one. Perhaps it is a flick I need to rewatch sometime down the road. Another solid review, Mike.

I saw this in theatres on Memorial Day Weekend mostly because I love the 1999 version and I thought it was a decent, but enjoyable sequel! So, I liked it! It has its issues, the CGI on The Scorpion King at the end was pretty bad, looks like something out of a Playstation game! But some of the CGI wasn't that bad and it was great to see some of the original cast again! Also, this was the beginning of The Rock's movie career and his spin-off, stand-alone was coming out later on. I still owned that collectible cup from General Cinema back when that theatre was in my area before AMC took over the following year.
