cB391 The second in a trilogy, though I am unsure if a third was intended at the completion of this film. I just completed the trilogy and will sadly see the new film as well.The cinematography isn't bad. The story is worse than the first one. The characters are about the same. The lone exception is the child, which meant that the film would be horrible. It is bad enough that the "good" characters have superhuman abilities to avoid any danger, they can also come back from the dead.I am unsure if this was used in the first or second film, but the phrase, "Mortal weapons cannot hurt him/kill him." He does seem to be able to get hurt with a few punches though. If a bullet doesn't hurt, why would a punch/rock/anything else?In conclusion, this is a stupid film. It is good if you want to sleep, as I did towards the end (the first time). If you like it, you will probably be happy in life, as you like films that treat you like a child.It made a lot of money, which isn't shocking. Hopefully the people that paid for it had a horrible fate befall them. If you think that is harsh, good for you. The film is painfully bad, though not as bad as the third.
Fluke_Skywalker Plot; The O'Connell's race against the minions of Imhotep in an effort to stop them from reaching and defeating the legendary Scorpion King and taking control of the armies of Anubis.At its best, The Mummy Returns equals and/or surpasses the first entry; itself a rootin'-tootin' and refreshingly unapologetic goodtime popcorn movie. Unfortunately Returns isn't always at its best. Setting the bulk of the first act in London gives it some aesthetic diversity, and I actually found the two action scenes there (One in the O'Connell's house, the other on a double-decker bus) to be my favorites in the movie. I also preferred Alan Silverstri's rip-roarin' action score to Jerry Goldsmith's from the original. But unfortunately the titular Mummy doesn't loom as large here, and with the Scorpion King not showing up until the last few minutes, Imhotep's minions aren't nearly enough to make up for it.Despite inserting a spunky kid (Will Hollywood never learn?), a clunky middle act and some absolutely cringeworthy CGI in the finale, The Mummy Returns unwraps enough fun to satisfy.
adonis98-743-186503 The mummified body of Imhotep is shipped to a museum in London, where he once again wakes and begins his campaign of rage and terror. The Mummy Returns is a very entertaining film and it has some pretty cool action and the story isn't that bad it's a little bit more into comedy than the original film was but i think it worked very well done Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz were great and i liked the fact that they tried to make a story with her and Meela i liked the train scene with Imhotep where he started regaining his powers and the scenes with Lock-Nah and Alex were pretty hilarious. My only complain for me was The Scorpion King himself Dwayne Johnson was good for that small amount of screen time but when he appeared on screen the CGI was god awful it was as bad as the cgi they used for The Star Wars Prequels and Imhotep's screen time isn't as great as it should have been but other than that this was still one cool film but if i had to choose between this and the first film i choose the first one.
Filipe Neto In this movie the mummy will return to wake up, this time in London in the thirties. Rick and Evelyn will have to run against the clock in order to save the world again, and most importantly, to save their son, Alex. This is the sequel of "The Mummy", movie of 1999, and has the direction and script by Stephen Sommers and the participation of Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and Arnold Vosloo, added by Patricia Velasquez, Freddie Boath, Dwayne Johnson and Oded Fehr.It's always difficult for a sequel surprising the audience that saw the first film. This film suffers from this difficulty and therefore couldn't surprise the same way as the first one. The script could also have been more interesting: the "Scorpion King" story is hardly convincing and sounds like a sort of publicity for the movie with that name which came out the year after. Dwayne Johnson, in turn, played his role perfectly well: this "pseudo-actor" is good for any role where he has to punch four times more than talk. The rest of the cast is perfectly fine, particularly Freddie Boath, who was brilliant in his role, and Arnold Vosloo, who gave his character a psychological depth that he hadn't had the opportunity to show in the first film. The soundtrack continued to be good without being exceptional, the special effects and make-up continued to make their role positively but without surprises. The computerization and digital resources surprised me most at the end of the film, which is very well done.This film comes on the trail of a great movie for the family and for almost all ages. I believe that, despite not having been exactly a surprise to the public, this shouldn't be a big sin. It remains a film made with great care and in an intelligent and humorous way. It's a movie for everyone.
