SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

tstudstrup Worst CGI ever: check Wooden acting; check Zero chemistry between Fraser and Weisz: check Zero chemistry between the annoying kid and his "parents" check Most annoying kid ever, that I wanted to see dead from the first moment he showed up: check Actors having no fun this time around. Thery're just there to get paid: check Oded Fehr: worst actor ever, with the most ridiculous white teeth I've ever seen: check Even worse than Indiana Jones 4: checkOnly good thing is the stunning, sometimes half naked Rachel Weisz fighting and kicking ass. How Stephen Summers could muck this up after making an awesome original The Mummy and accept what was horrible CGI even 16 years ago, is beyond me. They must have had a much bigger budget and yet this comes of as so much cheaper looking than the original movie. Every action sequence falls flat and is ruined by horrible CGI. Just don't ever watch this. Stephen Summers and his CGI effects team should be taken outside and shot for making this turd of a movie.

swilliky A new legend arises along with an old in this action sequel. Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr) narrates another prologue, this time about the Scorpion King (Dwayne Johnson) and his ancient curse. Centuries later Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) explore the Scorpion King's resting place with their son Alex (Freddie Boath) uncovering a bracelet and escaping an attack from marauders. Another expedition unearths Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) from Hamunaptra led by a reincarnation of Anck-Su-Namun, Meela (Patricia Velasquez), her murderous henchman Lock-Nah (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Mr. Hafez (Alun Armstrong). They need the bracelet that the O"Connell's took from the tomb.Evelyn's brother Jonathan (John Hannah) was using the O'Connell's house when the villains attack them. Ardeth arrives to help them fight but Lock-Nah captures Evelyn. Mr. Hafez is the curator of the British Museum where they take Evelyn to resurrect Imhotep. Rick breaks up the ceremony with Ardeth and they escape with Evelyn. A chase ensues through the streets of London on a double-decker bus. The villains capture Alex and bring him to Cairo as Imhotep regenerates at the expense of the marauders. Rick seeks out the hot air balloon pilot Izzy (Shaun Parkes) who has a rough history with O'Connell of getting shot.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Maddyclassicfilms The Mummy Returns is directed by Stephen Sommers and has music by Alan Silvestri. The film stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, John Hannah, Oded Fehr, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Alun Armstrong, Patricia Velasquez, Freddie Boath and The Rock.Set several years after the first film, this sequel finds Rick(Brendan Fraser)and Evelyn(Rachel Weisz)now married. The couple have a young son called Alex(Freddie Boath). The trio are in Egypt looking for artefacts, they come across an ancient bracelet which once belonged to The Scorpion King(The Rock). The Scorpion King sold his soul to the Anubis, in return he had command over an evil army and was seemingly invincible. Unbeknown to the O'Connell's, followers of Imhotep have once again raised him from the dead, his former lover Anck Su Namun(Patricia Velasquez)has been reincarnated and the pair want the bracelet of Anubis to command the armies so they can dominate the world. Alex tries on the bracelet and discovers he can't take it off, Imhotep and his followers kidnap the boy. Rick, Evelyn, Jonathan (John Hannah)and Ardeth Bay(Oded Fehr) try and get him back and foil this evil plan.Evelyn keeps having strange visions which we soon discover are past memories, she is revealed to have been the daughter of the Pharaoh murdered by Imhotep.This film has much more action than the first one, it's a non stop thrill ride and has a cracking score. The special effects are once again not all that great, especially those for the mummy and Scorpion King. I didn't like Evelyn turning out to have been an ancient princess or what is revealed about Rick, I think that takes something away from the film. In the first film and for the first part of this sequel, Rick and Evelyn are just normal people who come up against out of the ordinary things, they find the strength and courage to fight those things. Making them connected to the past takes away their normality, learning that these things were meant to be just seems unnecessary to me.The cast once again deliver good performances, Oded Fehr is hysterical as the badass Ardeth Bay. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is chilling as Lock-Nah one of Imhotep's supporters, he's great at playing villains and is very intense here.Worth a watch, but it's not as good as the first film.
