Amazon.co.uk Review

"We don't have time for subtle," says Brendan Fraser, the star of The Mummy Returns, neatly encapsulating the relentless pace and hammerheaded tone of the film. As is the way of sequels here we have more, more, more of the same formula: more explosions, more action and more mind-numbingly endless CGI effects. Once again borrowing shamelessly from the Indiana Jones series, The Mummy Returns, like its predecessor, has boundless energy but lacks the stylish verve and charm of Spielberg's trilogy. All the original cast are reunited, this time joined by WWF star the Rock in a cameo role designed to plug his spin-off vehicle, The Scorpion King, and young actor Freddie Boath who plays an English eight-year-old in the 1930s whose dialogue borrows from Bart Simpson ("Get a room" and "My dad's gonna kick your arse" are two of his choice phrases). Other cinematic thefts include a Jurassic Park-style creatures-in-the-long-grass sequence and a lengthy triple-threat finale along the lines of Return of the Jedi. Still, despite the wearying relentlessness of its computer-generated effects, endless chases and fights, this is undeniably fun popcorn fodder and provides some memorable scenes along the way, notably Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez battling it out for the affections of nasty old Imhotep.

On the DVD: This two-disc "Special Edition" is a treat for fans of the franchise. The first disc has an anamorphic widescreen print of the movie in its 2.35:1 CinemaScope ratio, and a choice of Dolby 5.1 or DTS for the headache-inducing soundtrack. There's a decent commentary from the director and producer, plus a couple of DVD-ROM features. Disc 2 has all the usual stuff, including a 20-minute "making-of" documentary, a five-minute interview with the Rock about The Scorpion King, plus an exclusive trailer for it that is unsurprisingly reminiscent of Conan the Barbarian. There are also some detailed special effects breakdowns of key sequences, a blooper reel of outtakes and a virtual tour of the Universal theme park attraction "The Mummy Returns Chamber of Doom". Sundry trailers, production notes, a music video and an "Egyptology 201" text feature round out a well-loaded second disc. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the first, 3 Sep 2008
This review is from: The Mummy Returns [DVD] (DVD)
The Mummy Returns doesn't disappoint as the sequel to the brilliant 'The Mummy', with special effects and a great script making this an absolutely brilliant film. You don't need to have seen the first film to know what's going on, but i would definately help if you want to understand the full picture. This is an absolute must see for any 'Mummy' fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant boxset at a brilliant price!, 4 July 2005
This review is from: The Mummy / The Mummy Returns / The Scorpion King [DVD] (DVD)
Well done Amazon for offering this fantastic boxset at an awesome price! It really is a bargain. I personally haven't got round to watching the Scorpian King yet, but that's only because I love The Mummy and The Mummy Returns so much! The films beautifully encapsulate the humour of the era in which they are set, in particular John Hannah's fantastic portrayal of Johnathan, a hapless public school archaeologist. Rachel Weisz is, as ever, a pleasure to watch, playing feisty Evie. The action scenes skillfully move from comic to downright scary! All round superb acting, great storylines and great fun.
