Amazon.co.uk Review

Proving that bigger is rarely better, The Mummy Returns serves up so much action and so many computer-generated effects that it quickly grows exhausting. In his zeal to establish a lucrative franchise, writer-director Stephen Sommers dispenses with such trivial matters as character development and plot logic, and charges headlong into an almost random buffet of minimum story and maximum mayhem, beginning with a prologue establishing the ominous fate of the Scorpion King (played by World Wrestling Federation star the Rock, in a cameo teaser for his later starring role in--you guessed it--The Scorpion King). Dormant for 5,000 years, under control of the Egyptian god Anubis, the Scorpion King will rise again in 1933, which is where we find The Mummy's returning heroes Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, now married and scouring Egyptian ruins with their 8-year-old son, Alex (Freddie Boath).

John Hannah (as Weisz's brother) and Oded Fehr (as mystical warrior Ardeth Bay) also return from The Mummy, and trouble begins when Alex dons the Scorpion King's ancient bracelet, coveted by the evil mummy Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), who's been revived by... oh, but does any of this matter? With a plot so disposable that it's impossible to care about anything that happens, The Mummy Returns is best enjoyed as an intermittently amusing and physically impressive monument of Hollywood machinery, with gorgeous sets that scream for a better showcase, and digital trickery that tops its predecessor in ambition, if not in payoff. By the time our heroes encounter a hoard of ravenous pygmy mummies, you'll probably enjoy this movie in spite of itself. --Jeff Shannon



Synopsis

The mummified corpse of Imhotep is taken to the British Museum in London. Whilst there he awakens to continue his quest for immortality. But another dark force has been unleashed on the world and when these two evil spirits meet the fate of the world is a risk...

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the first, 3 Sep 2008
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 Loved it., 17 Dec 2008
By Mr. A. M. HOGG "MORS VINCIT OMNIA" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Mummy. More of the same. I remember when Star Wars first came out, and many whinged at Empire Strikes Back saying that it couldn't stack up against the originality etc etc of Star Wars. Years later a lot admit they got it wrong and Empire is the best.

I'm not quite saying any of the sequels beat the first one, but they're all fun; even if the third jars a bit the first time round...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original, 15 Jan 2005
By Rp Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having seen The Mummy and enjoyed it, I was excited to see how a sequel would fair. The first was action packed and very entertaining. It was quite different from any other film I'd seen, and the storyline was well thought up. Unfortunately, the second, in my opinion, was less so. The novelty of the original had worn off, and I was disappointed to see that nothing much had been changed. You still have the action mixed in with a little mild horror, but the storyline was less interesting. Having seen the first film, you could predict the outcome of events in the second quite easily, therefore any element of suspense was lacking.
However, I must admit that the film kept me occupied for its duration. It's easy to follow, and doesn't ask you to keep constant track of things from one minute to the next. Some cheesy lines or phrases are unavoidable in films like this one. Personally, I believe these add to the character and nature of the film.
In brief, if you are expecting something new and original to succeed the first film, forget it and this might not be for you.
If you're looking for 'more of the same' and just want a film that's easy to follow and doesn't make your brain hurt from complicated plots and storylines, this will be right up your street. For the price Amazon has set the dvd, you can't really go wrong anyway.
