Sucked!

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** The first mummy movie from '99 was on tv the other day and I watched part of it. I thought the story was great, and they showed mummies realistically without being too fake (especially the scene where they first open up the coffin) and even though I was a lil unsure on the beginning story, I read the original script for that opening sequence on the net and it explained it much better for me (because the movie version leaves out a lot of it, such as them stealing that egyptians chicks body which was already mummified, and her heart beating for the two seconds she comes to life.
nehow, tonite I decided I would treat myself to some loser fun (ie getting me a movie) so I got both the mummy and the mummy returns. I thoroughly enjoyed the mummy as I said before because u could believe it could happen (although very farfetched, still sort of believable, such as throwing in the ten plagues, that was a stroke of genius).
I was very disappointed with the mummy returns for a billion reasons. okay, a) that egyptian girlfriend chick was nowhere near as hot as she was in the first one! (kidding, she actually wasnt, but that wouldnt ruin me a movie). a(for real)) where the hell did she come from?? I mean, there she is, overseeing a digging site, and I'm like what?? ummm, wasnt she killed in the last one? How did she come to life?? also, someone else mentioned that this movie was a parody of the first, I couldnt agree more. It started off promising enough, with the archaeology and even her flashback, which was tres cool (I love the ancient egypt flashbacks in both movies). However, having Evelyn (the gf/wife) remembering from her past life?? I mean, corny beyond belief! the son was pretty cool, smart lil kid. I liked Evelyns brother. He was great in both movies. *SORT OF SPOILER WARNING* that scene where Egyptian girl stabs and kills Evelyn, that sucked. I mean, I seriously did not see the point in that, it took the plot nowhere. *End of spoiler* Having the rock as scorpion king was cool, but the computer animated stuff sucked!! I did laugh aloud and even rewound the part where his computer image gives the eyebrow thingie. The mummy in this one sucked. He was so serious and stuff, seemed more like a general or sumthin than sum1 that actually fights. In the first one, he was fighting and he was one creepy SOB. I mean, he pulled out a guys eyes and tongue and used them himself. That was great. And he was this cool invincible guy. In this one, he walks around and makes big tidal waves (total ripoff of the first one) and then when the BIG fight comes around, hes mortal again. I mean, at least in the first one, it took a huge struggle to make him mortal, in this one, it just happened. SUcked!! Also, that airship thingie??? gimme a break. The first one was very realistic, ie, it looked like it could take place in Egypt in 1926. This one looked like it took place in sum parallel universe like earth, but not it at all. Do NOT see this movie unless sum1 else got it and u really have nuthin better to do, complete waste of time. Oh yeah, I have to agree with sum other posts from here that Evelyn is one of the hottest women I have ever seen. nehow, thats my rant. enjoy!
