Great feel good movie, ......great escapism fun.

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2012)

I saw Returns before the first film and at the time of watching Returns at the cinema didn't even realise there was a first one.
I have a soft spotfor this film. It has something to do with the atmosphere, music and cinematography of the first 50mins of the film. That is what i remember mostly of this film, it grabs you and doesn't let go. You will love the mansion scene and the bus ride if you are anything like me, and the music that goes with it. This movie is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me, guilty because i personally don't know anyone who prefers the second one to the first so sometimes im ashamed to say there is a lot to like about Returns.
The last third of the film i tend to only vaguely remember to be frank, but i wont downgrade the film for that reason alone, but truthfully i could take or leave some parts of the backend of the film, although i like ancient Egypt so enjoyed those type scenes. There is nothing drastically wrong with the last third, to make me feel i want to downgrade the film, its just the start of the movie stands out for me.
Sounds silly, but whenever i feel down for whatever reason i reach for the DVD and watch the first part of the film with nostalgia and it lifts my spirits.
