Great Fun
The Mummy Returns was a good clean fun movie for just about everyone. While it didn't have the same tentializing plot that the original (which I just adored), it is worth watching on it's own marits. Branden Fraser returns as the very heroic Rick, who has grown up some and but still every bit the man he was when we last saw him. Evee is still in search of knowledge but this movie twists her character a bit and it was a little harder to swallow. But it was still good to see her kicking butt. Oded Feir finally gets some plot and good lines in there that totally rocks. His mysterious character is just so good to watch in action. John Hannah is as funny as ever as the wonderful Jonathan, who has a heart of gold when it comes to his family....and money. Arnold Vosloo and Patricia Velasques rocked as the villians. The Rock was hardly there, which was fine but the ending with his face computer generated on was just pathetic. Word of advise to the studio, next time, take a little more time to clean things up before the release, even if you have to push back the date. Good movie all around.
