Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 4.0
A high point of adventure in a dismal summer movie season
Granted that this sequel lags behind the first installment of the series, it is by far superior to anything that followed this summer. In a season of mega CGI "blockbusters", here was one with likable and interesting stars and a pace and level of excitement that was breathtaking. Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz come close to being the new "Indiana and Marion", indeed it would have been a fantastic casting coup to cast him as Indiana Jones III in the final Harrison Ford flix supposed to be in planning. Imagine Ford, Connery and Fraser as the Jones Boys! The two Mummys make a nice matched set and a good way to spend a rainy afternoon or a late nite with friends.
