Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 3.0
IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST MOVIE, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS SEQUEL.
"The Mummy Returns" has a lot of things in common with the first one: fast pace, a lot of incredible special effects, beautiful women, humor, a hero that is a combination of Indiana Jones and George of the Jungle, lots of sand, and that results in another amusing movie."The Mummy Returns" presents some new tricks: for example, Stephen Sommers the director / screenwriter of the movie expanded the roles of Meela (Patricia Velazquez) and Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), they added a new character, Alex who is the son of the heroes of "The Mummy Returns". By the way, usually a child actor is annoying and his acting skills are poor at best, but Freddie Both (Alex) does a good job in "The Mummy Returns".But I got to say it, I hate that Scorpion King character, not only The Rock has the same acting level of a real rock, but his CGI alter ego is one of the worst CGI special effects in recent years, I hate when a movie turns into a videogame clip, and the Scorpion King "creature" has the same texture of a videogame character, I mean they should give a control pad with this DVD to control the Scorpion King.Now, that's the only detail that I didn't like in "The Mummy Returns", because it's a worthy sequel, it has good special effects (with the exception of you-know-who), it has beautiful gals, the hero is charismatic, the pace is fast, the movie has humor, and it's more creative than most of the summer season sequels. So if you liked "The Mummy", "The Mummy Returns" is a good choice.
