Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 1.0
Lousy sequel
This movie could have been tremendous. Notice I said, "could have?" I really thought it was a pathetic attempt. Despite a surprisingly decent acting performance from The Rock, this movie failed to live up to my expectations.When ranting on this movie, the first thing I look at is the graphics. In parts of the movie, it is phenominal (ex: the armies of Anubias), other parts left much to be desired. The end scene with the Scorpian King was a disgrace, if that is the best that can be done, then it simply shouldn't be done.I also have problems with the plotline of the movie and logic. Where did this warrior of the light or whatever come from? You cannot throw things like this in and expect people to get into it. If it had been done right, then it would have been hinted at in the first movie. Foreshadowing is everything when you are writing, whether it is a movie or a book.The good points of the movie are as follows: The storyline (that could have been better, but its still not bad), the actors did a pretty decent job (once you forget the standard movie cliches where every kid has been trained under the Home Alone Movie Franchise).I wasn't impressed too much with the first movie, but I thought it was well done, if a bit silly. This one is just all silly, and I would definitely rent it before spending your money to buy it. (...)
