The Mummy or the Dummy?
Okey dokey, *cough* The Mummy Returns DVD! One of the most anticipated DVD's of the year. I bought it (but can tell that they're going to make an ultimate edition DVD DAMN IT!) and was quite impressed by the features. Outtakes (Hilarious), 3 behind the scenes featurettes (although I can't find 'A special message from Oded Fehr'. Why do they have to hide it?????) Behind the scenes documentary (quite good) and of course what made the movie 'The special effects' 15 minute look in on how they did it. You know like 'Behind the magic' and the guy with the mask on or else he'll be hunted down by the magicians for revealing their secrets. But the damn special effects documentary is so annoying as it dosn't play it all at once you have to like choose 3 icons before seeing about 2 minutes of footage then you have to move onto the next icon and see more. *Breathes in and out* I'm calm now. And what I bought the DVD for...The Rock. I'm a huge WWF Mark (Fan) and this made me get the DVD (also 'The Mummy' Ultimate edition contributed as well). They have a nice and tidy interview with the Rock and show you snippets of 'The Scorpion King', Sooooo worth it!The Movie itself ain't so crash hot, it is a very cliche storyline of resurrecting the mummy and taking over the world (Although Stephen Sommers does make a joke about it...Good for him) but who can escape the charms of the lovable characters and the humour that they all contribute to the movie. I must say a great DVD. But can tell, they're going to do what they did before (as I mentioned above) and release an Ultimate edition. I will buy it when it comes out and sell this one as the ultimate edition will have so many more features and way more audio commentary, hopefully the Rock will do one. Well, there is my overview and thoughts (however annoying they may be). Now I will play the waiting game and reserve my ticket for the spinoff movie 'The Scorpion King'!
