Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 4.0
By today's standards, this film is a flop!
Yes, by today's standards this movie is a flop! What could the makers of this movie be thinking? No sex, foul language, blood splatter! Just old fashioned action-filled, swashbuckling, fun. The actors are actually able to speak three words without the "f" word! No "f" word in any one of its variations. No between the sheets scenes. Wow, what a concept! This film is more like the Star Wars genre. Lots of action, special effects and a lot of "tongue-in-cheek" humor. I loved this movie. I actually went to see it 6 times, while it was playing in the theaters. I couldn't wait for the DVD/video release. You can't take this film seriously, it's too out there. But, you can show it to the kids without worrying about nightmares, the language they'll hear or excessive violence and lots of blood splatter. It was great to see a "family" work together to take down the baddies. I happen to love this movie. But you need to relax and enjoy it. There is no social message here or any racial tension. All the "of color" characters actually get along and work together. More movies should be like this one!
