Now Everyone Calm Down
I don't understand this new wave of teenage "film experts", who think that because they know computers, watch a lot of movies, or even take film classes in college that they are so above everything. The Mummy Returns was a GREAT movie. Why, you ask? It was Entertaining. One reviewer said it best... that this is possibly the most fun and entertaining movie since Indiana Jones last cracked his whip. Indiana Jonesis my favorite Triology of all time and I was ecstatic when I saw the first 20 minutes of The Mummy because it revisited my favorite things about movies. The Mummy Returns gave me something to look forward to and enjoy. It's pure entertainment... if you want Oscar material, rent Cast Away, American Beauty, or Life Is Beautiful. But remember when cinema first started? It wasn't real at all! And the acting was terrible compared to today's standards. But it was FUN. That's the point.
