Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 3.0
3.5 stars
When I first saw The Mummy Returns in 2001 (shortly after I had watched The Mummy on tape) I thought it was the coolest movie ever and I would re-create the battle scenes in my living room and I wanted to see it fifty times....yeah, I was small. I saw it again a bit later, and yeah, I know, it was a bit cheesy, but I still thought to myself, "haha....it's pretty good..." THEN barely two months ago it was on TNT and I watched it....OH GRACIOUS ME!!! THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE HORRIFIC! I could not believe my eyes. The Imhotop skeleton-form mummy looks fine, but everything else is AWFUL! I was thinking WHAT ON EARTH! This movie's budget was even bigger than any of the LOTR movies and yet the effects are 20 times worse. I don't understand. And it came out in the same year as The Fellowship of the Ring. WHYYYY did they have such crud effects???? Sigh. This has been my review.
