The Thrills Return
"The Mummy Returns" is a great film to watch, especially on DVD because of its great script, wonderful plot, great actors and a great director. "The Mummy" was an instant cinema classic because of its orginality even though it was a remake of "The Mummy" made back in the 60s. Brendan Fraser leads a great cast yet again in this wonderfully scripted sequel. Stephen Sommers puts this sequel together beautifully with returning Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) and Anuk-sun-amun (Patricia Velasquez). Of course, Fraser returns at Rick O'Connell. After nine years, Rick is now married to Evelyn (Rachel Weisz)and they have a 8-year-old son (Freddie Boath) who gets into a lot of trouble. Then, you have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as The Scorpion King. That was a great move because they are making a "Scorpion King" movie which blasts into theaters next summer. Finally, you have Evelyn's brother, Jonathan (John Hannah) and the warrioir Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr). With this cast and director, there are no limits. "The Mummy Returns" is a great movie and an excellent sequel. The box office proves it. This is a 200 million dollar blockbuster so you definently know that the thrills return.
