Profile of The Mummy Returns

The mood of The Mummy Returns is scary, exciting, and suspenseful. The plot centers around mummies, reincarnation, and deadly creatures. It is a horror, adventure, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, The Mummy Returns has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The pacing is fast. The Mummy Returns is set in Egypt and London. It happens in the 1930s. The movie is known for being a blockbuster and an award winner. The Mummy Returns is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes profanity and violent content.

Summary of The Mummy Returns

Flanked by fabulous computer-generated battle scenes that would make BRAVEHEART proud, THE MUMMY RETURNS is a fast-paced sequel that surpasses the hit 1999 original, both directed by Stephen Sommers. Virtually the entire cast has come back for another exciting go-round, this time trying to prevent Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) from gaining control of the Bracelet of Anubis and taking on the Scorpion King (the Rock) for control of the world. But to gain that power, Imhotep and his vicious true love, Anck-Su-Namun (Patricia Velasquez), must get to the Oasis of Ahm Shere before Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), his wife, Evie (Rachel Weisz), their son, Alex (Freddie Boath), the mysterious Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), and Evie's brother, Jonathan (John Hannah, who provides much of the comic relief). Set in 1933, THE MUMMY RETURNS combines elements of the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES films in letting loose a scintillating thrill-ride of a movie, chock-full of terrific special effects and marvelous locations (Morocco, Jordan, and London), erupting in a spirited tale of flight and fantasy, sword and sorcery. The addition of Freddie Boath to the cast increases the suspense as well as the comedy; his scenes with the evil Lock-Nah (fiercely played by OZ veteran Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) are among the best in the film. THE MUMMY RETURNS also features professional wrestler the Rock as the Scorpion King, who was defeated in 3067 BC and is ready to be resurrected in the Year of the Scorpion.

There's much mumbo-jumbo about past lives and symbolic tattoos, but who cares when you can gaze at a sight as lovely as a dirigible floating in the night sky? Full Review

Variety

Virtually bursts with visual goodies, and writer-director Stephen Sommers scarcely allows the actors, or the audience, a moment to take a breath during the nonstop action of the final hour. Full Review

This is the movie that made me fall in love with Rachel Weis! She was nice in the first one but she's on fire in the sequal. She's simply gorgeous, and that british accent is enough to make any man melt Read and rate it
