The Mummy Returns (DVD)

Many generations ago the high priest, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), loved the most forbidden woman in Egypt, the Pharaoh's mistress. For love of Anck Su Namun (Patricia Velasquez), he betrayed his position, his people, his country... and slaughtered his king. He brought havoc to the city to rescue her remains that he might perform the rite of resurrection, but the royal guard captured him before the ritual was complete. For the memory of her gilded touch Imhotep was punished with the worst of all ancient curses, the Hom-Dai.

The Mummy Returns is the brilliant sequel to the original Mummy film. I really couldn't wait for the release of this film after having enjoyed the original so much. I really did find this film to be absolutely brilliant yet again and possibly even better than the original! I loved how they kept the same theme and once again had an excellent set. The film was just as exciting as it was before with some truly brilliant action scenes that will keep you well entertained throughout! I thought that the film was generally very good and I really would recommend it, especially if you are a fan of the original. The film is this time about Rick O Connel who has now ...  Read the complete review

I saw this some time ago, but as I had recently seen the third and first of the films, decided it was best to review them in order! Firstly a piece of advice, although I will try my absolute best not to plonk in any big spoilers here (with regard to the first film - this will be hard) I think it is best not to see this review until you've watched the first film.

Story **First - if you've not seen the first film, read this bit** Evelyn ...  Read the complete review

The Mummy Returns is a sequel. There's a curse involved with sequels, you know. There's also a curse involved with Mummies. Doubly damned? Not in this case... It's a rip-roaring adventure in the mould of Indiana Jones and... well, mostly Indiana Jones. Add a bunch of computer generated baddies, those pesky beetles, and an INCREDIBLY fake scorpion king hybrid at the end, and it reeks of derivative slop. You've seen it before, and it shouldn't work. But it does. The plot follows the original: The two leads have married, and had a stereotypical blonde and slightly annoying son. They find an artefact which will (surprise!) unleash an ancient and terrible evil on ...  Read the complete review
