Product Description
Universal The Mummy Returns - HD-DVD
An ancient legacy ofterror is unleashed when the accursed mummy, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), is resurrectedalong with a force even more powerful: The Scorpion King (The Rock). Now, as the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance, Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and his wife Evie (Rachel Weisz) embark on a daring, desperate race to save their sonand the worldfrom unspeakable evil. Supercharged with pulse-pounding action and spectacular special effects that'll blow you away, The Mummy Returns is "the best adventure of the year" (MTV Radio).

Proving that bigger is rarely better, The Mummy Returns serves up so much action and so many computer-generated effects that it quickly grows exhausting. In his zeal to establish a lucrative franchise, writer-director Stephen Sommers dispenses with such trivial matters as character development and plot logic, and charges headlong into an almost random buffet of minimum story and maximum mayhem, beginning with a prologue establishing the ominous fate of the Scorpion King (played by World Wrestling Federation star the Rock, in a cameo teaser for his later starring role in--you guessed it--The Scorpion King). Dormant for 5,000 years, under control of the Egyptian god Anubis, the Scorpion King will rise again in 1933, which is where we find The Mummy's returning heroes Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, now married and scouring Egyptian ruins with their 8-year-old son, Alex (Freddie Boath).
John Hannah (as Weisz's brother) and Oded Fehr (as mystical warrior Ardeth Bay) also return from The Mummy, and trouble begins when Alex dons the Scorpion King's ancient bracelet, coveted by the evil mummy Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), who's been revived by... oh, but does any of this matter? With a plot so disposable that it's impossible to care about anything that happens, The Mummy Returns is best enjoyed as an intermittently amusing and physically impressive monument of Hollywood machinery, with gorgeous sets that scream for a better showcase, and digital trickery that tops its predecessor in ambition, if not in payoff. By the time our heroes encounter a hoard of ravenous pygmy mummies, you'll probably enjoy this movie in spite of itself. --Jeff Shannon

lefty (oklahoma, usa)
if you are a brandon fraiser fan and you enjoyed and own the first one then you need to purchase this dvd. i enjoyed the first one when it was in the theaters and purchased that one as well. thought that this one might be better but is was just as good if not better than the first.
 The Mummy Returns December 26, 2009
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
The Mummy Returns is one of the best sequals in a long time! Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have great chemistry together on screen. I love this movie! It has action, adventure, romance, and comedy all in one.

Imhotep Rises Again October 26, 2009
D. Reed (Elkton, MD USA)
While the story is original, the villain is not. Again, we have people (though this time intentionally though, besides to raise the Army of Anubis, why they really want him to kill the Scorpion King, except for the reincarnated Anck-su-namun, is never explained). And again, he must suck the life out the people who opened his chest, though again intentionally compared to the first film and it isn't as long and drawn out. Though I must say, in the end, I feel a little sympathy for Imhotep as his love, the only reason for him to live, abandons him. Kudos to Arnold Vosloo for that little moment. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back again as well and still have an amazing chemistry (which you can tell when Evelyn dies and Rick is heartbroken over it). This time, they're married and have a son named Alex, whose not as annoying as some of the other kids in movies I've reviewed. Must be something about the new millenium that all of a sudden, kids can act. John Hannah is also back and is still the comedic relief but the character comes into his own I think when he fights Anck-su-namun for his sister and recreates the scene from the first film while Alex reads from the Book of the Dead. Oded Fehr and Patricia Velásquez also return from the first film though I find Velásquez' character a little annoying at times though she is a legitimate threat towards her enemies and then loving towards Imhotep (until the end), so the actress really knows how to switch emotions when called for (unlike some actresses I could name). The action sequences are executed really well. The double-decker chase/fight, the pygmies (a scary yet funny scene at the same time) and the fight with Anubis' army being my favorite sequences as you can hardly tell that CGI is going on. The music is also handled really well, I think even better than the first film, with the rousing action cue being my favorite.
