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

Customer Reviews of The Mummy Returns (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Best movie ever!!! Even better than the first. Scorpions, actions, and a lot of hottie footage. Great special effects better than those in Ylopeze!! Better than Ylopeze in general. Yuh-BUH!
much better than the original!!
Boris Karloff's "The Mummy" was remade in 2001 into The Mummy, starring Brendan Frasier. This is the sequel and is so much better than the original. The basic plot: some evil Arab dudes have resurrected Imhotep, chief royal advisor to long-gone Egyptian pharaoh Seti I, in order to power him up enough to take out a bad-ass known as the Scorpion King (played magnificently by The Rock)- and of course, Evie and her husband (Frasier) must kill either the Scorpion King or Imhotep to prevent the other from taking over the world. The DVD is definitely your best choice for this flick; the VHS and DVD contain the same movie but the DVD has much better quality visuals and a hell of a lot more special material. (Unfortunately, only the VHS version has the music video for "Forever May Not Be Long Enough" by Live [a song from the soundtrack and a perfect pick, in my opinion]). I leave you with these words spoken by the family guardian: "My friend, there is a fine line between coincidence and faith." From a movie containing quite a bit of Christian material, this line is a perfect addition to an already great movie.
A Classic Sequel
The original Mummy was an incredible film, mixing suspense, horror, action, and comedy. This film is nearly as good, though with much less suspense, and a whole lot more action.

>I would NOT say that character developement lacked. On top of the first movie, this film had just what it needed. What would films be like without characters like these? We have Jonathan, the comedy relief, Rick, the hero who doubles as comedy relief and Evie, the hero's wife who plays an adventerous role. The others are great too.
