	The Mummy Returns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mummy Returns is a 2001 movie starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and is directed by Stephen Sommers.
		The Mummy Returns also had a 2002 spin-off The Scorpion King, which is set 5000 years prior and focuses on The Scorpion King, who is introduced in Mummy Returns.
		As the title suggests, the mummy Imhotep has returned with the help of his reincarnated lover Meela Nais (Patricia Velásquez) and the O'Connells (played by Fraser and Weisz), as well as their son Alex.

	Filmboy: The Mummy Returns (2001)
		This year’s harbinger of the season is "The Mummy Returns." This flick has everything a summer movie should — big special effects, lots of action, a fantastic storyline — but for some reason, it still left me a little cold.
		This film is, of course, the sequel to "The Mummy," the smash hit of Summer ’99 that re-invented the mummy movie for a new generation.
		Gone is the sly humor and moody atmosphere of "The Mummy." The movie’s few attempts at humor are forced and the chills are few and far between.

	The Mummy Returns: Collector's Edition DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Nearly all of the team on both sides of the camera from the first "Mummy" are back, crucially writer/director Stephen Sommers and star Brendan Fraser, which gives the new film the benefit of continuity without succumbing to repetition.
		Although "Returns" is scrupulous about adhering to plot points set forth in the earlier film, new viewers won’t be confused by the story, while those already in the know won’t be bored.
		"Returns" begins with a battle in Chapter 1, complete with impressively distinct and discrete sword hits in each of the speakers and great roaring sands as the Scorpion King (wrestler the Rock), transformed from a mortal monarch into a monstrous warrior, leads an army of dog-headed Anubis soldiers before being consigned to the underworld.

		When these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the balance, sending the O'Connells on a desperate race to save the world from unspeakable evil and rescue their son before it is too late.
		The press and media made the original Mummy out to be this great horror movie, and it ened up being a joke to both horror,action, and the comedy genres.
		The Mummy Returns drops the entire horror motif, and runs with what the first one should have...adventure.

	Mummy Returns, The (2001): Reviews
		Although the sequel retains its predecessor's breezy retro spirit, The Mummy Returns is a mite darker and scarier and the effects a little spiffier.
		The mistake of The Mummy Returns is to abandon the characters, and to use the plot only as a clothesline for special effects and action sequences.
		The noisome action sequences of The Mummy Returns are preferable to the quiet times, when the cast is limited to spouting dialogue that is a banal combination of exposition and homily.

	TheMovieBoy Review: The Mummy Returns (2001)
		In true sequel fashion, "The Mummy Returns," the first big-budget follow-up to 1999's box office smash, "The Mummy," is notably bigger and more extravagant.
		The inevitably convoluted plot of "The Mummy Returns," written and directed by Stephen Sommers, is a passable one, but also offers up one gaping suspension of disbelief after another.
		The major beef I have with "The Mummy Returns" is the same one I had with the original.

		The Mummy was such a guilty pleasure because it had a certain level of fun in it missing from other movies.
		The Mummy Returns is such a guilty pleasure is because everybody recognized what made the first one work, and slapped all the same elements back into this one.

	The Mummy Returns: Special Edition (2001)
		Returns didn’t obliterate Mummy to that degree, but its $201 million still marked a nice increase over the first film’s $155 million.
		While Mummy got a decent advertising push, it didn’t compare to the blitz that accompanied the sequel; the success of Mummy caught the studio a little by surprise, but that wouldn’t occur for the new flick.
		Returns continues along those lines; it really is a “more of the same” movie, but it succeeds pretty well nonetheless.

	The Mummy Returns by Alan Silvestri
		Functioning similarly to the concluding track of The Mummy release, the main and secondary themes are presented in concise and most memorable fashions.
		The net result wouldn't be necessarily be deemed an "emotionally balanced score" but nevertheless one that is a ton of fun with an adequate amount of music that allows one to take a breath or two.
		Even though The Mummy Returns shares many of the same musical elements with The Mummy it actually bares little resemblance to the first film's score.

		If The Mummy: Ultimate Edition was a glorified advertisement for The Mummy Returns, then the raison d'être of this Collector's Mummy Returns is to promote the upcoming The Scorpion King.
		Before The Mummy Returns begins proper, the disc defaults to a trailer for the spring 2002 theatrical release introduced by The Rock himself.

		It may not seem logical but it's true, and "The Mummy Returns" is Exibit A. I recently considered the possibility that my first impression may have been in error so I decided to re-watch it after over five years.
		In the end there are not enough bright spots for me to recommend "The Mummy Returns." If you were a fan of the original you may want to give this a look, but this fan was disappointed.
		When I first saw The Mummy Returns in 2001 (shortly after I had watched The Mummy on tape) I thought it was the coolest movie ever and I would re-create the battle scenes in my living room and I wanted to see it fifty times....yeah, I was small.

	Filmtracks: The Mummy Returns (Alan Silvestri)
		The Mummy Returns: (Alan Silvestri) With his last two scores representing minimalism (Cast Away) and parody (The Mexican) at their best, Alan Silvestri pours on the orchestral might for the non-stop action thriller The Mummy Returns.
		Goldsmith's score for the original film was highlighted by a handful of momentous bursts of thematic material; however the vast majority of music from The Mummy blended together in the kind of fashion that Goldsmith has tended to embrace in recent years.
		If an adventure film calls for a score of enormous presence in the film (if not for the mere fact that it has to compete with the sound effects), there is no better method than hiring a larger-than-normal brass ensemble to blast the score into existence.

		The cast from the original also returns including Arnold Vosloo as The Mummy, Oded Fehr as the Arab Warrior Priest and John Hannah as Jonathon; the film's useless comic relief.
		Here it is obvious they insert his character merely as the comic relief to possibly alleviate any uneasiness incurred by any audience members due to the film's excessive adventure - after all, it is a family film.
		One such example is a masterful sequence in which the film sets itself in London atop a moving double-decker bus where the mummies who now seem to have enormous velocity and strength attack the O'Connell's and their entourage in what proves to be the film's most memorable sequence.

		Additionally, in the pre-Lord of the Rings era of early 2001, The Mummy Returns featured two of the biggest and most impressive battles scenes on screen, reminiscent of Spartacus and Braveheart in their scope.
		Like its predecessor, The Mummy Returns is a case study in great matinee adventure, adding a modern twist to the genre.

		Dopey as it is, this Mummy returns with plenty of appealing elements and that is what matters.
		The Mummy Returns learns from the past to produce a film that is bigger, better and more tightly wound than the '99 original.
