This was their shot at a "Monsterverse" and they fumbled it. I'd have watched RIck and Evie fight The Wolfman, Dracula, The Monster from the Black Lagoon, all that,
The Mummy Returns was fun, but not as great as the first. Eve's hidden backstory, the frequent callbacks to the first, the kid, and that Scorpion King's design were odd.
I maintain that if at the end battle that when the Scorpion King appeared at the end of the movie, he had looked basically like he did at the beginning of the movie, only supernaturally stronger/not a CGI effect and Rick and Imhotep had to team up to fight him like Riggs and Murtaugh against Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4....it would be a much more well regarded sequel. It's still pretty good though..
The Mummy Returns is the reason why I went to film school. I loved this one so much as a kid. Still got the tickets. Got the VHS too. Too bad that part 3 copied the same plot...
I Remember Ordering And Watching The Mummy Returns On Pay-per-View Back November '01 But That Cgi Human Scorpion Hybrid Pissed Me Off. The Tv Spots And Trailers To The Mummy Returns Is Outstanding.
lol it’s soooooo bad. It honestly made me love the movie more over the years. Idk if they ran out of money with it came to the rock or what. lol it’s so bad , but I love it
Both movies are great. Eve's hidden backstory was highly relevant. As per Ardeth bay Eve was a princess in her past life and O Connell is a Medjai who is supposed to protect her. Hence the frequent callbacks to the first movie were of utmost importance. Scorpion king's Cgi was not good but that doesn't make it a bad movie.
I like this one a tad bit more than the first only because Rick is now a father and husband and Evelyn is no only a wife and mother but kicks major patootie! I liked the family dynamic. I dont see much of that in modern movies nor television.
One day mummy returns came on TV and my girlfriend and i were watching it. She had never seen it. I told her the movie is awesome except there is this one thing that fuck it up, but i didnt tell her what it was. When CGI rock appeared she was like "WTF???" and was laughing and cussing and was just flabergasted. Whenever i think of this movie, I think of that more than i think of the actual movie. All because CGI Rock was SOOOOO BAAAAAD.
The Mummy 1 is the best and my fav., the sequel it's good too however the 2008 sequel not so much & it's the reason the 2011 sequel was cancelled (The Mummy: Rise of the Aztec), it could be masterpiece
They did so little research on this movie it was insane. Sai are important weapons in this story in ancient Egypt but wouldn't be invented for several thousand years...
it was RUSHED, they didn't have Stan Winston do the Scorpion king puppet, or have The rock in prosthetics (heck, the rock is wtf happened to this movie) it's at least better than the 3rd and 2017 wtf
"The Mummy Returns" just as nearly entertaining as the original, but its not as good. I think the CGI going overboard does impact the film and it doesn't age as well. However, the characters, humor, and action do make this sequel worth watching.
The Mummy Returns is OK. I'll watch it occasionally, but it can't compare to the 1999 film. Even when I was a kid, I felt the pacing was off here. The movie basically starts and goes 150 MPH the whole way through. There is never a chance to breathe and actually enjoy things, like with the first film. No highs and lows. I feel like Stephen Sommers learned the wrong lessons here, which only got worse with Van Helsing.
I dare to say (I'm not afraid) the two Mummy movies are Better than Indiana Jones (not talking about the new terrible Indiana Jones movie) I didn't care for the Third Movie though, saw it only once in the cinema and forgot about it I was Allergic to the whole China thing already back then
For old classic movies with bad cgi, I’m ok with remastering some cgi to improve it. The Mummy 2 was almost a perfect movie till the Scorpion King showed up. Even as a kid back then I was perplexed at the bad cgi
I remember watching this movie. it was fun. No where near as good as the first, but as a big WWF fan, I loved seeing the Rock. Also, get rid of the kid and the bad CGI, and it actually would have been a great sequel instead of really good.
I also love ❤️ Patricia Velasquez she did a great job in this movie and she is so incredibly sexy as hell bro 😎 and I’m a huge fan of her now too loved 🥰 her to death too man!!
The Mummy 1 and 2 are the reason I had huge difficulties to take Batiatus seriously in the beginning. Then, it made me understand how great an actor he was. Batiatus was a great part (between all the cringe in sparatacus, I always loved the fights and the interactions between characters).
Correction : annoying little kids are an important part of... life... if you have a family you know that :-) No matter how much you love them, their ability to ignore the most basic consequences and doing basically everything to die any chance they have make Alex a quite believable character 🙂
The Mummy is my favorite Universal monster, but I didn't like either of these of these films that much...especially the 2nd one. Why do they insist on bringing a kid character into the sequels?? Actually, I like the Scorpion King and the Mummy 3 movies better than the 1st two.
You have a very different opinion from everyone else. 99% of people call the first a classic, The second a good movie but lesser in quality sequel , and the third an ok movie. Can you elaborate on how you think the 3rd movie is better ?
I love this movie. It was my childhood. This and the Mummy 1999 are perfect.
Yep mine too. I was 10 years old when the first one can out. I’ve watched both of these numerous times
Yeah mine too and I was 4 years old when the 1999 came out and I was 6 years old when the 2nd movie was released and these are classic movies too
This was their shot at a "Monsterverse" and they fumbled it.
I'd have watched RIck and Evie fight The Wolfman, Dracula, The Monster from the Black Lagoon, all that,
Would have preferred that to Van Helsing, which takes the problems with this movie and puts them on steroids.
Rachel Weisz was so hot in these movies lol. Her presence was surely missed in the third one.
Still hot now
I had more issue with Alex being played by Seth Rogen LOL
By putting this on, you have started a chain reaction that could bring about the next apocalypse
Hey, lighten up. (lol)
What happened was Meela/Anck Su Namun
FML, I'll never unsee that. Set standards to a teenage me that nobody will ever meet.
The Mummy Returns was fun, but not as great as the first. Eve's hidden backstory, the frequent callbacks to the first, the kid, and that Scorpion King's design were odd.
couldn’t have been better said
It's a badly cgi Dwayne the rock johnson😂😂
Yep I agree
Both movies are classics in my opinion. I’ve watched them numerous times as a kid
My favorite growing up. I prefer the sequel over the original. The scorpion king used to creep me out lol
Most people can criticize it all they want but it will always be one of my favorite film of all time.
I maintain that if at the end battle that when the Scorpion King appeared at the end of the movie, he had looked basically like he did at the beginning of the movie, only supernaturally stronger/not a CGI effect and Rick and Imhotep had to team up to fight him like Riggs and Murtaugh against Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4....it would be a much more well regarded sequel. It's still pretty good though..
This was my childhood movie that cgi tho will always live rent free in my head 😅
Because of this one I went to film school.
😂 I fucking love it so much! The Rock was such an absolute awful actor to. When he came out it was so horrific lol love it
The Mummy Returns is the reason why I went to film school. I loved this one so much as a kid. Still got the tickets. Got the VHS too. Too bad that part 3 copied the same plot...
That CG looks about as good as that new Flash movie
Flash was abour 3 times of Mummy returns budget
@@johnbernhardtsen3008 and looks just as sad!
This was actually the first mummy movie I saw and I loved it as a kid, so this is one of my comfort movies.

the hierarchy of the monster universe is about to change--
..into a humanoid cgi crab
…Scorpion.

Rick and his wife Evan? 😂
I like this one a tad bit more than the first only because Rick is now a father and husband and Evelyn is no only a wife and mother but kicks major patootie! I liked the family dynamic. I dont see much of that in modern movies nor television.
One of the best times I’ve had at the movies. My grandma loved it
"HA KU MACHEN TE!!!"

I like all the movies even the Tom Cruise one
I loved that one 2. Think we’re the only 2 ppl. I thought her mummy was epic
@@goochmcduck4285Make that 3 😂
It was a good flick but that cgi scorpion king was just terrible 😂
The Mummy 1 is the best and my fav., the sequel it's good too however the 2008 sequel not so much & it's the reason the 2011 sequel was cancelled (The Mummy: Rise of the Aztec), it could be masterpiece
What!??! Omg I never knew that!!! I will forever be sad about that. You’re right it could have been amazing
I loved this movie. Saw it in theaters with my family lol. Dont hate on this at ALL. The mummy 1&2? 💯💯💯
The Neferti angle was dumb...the Scorpion King was laughable
Nothing wrong with it other than they mostly retold the first story but with more screen time for the girlfriends. and a chick fight.
Mummy 1&2 are top tier cinema. 🔥
They did so little research on this movie it was insane. Sai are important weapons in this story in ancient Egypt but wouldn't be invented for several thousand years...
I love these series. I enjoy them even if I have never and probably will never watch some of the movies. Luckily I have seen most of them
Im always down to watch both these movies. i watch them every few months 😂😂...
it was RUSHED, they didn't have Stan Winston do the Scorpion king puppet, or have The rock in prosthetics (heck, the rock is wtf happened to this movie) it's at least better than the 3rd and 2017 wtf

As smart as that kid was, he was annoying and I still hated Evie's brother.

Good summer movie, it's really fun

love this movie
The jump scare on the thumbnail 😂😂😂 this was the worst cgi ever
This is when CGI peaked.
I also love ❤️ Patricia Velasquez she did a great job in this movie and she is so incredibly sexy as hell bro 😎 and I’m a huge fan of her now too loved 🥰 her to death too man!!
Van Helsing is underrated
that is BATIATUS 😂😂 He have crixus, gannicus, and Spartacus 😂😂
The Mummy 1 and 2 are the reason I had huge difficulties to take Batiatus seriously in the beginning. Then, it made me understand how great an actor he was. Batiatus was a great part (between all the cringe in sparatacus, I always loved the fights and the interactions between characters).
Awesome movie but CGI Monster Rock 🤣🤦♂️
I actually liked this movie, but the video game sucked donkey balls!!!
Brendan Fraser not Frasier.
I really did enjoy this movie and I love Rachel Weisz in this movie and she is so incredibly sexy as hell bro 😎 and I just loved 🥰 her to death man!!
What happened? Bad writer, rushed production, stunt casting.
It would RUIN that scene if they Star-Wars-Special-Editioned it
There were so many CGI effects that looked awful in this one.
Mummy 2 is an excellent bad movie.
It was mid. Felt like every other line was, “let’s do it! AGAIN.”
Look at that Awful CGI 😂😂😂
1 and 2 were awsome 3 not so much.anything straight to video no good. But Tom cruise mummy was a disaster unwatchable. I felt all hope was gone
