20th anniversary of The Mummy Returns - May 4, 2001

I enjoy it a lot. It’s a fun sequel. I’m a little bit forgiving about the special effects mainly because the design of the Anubis Warriors and even the Scorpion King at least look cool. And if we’re being honest they kind of fit the vibe of the movie.

I didn't like it. It simply lacked charm of the first one. I thought the Alex character was really annoying and the story basically felt like a rehash of the first one.

And of course, one of the worst CGI of a big budget movie.

I only enjoyed the first Mummy movie of the franchise. The rest were disappointing.

I was exhausted by the fx when I first saw it-I felt it was waaay overkill--the army of Anubis does nothing--they all disappear and there's no bodies. And the oasis disappearing. It is a cool effect but exhausting visually--when you first see it.

On the other hand after watching it a couple of times, while I still prefer the first one, I liked it enough.
I think Sommers directs actors well--the kid is not annoying even though he is supposed to be annoying. He's nowhere near as bad as a Spielberg movie kid.

I felt Weisz was better in the first movie--she looked different and I preferred her personality in the first movie. The reincarnated princess--give it a rest.

Brendan Fraser has some good comedy moments like when Oded Fehr sees the tattoo and gives him a secret password code-he countered Fehr's totally serious approach with that comical incredulous tone-also his pilot friend. "You're gonna get shot."

This does have some really bad cgi--the Scorpion King's face, and the scene where Arnold Vosloo regenerates in the train car--that is the worst cgi I have seen in a big budget movie--that closeup of his face--why???
But the concept of the Scorpion King was cool--I liked the opening scene best with the narration and the little peplum story in the desert--the music was good too--I just think they ruined it with that awful cgi.

Sommers has the worst attitude to cgi--he just loads the movie with it.
He doesn't care if it looks like a video game.

I expected him to have graphic sex with your mom. Man that would have been so much better.

Wow your mother had graphic sex with Dwayne Johnson that's why you're eager to see him dressed as scorpion boy. That's right insult an innocent woman who doesn't know you exist, twat. You said something braindead live with it instead of insulting a user's entire family tree.

Crappy cgi...even back then. The first Mummy was better looking.

But yea I remember being super excited to see The Rock in a movie. His role was kind of disappointing but at the time nobody knew if he had any acting chops or not.

The CGI is the biggest problem, but it's still a pretty fun follow up overall.
