Review: The Mummy: Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), an Egyptologist with a well earned reputation for chaos and mayhem, recruit Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), a down and out, retired foreign legion officer, to guide her to a lost city in search of a great archaeological find. Int he process they unleash a mummy of incredible power and have to face off against him to save the world from his power. A very fun movie to watch, and well worth the time and money, the mummy and his cohorts are scary, but not overly gross, and the action is non stop and unflinching, while the humor just keeps flowing along with the action and adventure. Littles might have a problem with the monsters, but the rest of the family should have no problem with the rest.
The Mummy Returns: Yep, the Mummy is back and O'Connell and Evelyn, now married with a small boy, who has the same sense of adventure as his father and talent for mayhem as his mother, must face off against him when he kidnaps Alex, played by Freddie Boath. Fun and adventure abound in this one as much as the first, so grab a bowl of corn and enjoy.
The Scorpion King: The Rock revises his role in The Mummy Returns here, and does a mediocre job of it. The script was a cookie cutter barbarian revenge movie, and the direction seemed a bit like the director was bored with it before it started. The kids like the Rock so they will enjoy it, but i was bored at times, and the other times i was only mildly interested.
