The Mummy Returns.
G.
2 hr. 9 min.
Directed by: Stephen Sommer.
Release Date: May 4, 2001.
This was magnificent for it`s type - yep i`m a child somtimes hehe. Entering the era of the CGI support cast to a tea and not to over the top where it was just plain over the top, but instead followed a more ...well- Fraser comedy in its duh, stupidity hm haha.
Weisz was again stunningly brilliant as with the main cast in general. The story I found did leave open the avenue for the plot to build on/around the 'Scorpion King' (i am yet to see - after the third, I think) with the young lad almost throwing the prevailing importance along with the object from veiw as it turned out. The sets were grand yet largely basic, embracing instead the outdoors or such a scurge on the world (the desert,in all its beauty and power) - did you know sand is the best things to extinguish a/'the' fire ...anyway loved the brittish influence and the chaseing addrenalin of the Fraser folowing, keeping in close with the original again leaves that ...'opening' for an adjacent P.O.V. I cant wait for 'The Scorpion King', and the surrounding marketablity of another feature with out a darn 'to be continued'.
