Editorial Review:
One of the greatest action-adventure movies of all time is back with a vengeance in The Mummy Returns 2-Disc Deluxe Edition! Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz reunite with director Stephen Sommers (producer of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) in this thrilling sequel. Now the fate of mankind is at stake: the mummy has been resurrected with an even more powerful force, The Scorpion King (The Rock). Bursting with exciting bonus features and a digitally restored picture, this bold-epic is “breathlessly action-packed” (New York Daily News).
The Mummy Returns (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) Reviews:
Enter The Scorpion King 
2009-11-11 - The Mummy Returns is an awesome movie. and it brings the start to The Scorpion King. this is an awesome Movie. I Recommend This Movie For Everyone. If you liked this movie check out the other two Mummy Movies
The Mummy
The Mummy 3: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
Imhotep Rises Again 
2009-10-26 - While the story is original, the villain is not. Again, we have people (though this time intentionally though, besides to raise the Army of Anubis, why they really want him to kill the Scorpion King, except for the reincarnated Anck-su-namun, is never explained). And again, he must suck the life out the people who opened his chest, though again intentionally compared to the first film and it isn't as long and drawn out. Though I must say, in the end, I feel a little sympathy for Imhotep as his love, the only reason for him to live, abandons him. Kudos to Arnold Vosloo for that little moment. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back again as well and still have an amazing chemistry (which you can tell when Evelyn dies and Rick is heartbroken over it). This time, they're married and have a son named Alex, whose not as annoying as some of the other kids in movies I've reviewed. Must be something about the new millenium that all of a sudden, kids can act. John Hannah is also back and is still the comedic relief but the character comes into his own I think when he fights Anck-su-namun for his sister and recreates the scene from the first film while Alex reads from the Book of the Dead. Oded Fehr and Patricia Velásquez also return from the first film though I find Velásquez' character a little annoying at times though she is a legitimate threat towards her enemies and then loving towards Imhotep (until the end), so the actress really knows how to switch emotions when called for (unlike some actresses I could name). The action sequences are executed really well. The double-decker chase/fight, the pygmies (a scary yet funny scene at the same time) and the fight with Anubis' army being my favorite sequences as you can hardly tell that CGI is going on. The music is also handled really well, I think even better than the first film, with the rousing action cue being my favorite.
London bus scene worth price of admission.
2009-04-16 - If you like Brendan Fraser, then you will like this movie. I see that some people classify this as horror. I would say it's camp. An enjoyable reprise of the first movie. This edition also contains a digital copy of the movie, so you can pop it onto your ipod.
Great Sequel
2009-01-08 - Great continuation to the story. It is a solid follow-up to the first movie. Again, super cast, solid story, and a fun ride. Quick comment on the Mummy 3. Poor cast choices for the son(there wasn't a teenager available from Harry Potter?) and Evie(Rachel Weisz, the only Evie, would have come back if the story had been there). Poor story, they should have gone back to Egypt. If you raised Imoteph 2 times, you could do it one more time,( still can; have Imoteph fall in love with Evie, and come back from the underworld to claim her at any cost. His girl let him down and he saw the love that Rick and Evie have for each other. All he wants is to be loved, at any cost. Someone write a screen play and right the wrong the producers and writers of The Mummy 3 did to the franchise.) Brenden Fraser was too nice doing part 3, ya'll let him down big time! I wrote my review of part 3 here b/c I won't be purchasing it.
Great follow-up movie
2008-11-12 - Another great adventure with lots of action and computer generated visuals. You can always count on Brendan Fraser for a great performance. Another winner.
