DVD Reviews: The Mummy Returns

The Mummy Returns
(DVD Mummy)

Rick and Evy are back for more adventures, this time with a son. Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones who return, as a group of worshippers brings Imhotep back to life. He is set on reviving his beloved – Anck Su Namun – and taking over an undead army belonging to the Scorpion King, a man who made a pact with Anubis and only awakens once every 5,000 years. For Imhotep to take over his army he must kill the Scorpion King. To do so will involve the bracelet of Anubis, which Rick and Evy have just managed to uncover. When Imhotep goes to steal the bracelet he sees that their son Alex is wearing it. They take him with the bracelet, leaving Rick and Evy reeling. Now they must save their son, retrieve the bracelet, and stop Imhotep before he raises the Scorpion King and all hell breaks loose, literally.

 

Loved this sequel almost as much as the original. It was great to have the original cast back together, and even adding some new faces to go with them. The humor is there, the action and romance as well, and being set in Egypt you get to see a lot of really neat places from history.
