Happy Wednesday, Addie. The Mummy Returns (2001) is a nice follow-up to the first film, despite the crappy CGI of the Scorpion King near the end. Turns out, they didn't have enough resources to animate Dwayne Johnson's likeness at the time. My favorite scene in the movie is the double-decker bus chase. I totally agree with you that Rick & Evy's son, Alex, has traits of them, and his scenes with Evy's brother, Jonathan, are hilarious throughout, as well as when Imhotep cries out "NOOOOOO!" when Rick stabs the Scorpion King. And yes, there were TWO snake scenes in this one. Now (I don't care what anyone says) you should watch The Scorpion King (2002) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008). #MoreMummyForAddieCounts

This is not as good as the first movie but its still fun. This was The Rock's first movie if I remember right. I liked the references to the original The Mummy from the 1932. The first movie was a remake of that.

Yeah, the CGI for the Scorpion King is famously terrible. I don't know if they were rushed or what. The biggest critique of this movie is that it focused too much on the creatures, not enough on the actual human characters. The Scorpion King standalone movie can definitely be skipped, it just wasn't very good. But I hope you do watch the third Mummy movie(Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor), it's pretty fun and smartly takes the story in a new direction.

Happy Wednesday, Addie! 😊 Excited that you're continuing on with the "Mummy" trilogy. This is my favorite of two sequel movies. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. Have a great day today! 😊

...and the way you freaked out when Rick caught the snake reminded me of when you freaked out when a snake went into Dr. Burke in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).

Speaking of Stephen Sommers, who directed both Mummy movies, I also suggest The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993), Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994), Van Helsing (2004), and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009). #MoreStephenSommersForAddieCounts

The delayed kneeling "Noooo!" after the Scorpion King is stabbed is priceless. I'll vote for stopping this series here. Nothing against Maria Bello but Evie wasn't a great fit. I'd suggest watching The Scorpion King only if you intend to watch the sequels as well... if you are thinking of diving into bad movies, take a deep dive!

For me, the third Mummy movie is a huge let down because of the constant reminder of the great sucking void that the lack of Rachel Weisz.

I love anything Ancient Egyptian so I'm a sucker for this movie. I got to work on a book about Ancient Egypt so that was super fun.

Billy Dancel

I didn't mind most of the same cast in a new-ish story. The addition of the scorpion king, IMO, was so he would get his own movie out of it. As for the third mummy movie, it's in the same category as the scream sequels, you don't need to mark off those boxes.

the third one was strange without Rachel Weisz but the trade off is you get Jet Li as the bad guy.

Julian San

You know it’s notoriously bad when even the Crimson Countess points out the PlayStation CGI on the Scorpion King!

Jake Steffen

I know I am in the minority but I definitely enjoyed the third one quite a bit

everybody acts like the 3rd movie belongs on mystery science theater 3000.

A few links regarding the VFX in The Mummy films, especially the Scorpion King animation. This first discusses the VFX in a bunch of films and includes the Scorpion King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWOm1wxOjmQ&t=888s This video is a discussion of VFX from the first film, where one of the reactors was the VFX Art Director on the film for ILM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lKBaK-Q40Y This video includes a bunch of different films again, but one of the commentors was a VFX artist for ILM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8JgN_srwCc Finally, in this video, the Corridor Crew uses modern techniques like deep fakes to redo the Scorpion King shot. They make it look pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH1V6CHO1Jk
