  • The story is set in 1933, approximately 7 years after the events of the first film. Rick O'Connell is now married to Evelyn and the couple has settled in London, where they are raising their 8-year-old son Alex. When a chain of events finds the corpse of Imhotep resurrected in the British Museum, the mummy Imhotep walks the earth once more, determined to fulfill his quest for immortality. But another force has also been set loose in the world... one born of the darkest rituals of ancient Egyptian mysticism, and even more powerful than Imhotep. When these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the balance, sending the O'Connells on a desperate race to save the world from unspeakable evil, and rescue their son before it is too late...

    Best one out the whole trilogy, I understand he was the villain but considering he gave everything he had to try to bring back the woman he loved and endured a curse all through that as well just to be abandoned by her by the end kinda made me feel bad for Imhotep.

    Thanks for exploring this! Definitely a fun movie, though I agree that the first one had more character, humor, tension, and plot. Imhotep was much scarier in the first, especially what he does to the hapless Americans. Still, the second flick did launch The Rock on his way to the huge action star he is today.

    I was pretty exited when they announced production of a Mummy remake. I saw the Boris Karloff original on tv when I was around 10 yo. This was in communist Cuba and we didn't have a television set. I saw at my uncle's house whose backyard was back to back with ours. The movie ended after midnight and I was scared shitless to walk back home in the dark. I stopped halfway to piss outside and while doing it I felt something touch my lower back, it was my dog chippy who stood up and put his paws on my waist. I pissed my pants, I nearly shit, and almost passed out. The original Mummy, to this day, is as creepy as can be. The first remake with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as Imhotep, 1958 I think, was also excellent. The scene when the mummy is resurrected and comes out of the swamp was scary as hell. The 1999 remake was amazing, I only wish it was a lot less humorous. I was disappointed with Mummy Returns and I agree with you, way too much CGI and no substance. It was CGI overload in my opinion. However, I also agree with you on preferring to watch it over the crap being put out these days.

    @celestialspartan1176 Год назад

    I honestly thought that the concept of the Scorpion King turning into a centaur beast was interesting on paper. I mean, some of the details on the cgi model looked pretty solid to start out, with the overall body shape, multiple pincers, and corrupted veins. Emphasis on “start out” because, if the vfx crew had more time to render the King properly, he would’ve been a solid movie monster instead of a rushed effect.

    The cgi definitely wasn’t bad for 2002, it wa the first time a humanoid being in cgi was made besides the HULK a year later which wasn’t bad for the time either.

    💙 Oded Fehr 💙 as much as I enjoy watching both Mummy and Returns, I was disappointed with the CGI Scorpion King... but I'll still watch, regardless 😍 hope you are well, Niyat! 👍

    I suggest:
    Horcruxes (Harry Potter)
    Dragons (Inheritance Cycle)
    Orca, Goblins, and Uruk Hai (LOTOR)
    The Dark Curse (Once Upon a Time)

    I was meh on the mummy franchise but any time the Rock does a sword and sandal movie I love it. So very happy this franchise gave us Scorpion King 1.
    Will you be doing the Michelle Yeoh installment?
