I have to say, after just seeing this.

The Mummy Returns sucked.

It is probably the worst movie ever made, aside from Spice World and Drowning By Numbers.

The world has become a worse place simply because this movie exists.

I disagree. I don't believe that the movie was awesome, but it was like the first -- appealing to those who like that sort of thing.

I didn't think it was quite that bad. I've seen movies that bad, so I know.
Still, I didn't like it as much as the first, and I thought it had some huge problems:

  • The pygmy things were never explained at all, not even in passing, which made them harder to swallow.
  • Doing the Scorpion King up as total CGI was not only pointless, but the lack of time to finish it made it the worst effect in the movie. Doing partial CGI in which the Rock was himself but "modified" would have come off much, much better.
  • The whole reincarnation thing was severely overdone and didn't carry enough of the plot of the movie to bother leaving in; on the whole the movie could have been written more smartly around it--except in the case of the mummy's girlfriend, whose name I can't remember how to spell.

I haven't seen it, though I enjoyed its predecessor. From what I've heard here and elsewhere, this one sounds like it might be worth a rental but not much more.

Now if you want bad movies, try one of these:

Meet the Feebles
Deep Impact
The Contender

But of course you don't want bad movies. These aren't the "so bad it's good" kind. (In fact, I was positive "Meet the Feebles" would be that kind of movie, but I was so, so wrong.)

    Anck-su-namun, I believe.

    Anyway, all of your points I agree with. Mostly, I found it pretty stupid that they were all fated by destiny.

What I want to know is why didn't the mummy in the first movie recognise the heroe's girl as the pharaoh's daughter, instead of mistaking her for his long lost love? Big whoopsie there! The movie had some good comedic points, and I guess the effects were nice, not top of the line, but nice....

What else would they be fated by?

If you happen to enjoy bad movies there is a website that reviews them: http://www.badmovies.org/

They have lots of movies including such classics as "The Tingler" and "The Blob".

Hmm... just read some comments at IMDB.com. It sounds like it might be a good way for me to recapture the queasy despair of "Meet the Feebles" (and thereby torture my unsuspecting friends). I'll keep it in mind!

Probably lies. The Fates don't like people who lie.
