THE MUMMY RETURNS (2001) | First Time Watching | Reaction & Commentary 

Arnold Vosloo is the actor's name, in case you wanted to know.

He plays a really good villain in a lot of franchises.

Just wanted to be with his love. Over millennia. He didn’t exactly live in a kind time when he was alive. I love this movie, I love both of them. So funny I watch them every time they’re on network tv, and I own both of them on DVD lol. it’s SO much fun, and everyone is perfectly cast!

I like his self-sacrifice. After he lost Anok-Sun-Amun, he saw no reason to go on existing, and so he voluntarily fell to his end.

@@mangot589 If only Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor didn't suck so hard.

It makes me feel so bad for Imhotep though since his love for her was literally the reason he ended up mummified alive and cursed. Then he waits 3000 yrs to be reunited with her and then she’s like yeah I’m out, good luck with that pit.

@@foreverkent2225 which is why he stopped holding on and just let go. It’s honestly heart crushing

I saw a comment on that scene a long while back that points out the way Imhotep glances at Rick and Evie as if he's making peace with them, seeing their love is true before he lets himself go. The actor played his part brilliantly.

The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That's selflessness and sacrifice, the very definition of true love, versus selfishness and shallow desire. And yeah, even Imhotep realized and acknowledged this to Rick and Evie.

Facts

Is it any good?

@@beneficent2557 remember watching it as a kid, I believe Alex was a Medjay-in-training. Was totally outclassed by The Jackie Chan Adventures but was a good enough watch for me and my brother to keep coming back every Sunday.

Rufus' entrance was even better though haha

probably the best introduction of a character in recent memory. The awesome score helped it.

I know the sequels have gotten worse over time but I have to agree. There's a reason why Disney immediately greenlit two sequels and everyone was obsessed. That first movie holds up really well.

I am one of those weirdos that enjoys the original trilogy very much. Have only seen up to 4 though.

@@Vulcanerd I was with it for the first two. I thought the third had some good moments but was mostly a mess. Four and five I find unwatchable

It's a great introduction, but I destroyed it for myself when I started to think about the forward momentum that little boat has while sinking. But you can't activate that part of the brain when watching this kind of movies. You just need to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride 😀

That's a very good one

Probably an a-hole theater employee that dry ran it a day or 2 before.

Still dwelling on it as well lmao......

@@shabut not so much. But I'm reminded of it every time I see the scene.

That's why we wait for the Dvd/Blu-ray release so our viewing experience can go unscathed.

Apparently The Rock was still very busy with the WWE that this was the best CG that they could do.

I remember seeing it and the CGI was bad then. Most CGI looks good that the time it's made. Twister had amazing effects, but now some still look decent and some look bad. The Scorpion King is one of the rare ones that was never good CGI. That being said, I think the producers just had tight pockets and didn't want to spend the money to make it look good. I know The Rock's availability wasn't the best, but this movie came out 5 years after Starship Troopers, there was no excuse not to make the CGI better, in this movie. Edit: Typo

To be fair, this came out 8 months prior to Fellowship of the Ring and while it did have approximately the same budget, motion capture just wasn't there yet. Remember, this is also the same year as Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and that studio was making a huge deal out of being able to render hair semi-realistically.

@@cmlemmus494 Had motion capture been fully available, there was still the matter of the Rock's busy schedule. The tools would have been there, but they're useless without the actor.

@@ronfehr7899 I see it in the opposite direction. If better motion capture had been available, they could have choreographed a lot of the action with a stunt double and mapped Johnson's face on top. Regardless, I think we're saying the same thing in different ways. The weird CG of this film isn't entirely their fault or a result of the budget.

For real!! I live in SoCal and have seen it driving around a couple times, to this day I sooo want one!!! I almost ran a light because I was too busy fangirling.

ha yes! The info I NEEED!! haha

On a recent re-watch, that part gave me Diablo II flashbacks.

The pygmies were my favorite part.

Them hopping from head to head forcing them under was just so rude. 😛

Me too. Every time I see that scene I want to play Diablo 2 right after.

Being a fan, I would love this, but I don’t know if you’d get out of it as much if you haven’t seen the original series, TNG or even any of the older spin-offs. Guess you could watch the new movies though I’m not a big fan of them (the cast is great, though, and I didn’t think that would be possible).

What about TRUE DETECTIVE S1? Can u plz react to it?

@@dennisdrozdov1424 Star Trek, true detective y'all are trying to pick horribly boring shows.

If anything she would thoroughly enjoy Barry.

​@@shadycnetwork Barry?

Kinda glad he did though

I think remember it was rush and editors tried their best.

They used stunt doubles for the acrobatic parts but Rachel and Patricia did a lot of it. They said they had the scars on their fingers to prove it!
