Hey Knights! Come join us as we watch and react for the very first time to The Mummy Returns (2001) with the incredible Brendan Fraser. We hope you enjoy our movie reaction to this classic. The Mummy Returns was such a fun time filled with thrilling action and adventure with some hints of horror. As a sequel we think it definitely succeeded in capturing the essence that made the first movie The Mummy so successful whilst also keeping the dynamic fresh and new.
The electrifying chemistry between Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as they reprise their iconic roles also returns with an energy that leaps off of the screen. This time facing a new wave of danger, ancient curses and the return of the terrifying Imhotep, brought to life by Arnold Vosloo who killed it in all the scenes he was in as the imposing Mummy!
We hope you enjoy our commentary as we unravel the film's intricate plot, examine the evolution of the characters, and marvel at the seamless blend of heart-stopping action, breathtaking visuals, and witty humor.
The Mummy franchise has become a timeless classic and we hope we get to bring you a little bit of that 90's and early 2000's nostalgia. Thank you for watching this with us ❤️

the official mummy trilogy: 1. The Mummy (1999) 2. The Mummy Returns (2001) // also, it's dwayne johnson's acting debut, and the infamous cgi-usage scene, with him, lol 3. The Scorpion King (2002) // prequel to the mummy and the mummy returns, but it's just starring dwayne johnson, no branden-frasier/o'conner and no rachel-weis/evie and no etc characters like her brother and etc, either, but it's still really good, and it is the prequel, of the mummy story/lore/trilogy

This was Dwayne Johnson's first role, that "heroric contract" wasn't a thing yet (I personally think he would excel at playing antagonists/villains). He was probably at the height of his wrestling popularity as "The Rock". The whole thing even spun into his wrestling career at the time, creating the "Hollywood Rock" era of his wrestling persona. He got his own, cool spinoff movie, "The Scorpion King," soon after due to his popularity, which I totally recommend, thus the big, Hollywood Action Hero, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was born...

@@mishiara5499 Correct. True love, in the Biblical sense, is selfless by definition. It is not merely a feeling, even though it can be felt. It is sacrifice. Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun might have shared some types of "love" such as desire and passion, and maybe they even cared about each other to a degree, but ultimately it was about what was in it for themselves. Not that that is bad in and of itself, because all healthy relationships should be reciprocal rather than one-sided, but true love requires that they love the other at least as much as themselves, and would sacrifice of themselves for the benefit and well-being of the other.

Johnathon gets a bad rap so often but I think it's important to point out the timeline of these films. While Rick was in the Foreign Legion and ended up part of the doomed Hamunaptra expedition, Johnathon also served during World War I (most likely in the trenches of France). It's true he's a shiftabout scoundrel type, but he's also a former soldier likely dealing with the same soul destroying trauma that poisoned pretty much every trench soldier in that war. His way of dealing with it seems to be just going whole hog on being irresponsible, but at the moments it counts most he shines.

​@@OfficialMediaKnightsthe problem with the Tom Cruise movie was that Universal was already focused on trying to make a cinematic universe. But they fell even shorter than DC, because DC at least had a roster of characters that are almost universally beloved. Most of Universal's monsters aren't critically acclaimed in recent years, so there wasn't as much investment going in. Plus, I think the concept reminded people of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which ruined a lot of things. Not least of which was Sean Connery's career.

Honestly it's not terrible for the time, faces were still really hard to do at the time, and it didn't help they were trying to make the face of an existing person. CG was better at environments, particles, and objects. If you look at the tidal wave face, the face itself is pretty bad but the fluid simulation of hte rest of the wave, especially as it crashes against hte canyon walls, is pretty decent for the time. Regardless, the CG gets across the idea well enough, the Scorpion King's face isn't really the focus, it's the fact that he's a giant scorpiontaur, and that's rad.

I think the difference in the two couple's love for one another is demonstrated really well in that final scene (though it is built throughout the two films). Rick telling her to go, save herself and their son and she doesn't listen, racing out to save him. Imhotep, on the other hand, calls for her to save him and she decides to save himself. I think he really did love her but even he had a desire to live even at the risk of her life. Love this movie, the two together tell a great story with good characters. Is the CGI a little rough in place? Sure. Is the overall plot and story sometimes a bit cheesy/campy, yes. But it all works so well overall IMO.

That's a great observation you made about the two different kinds of love exemplified by the two couples. Rick and Evy's love for each other was sacrificial and genuine, while Imhotep and Anak Su Namuun's love for each other was more self-driven. When both men were trying to come out of the chasm after fighting the Scorpion King, their hands were shown. Rick was wearing a wedding ring--a symbol of love and commitment. Their love was legitimate. Imhotep and Anak Su Namuun's love was built around murder and disregard for the lives of all who stood in their way. It was never legitimate.

Such a great and fun sequel. It raises the stakes a bit more too with Rick and Evy's son being caught in the middle. The horror while still there, kind of toned down a bit. It kind of also brings questions from the first film full circle in a way. Things we didn't see the first time within such context. Like there was more going on with Imhotep and Anck Su Namun, with Nefertiri watching it from the sidelines and seeing what's going on. Its like the moment when one of your parents remarry and you kind of have a disdain or contempt towards your stepparent and seeing something is not right with them. It also explains why Evy acts different here. She might be one of the few characters to have gone through such an interesting development. Hell, she kicked so much ass this time around too! Also, the musical score in this is just as good as the first one. Kind of picks up where it left off. The only real issue I have is what they did to the Scorpion King in the end. His CGI face still looks like shit lol.

How about those twists with Evie’s and Rick’s characters! Absolutely brilliant no one saw it coming lol! Btw Those fighting moves are real btw it’s an ancient Egyptian form of defence art called “Tahtib” which is derived from stick fighting and Stone shaping and in combat it was made into Egyptian Sai Swords like the ones they faught with. This is a lost art I have learned it from a few whom are left who still practice it but it’s mostly now made into a folklore dance with sticks with or without music to accompany it. Anyways back to the fight scene I’m a huge fan of that particular scene as well as it really makes me feel like I’m back to my ancient roots ❤

"In the early 2000s the VFX were terrible, but in this movie they're great so far!" That was fun to hear moments before you saw the Scorpion King xD Actually this is one of the those movies which make people think that early 2000s VFX used to suck. Back in 2001, the VFX team apologized with Brendan Fraser for the final cut, because they didn't have enough time, but Brendan Fraser, being just awesome as he is, comforted them. Anyway, this movie is still great and lot of fun even today.

If Imhotep had truly loved Anck-Su-Namun, then he wouldn't have wanted her to risk her life to save his, like how Rick told Evelyn to get out of there and save herself. And earlier, Anck-Su-Namun, despite desiring power for herself as well, had begged, implored him to forget about all of this and just happily live with her instead. That was when she learned that he would no longer have his Mummy powers. Before they were taken away, he would have defeated the Scorpion King easily, so sure, go for it, take over the world for us, but without his powers, he was likely to be killed instead. But he didn't care about what she wanted, he'd rather risk it all to dominate the world, which was something that didn't need to be done. Rick only did what he did to save the world (it needed to be saved, either way, but Anck-Su-Namun wasn't thinking about that, only that she wanted Imhotep to live and be with her). I think Imhotep really did love Anck-Su-Namun in some ways and to some extent, and we can see how her unwillngness to risk the ultimate sacrifice for him, as Evelyn had done for Rick, absolutely crushed him. In his mind, theirs was an epic love for the ages, and it really did span thousands of years, in a way. They did fight hard to be with each other, but that was driven by passion, not true love, after all, because true love is sacrifice, meaning that you care about each other more than your own selves, not mere desire (there is nothing wrong with desire and passion, but ideally there should be more). I think Anck-Su-Namun also loved Imhotep, but apparently not enough to risk her own life to save him, especially after he had ignored what she wanted for them, putting his greed above her, and then expecting her to risk her life to save him. She wasn't feeling it anymore, and took off to save herself.

This is what caught my attention as well. People diss on Anck-Su-Namun for leaving him dying without realising if Imhotep truly loved her, the way Rick loved Evei, he would never have asked her to risk her life for him. That's why I never really felt that bad for him. They both deserved each other in a way.

Difference between the couple-Rick tells Eve to just leave because he loves her and he doesn't want her to get hurt or die by falling debris, Eve goes anyway risking her life (again) to save him. With the other couple, Imhotep calls out to Anck-su-namun asking her to save him disregarding the potential risk to her life, after spending hundreds of years in hell, it seems she doesn't love him enough to risk dying and going back there again. In the end, i think what they had was not true love at all.

Hahah we had heard a lot about the CGI but we weren't prepared for the Scorpion King 😂 To be fair though, it didn't take away from the movie for us at all, in fact it sorta even added to the charm 😂 You are so correct!! So many love subplots seem to resort to breaking the couple up before they even get together, or just after because... Drama? It would be so much more interesting if we got to see a couple be functional and healthy whilst putting actual conflict in for them to resolve together instead of basing the conflict off of some miscommunication - you know, when one half of the couple overhears the other say or something but it's completely out of context so they decide to not communicate and just break up? This was so refreshing!! We need more on screen couples like this!!

Corridor Digital did an episode where they had the guy who was in charge of something for the CGI with the Scorpion King, I don't remember if it was art director, or lead animator, or what. Basically, it wasn't necessarily the time this came out (it was 2 years after Star Wars Episode I and the same year as the first Harry Potter, though obviously not as advanced as today), but mainly time constraints. The studio didn't give them enough time, so something had to be cut somewhere and it ended up being the scorpion king. So it wasn't necessarily the best they could do at the time, but more the best they could do WITH the time.

I believe the film commentary explains how the last sequence with the Scorpion King, not to mention a couple of others like the formation of the oasis at the beginning, were rushed to meet a deadline.

In many ways, I like this film even more than the original. However both were so much fun and a joy to watch just like your reactions to the movies!! I've seen a couple of others mention the third film being bad, and I agree. The biggest problem with the third movie is that they got rid of Rachel Weisz and recast Evie. It felt like there was no chemistry at all between Brandon Frazier and Maria Bello, which made the film feel like it had no heart. That plus the fact that its just not as good of a script doomed the movie. So, probably best to give that film a pass. Regardless though... Thanks for the reaction and keep up the great work as you 2 are amazing!!

The main thing we keep getting is the fact that they recast Evy and it makes total sense…seeing the chemistry these two had and then taking that away strips the movie from a lot of the things that made it work in the first place.

@@OfficialMediaKnights ​ Yeah, the biggest problem with the 3rd movie (from a chemistry standpoint) is kind of hard to explain without spoilers. On the chance that you check it out, even if just on your own, I'll say this... There is something that happens to Rick in the 3rd movie that could have been every bit as emotional as what happens to Evie towards the end of this movie. The fact that there was no chemistry there ruins the moment, which is a shame because it would have been really great to see Rachel Weisz' version of Evy reacting to that scene. I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of the biggest things that cause most (including myself) to dislike the 3rd movie.

I would advise to watch the third movie. Because first of all what I like about it is that it takes place in China instead of Egypt. We get a Chinese mummy played by Jet Li and watching Brendan Fraser and Jet Li go toe-to-toe is definitely worth it. It also has the beautiful Michelle Yeoh could we also get to see display her amazing martial arts skills. I really don't want to give too much. And you also get to see a huge battle with the Terracotta Army at the end and unlike like the climax of this movie The CGI still holds up really really well. Like the first two movies Rick and Evie have to bring an artifact to Shanghai and this artifact to gets stolen and the Dragon Emperor who is The Mummy in this movie rises and they have to beat the mummy to a certain location before the world ends. So it definitely hits a lot of the same beats of the first two movies especially The Mummy Returns. And there are some major differences as well of the film is directed by Rob Cohen instead of Stephen Sommers who said he did not have the energy to direct this film. The only two actors it brings back from the first two movies are Brendan Fraser as Rick and John Hannah as Jonathan. Rachel Weisz chose not to come back into the movie because she was just coming off the movie The Brothers Bloom and she was pregnant. She had a really busy work schedule she admitted at the time that she didn't even read the script for this movie unlike the rumors that she had read it and hated it. Rumor has it that original draft of the script we're going to have a Evie killed in a World War II air raid and it was going to be a father and son adventure. But this was before director Rob Cohen signed on to direct the movie. So he decided to bring an actress Maria Bello role of Evie. And I want to start this out by saying that Maria Bello is a beautiful and gifted woman. She is a really terrific actress I seen her in other movies so the shortcomings are not her fault. Rob Cohen the director decided he thought it would be sexy to have an American woman play the part and give her a British accent rather than assume that it needed to be a British actress. I won't beat around the bush the chemistry is not the same. I don't want to say that they don't have any chemistry I think that's sort of disingenuous. I know a lot of people want to claim that there is no chemistry but there is chemistry it's just written very differently than how the relationship was written in the first two films. No there is much chemistry between them either. I really don't want to give to much away too much in terms of the plot they basically decided to explore the concept of them being retired and that their marriage has gone stale because the passion stems from the adventure. Essentially they turned Rick and Evie into a bored married couple who sit around the mansion not knowing what to do and finding new hobbies that they're simplly not fulfilled with while they're grown son is moved out of the house. Th lack of chemistry and passion between the two simply doesn't just come out of the fact that Evie is now played by a different actress it also comes out of how their relationship was written which was for them to be bored with life and bored with each other. I think Maria Bello did the best job that she could and Brendan Fraser and her consciously decided to try to reinvent the relationship rather than try to recreate the chemistry that him and Rachel had because he knew that was impossible. And I like what Maria Bello said in her interviews at the time that if Rachel was like Audrey Hepburn then she was like Audrey Hepburn in her 40s in this movie. She really does look like Audrey Hepburn in this film you can really see the Audrey Hepburn inspirations. Something Maria does that Rachel did so well was depicting Evie is being a total badass. She has actual martial arts skills in this film and Maria learned martial arts skills from martial arts experts and really just does a style of fighting that Rachel never did and I think it's really cool to see. There's this one scene where they're walking into the museum and when the fight breaks out and Evie has a switchblade in her pocket because she knows that when she walks into a museum with a mummy in it that she better be prepared to kick ass so I thought that was a really interesting development that they carried over from the first two movies. I think you really have to try to block out the first two movies in your head and I think you can enjoy it if you can appreciate the movie on its own merit and appreciate Maria Bello her own merit without comparing her to Rachel appreciating what her and Brendan do as a couple instead doing what Brendon and Rachel did as a couple. It's definitely a guilty pleasure because is it as good as the first two movies I don't really know I mean it was definitely more of a soft reboot and I know Rob Cohen said at the time that he didn't think of this as a sequel rather he thought of it as an entirely new thing. And it has a talented cast you know and Brendan Fraser is still doing what he does best and Jonathan is still Jonathan. I think the film has a really rich mythology setting itself in China and exploring the Terracotta Warriors and the first emperor of China. It's a really cool premise it actually got me interested in Chinese culture actually and it was fun. I really do think the third movie gets a bad rap mainly because Rachel isn't in it and I think that's sort of a shame because I think Maria Bello does a good job. I became such a huge fan of hers and I did seek out her other works because of it. She stated in her interview that the time that she had a lot of respect for what Rachel did and really didn't want to diminish it really didn't want to diminish it. I think people were too quick to dismiss it and I don't think people give Maria Bello a fair shot cuz she really is a actress in the and someone who I have a great amount of respect for. The movie is really about Rick and Evie having to come to terms with that they're getting older and their son is now all grown up and they have to let him be his own man and maybe learn to let go of the past. Think Rob Cohen tries to tell a really sweet family story within this big action adventure movie. Yeah I would watch it you may not like it but at least give it a try whether you watch it on your own or if you do it as a reaction if you do watch it on your own please write a review for it cuz I would like to know your thoughts on it.

​@@OfficialMediaKnightsehh. It would be great if Rachel Weisz had been playing Evie. It's kind of hard to ignore the lack of chemistry between Rick and Evie with the new actress. Jonathan is still..Jonathan though. 😂

We can imagine! The chemistry was such a huge part during both of these films that the lack of it would immediately impact the film.

i remember when i first watched this, i was like: Me: i wondered when Anubis was going to show up. Egypt had some of the coolest Gods: Horus (sun and sky), Anubis (Underworld), Osiris (Dead, afterlife and resurection), Isis (afterlife, wife of Osiris), Sobek (God of the Nile, my personal favourite), Seth (God of Chaos and Storms), Geb (God of the Earth)

Late 90s early 2000s movies are unlike any other. Somehow there was so much creativity and effort to create really good movies. These two movies, The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings etc. etc. etc. What a time for cinema!

I first starting watching when you guys watched “Jaws” for the first time and was hooked. I’ve been binge watching all your videos. I love rewatching these movies again through a first time viewers eyes. I love the appreciation and respect you have for these films. Also, side note, I saw “The Mummy Returns” when it was originally released in 2001 and I can tell you that Scorpion King CGI had me cringing even back then! LOL! 😆

At the end when Jonathan says he will go to... somewhere in South America because it does not have mummies, if you look it up the first one found there was in 1936. (This takes place in 1932 or 33.) And I don't think they have ever done anything with this hook.

Interestingly enough Apocalypse is downplayed since actually means “Lifting Of The Veil”. Even ties a lot to certain Native American tribes such as the Hopi and the famous “Hopi Prophecy”. ❤❤❤❤

Technically, Jonathan was accurate on the sacred "ground" part, since the pygmy didn't touch the ground. And to answer your question, they were Scarab Beetles, the same as were in the sarcophagus in the first one. Still debating whose "love" was more shallow. You seen Rick's reaction seeing the danger coming to him would've been... telling Evie to get out vs. Imhotep, telling Anuk-su-namun telling her to come help him.
