positive · AI labelView post →Some will look at this image from the film “The Mummy Returns” and see an image that didn’t actually occur. An artificial creation we should not consider a news story. But the learned man knows it demonstrates a deep truth about how people turn into Scorpion Kings and what that means for our society
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually seen on a movie marquee: The Mummy Returns Bridget Jones' Diary

neutral · AI labelView post →> VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now Article includes screenshot from The Mummy Returns which is from 2001 and is therefore old enough to watch any of the other films mentioned.
neutral · AI labelView post →All the films in the following list are PG-13, PG, or older and unrated, and I went light on sexual themes in the PG-13 part (except for Austin Powers, because... it's Austin Powers). This is just me quickly going through my own movie collection. PG-13: - Arachnophobia (1990) - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) - Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - Cabin Boy (1994) - Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) - Gremlins (1984) -…
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t think this is true. I just think the movie has to not have marriage as the plot. If you want to make a great movie about marriage, you make a movie about anything else with a married couple as the leads. For example, The Mummy Returns is a good marriage movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the The Mummy Returns for the first time in a long time on PlutoTV today and yes, the CGI for the Scorpion King doesn't look good, but have you considered that the green screens and graphics for the rest of the movie also look like that?

neutral · AI labelView post →ok so, The Mummy is inarguably the better movie, and certainly would still stand alone as having one of the hottest casts a movie has ever had, but consider for a moment, Rachel Weisz in The Mummy Returns
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching that Elvis movie and it honest to god feels like a slut liberation front sponsored propaganda film during a big outreach drive with straight people for the first time since The Mummy Returns
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mummy 1999. An excellent pulpy action-adventure-horror film starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo. Has a fun sequel, The Mummy Returns, which itself has a fun prequel titled The Scorpion King. There is a third Mummy movie titled The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Do not watch that one; the script was so terrible that Weisz refused to return. I'm unsure about the various sequels to The Scorpion King. There was a reboot released in 2017 starring Tom Cruise. It's…

But quick examples where there were multiple people of different genders that got me 🫠... * The Mummy Returns * Hackers * Empire Records * Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End * Hunger Games Catching Fire * Empire Strikes Back (my ORIGINAL bi panic movie!)

neutral · AI labelView post →Been feeling a bit subdued and sad today, so I’m heating up some leftover vegan chili and going to settle in to The Mummy Returns. Sequel to an basically perfect film. Also, I bought my first lipstick today! I kinda like it
positive · AI labelView post →the bad news; Van Helsing is *not* free on YouTube, so I can't watch the ultimate stupid Halloween movie for Halloween the good news; The Mummy Returns is free on YouTube, so I can still indulge in furry obsessing. Even if the awesome opening sequence makes it more of a Passover movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I can’t believe there are no Fraser fans in here! The Mummy Returns is no The Mummy but Brendan and Rachel still bring it. I feel no shame saying it’s a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →Who is the most attractive villain in Movie or TV history? IMO… Anck-Su-Namun in The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001)
neutral · AI labelView post →The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go. I'm going by the specific month, because the #1 film of the year when I was ten was the transphobic wizard movie *Googles* ...The Mummy Returns? Never even heard of it. I think this is a gif from it????
neutral · AI labelView post →Possession, The Mummy Returns, Twin Peaks: The Return ep1-3, and a biopic about my friend's aunt... incredible movie going week for me incoming
neutral · AI labelView post →I think you mean The Mummy Returns, the movie where the character was introduced (and Dwayne Johnson got out-acted by what looked like a sprite from Doom 3). Unless I'm forgetting a CGI DJ scene from the spin-off?
negative · AI labelView post →WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It is a wrestling game featuring characters such as The Rock from popular fantasy movie The Mummy Returns.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mummy is obviously the better movie but the Mummy Returns has my favorite scene in any movie ever, which is this one for the absolutely hilarious and theatrical way Imhotep slides into frame to scream NOOOOoooooo after Brendan Fraser stabs CGI RockScorpion. youtu.be/GYMfWitsqik?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Weirdly for being such an intensely horny movie, The Mummy Returns is not really a monsterfucker movie. You get a few seconds of non decayed jackal warriors, and unless you really like The Rock with weird textures, that’s it.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is still not a *good* movie (it has long been my least favorite Sommers flick even counting THE MUMMY RETURNS, which I have never been a huge fan of) but I gotta admit I am having a million times more fun tonight than I ever have watching it before. Which is exactly what I hope for🤘🏼

In keeping with #weekM theme of #MovieTitle, here are 2 of many films shot there i.e. "The Mummy Returns" (2001) & "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" (2014).
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's distraction movie is The Mummy Returns (2001) with all the pretty people in it. Very good escapism tonight and it's needed.
positive · AI labelView post →I was today years old when I learned the director of Van Helsing, Stephen Sommers, also directed The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Idk how I never made the connection, that man sure can make a bisexual movie. Hell give him Resident Evil 4 to adapt too, he understands the assignment.

neutral · AI labelView post →Kids today don't appreciate that culture peaked in the long 90s, the decade between Better the Devil You Know and Can't Get You Out of My Head / Total Recall and The Mummy Returns when you could watch an Arnie film and suddenly the Best Hamlet Ever would drop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z9I...
neutral · AI labelView post →He was still best in the Mummy Returns, where he was only in the movie for 15 minutes
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Returns (2001) Movie night with friends, we wanted a horror movie but ended up watching this. These still hold up ngl lots of laughs were had. Brendan Fraser is so damn handsome.
positive · AI labelView post →Brendan Fraser immediately went from filming "Monkeybone" to "Bedazzled" to "The Mummy Returns." He really wanted to typecast himself as someone who constantly deals with devilish beings in the underworld, I guess. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...
