Which Mummy movie did you like more and why?

[ewlyn]

Personally, I still prefer the original over the second one. I think this is mainly because I missed the bantar in the second film. Too much running around and not enough talking. Also, I miss Benny. Hate to admit it, but I miss him.

Not to say I didn't love the second one. But I love the original just that wee bit more, you know?

I have to say I like Mummy Returns best. It's purely glandular on my part

Ardeth Bey has a bigger part in the second movie :naughty:

They were both great movies, action and comedy wise. I do like that Anuk-Su-Namun's character is really brought back in this one, and I adore Alex! He's just such a cutie!!

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? LOL

I just posted information on the prequel... if you're interested.

You love Ardeth!

i liked the mummy returns better.
but the mummy was kewl

 

[ewlyn]

*gasp* I'm being outnumbered! Nooo!

Seriously though... I'm curious to know what it is about the second one which everyone likes more? Anyone care to comment?

 

[HeyLynny]

Originals rule!

I tend to like the originals best! You get to see how they set the stage for everything that comes later.

 

[ewlyn]

I agree.

Although the second movie was one of the best sequals I've seen... now just to wait and see what the 3rd one is like...

"I hate Mummies"

I love the scene In Mummy II where Brendan Fraser says "I hate Mummies!" I laughed about that long after I left the theatre.

 

[ewlyn]

I was laughing for days to "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" Just thinking about it cracks me up. TMR had some pretty funny scenes.

 

[HeyLynny]

Are we there yet?

Your right...that scene was hysterical too! That's just what a kid would do! And he did such a great acting job.

 

[ewlyn]

He was really good. I'm so tired of kids in films which act like adults. When I first found out he would be in it I was worried he would be too cute. But I loved him. He was a great addition to the film.

The Mummy Returns is the best film i have ever seen. i thought the first one was pretty amazing, but this film just tops it.

I liked the past scenes in the mummy returns, especially the fight scene between anak' su namun and nefertiri

so my vote would have to be Mummy Returns

not to say I didn't love the first one 'cause I did

 

[ewlyn]

The reincarnation scenes were cool... but I still like The Mummy more. *g*

 

[OzScaper]

hehe

I know what you mean

Both films were incredibly cool.
The first one was the original. Liked the story, good characters, great special effects.
The 2nd have a lot more content and greater ties to acient egypt (past lives n' such).

Still, I voted for the first one.

 

[Lonewolf89]

I can't chose!! The first one was more historically correct, [if a movie can be historically correct] and I liked the premiss. The second one had more of Jonathan, Ardeth and the introduction of the kid. It also had more action. Overall they tie.

I actually thought it had less Jonathan. He was overshadowed by the kid.
John Hannah is great, he can do great comedy. (Shame I can't say the same for Donna Air - the woman he has at Rik/Evie's house at the start! )

 

[Chilly]

[tokyogirl]
