"Mummy Returns - Rants"

rant number 1)
How did the people in the first battle work out who was on whos side? Didn't they get confused?

rant number 2)
when the Rock's side lost how come some were still alive shouldn't they have been killed?

rant number 3)
they are seen torching scarabs with flamethrowers - were these invented then because I thought they were made for world war 2

rant number 4)
Where were the crocodiles in the river Nile?

rant number 5)
Why was Jonathan so good with a rifle and didn't this ruin the fun for all the bad guys.. proof that sniper rifles ruin everyones fun.

rant number 6)
The Mummy Returns uses a quality "Spear Time" technology. This takes you to the speed of spears :) (cough bullet time)

rant number 7)
The battle at the end involved the mummy, Fraser and the Rock. Why when the Rock entered the battle arena didn't he shout "CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!" and why didn't Triple H follow.. I thought he got involved in all of the Rock's fights. And where were the clotheslines and jumps from the turnpickle?

rant number 8)
Great film - I recommend seeing it.

Irony.

I like it.

America. We are the greatest nation on earth...er..except for having the highest rate of illiteracy in the developed world.

And a hairless Ape as the leader.

Morons.
Absolute morons.

(Any Americans are welcome to try and defend themselves without the use of chemical weapons)

PLEEZZ!!! Don`t mock this great nation that saves the world countless times over!!!

I watched it in The States, and the audience stood and applauded at Pullman's speech before they attacked.

It was at this point that I lost faith in mainstream Hollywood and the mentality of the supposed greatest nation on earth.

I'm not allowed to the cinema that often unless I'm in restraints, a la Hannibal.

However, stick some subtitles in and make it about the loss of humanity or something and I'll love it.

Goatboy you once told me you were into this stuff. ;-)

I wont repeat my bile and hatred for this stink-loaf of a movie.

I went because the Missus thinks The Rock is...a fine specimen of maleness. (hey, I dont get it either)

But I would rather watch old people make out for an hour than watch ANYTHING like this again.

Dreadful, dreadful tosh.

No, sorry... just... no.

That film was the pits. I was forced to go and see it, and it made me cringe all the way through. Everything from the cheap computer animations to the cheesey little kid and his cocky one-liners.

I'll tell you what made me laugh though. The Rock. Just seeing him there made me chuckle and I kept expecting him to come out with one of his catchphrases at any minute; he just seemed so out of place, with that 'I'm-big-dumb-angry' expression on his face, heh.

But I guess it's harmless enough, I just shouldn't have gone to see it if I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it ;P
