If you loved Van Helsing, try The Mummy Returns
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Sommers, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to Van Helsing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Mummy Returns is
Egyptian desert, scorching sun, a dusty medallion. A family uncovers the Bracelet of Anubis, a resurrected mummy claims it. Sommers revisits familiar ground with louder action.
