レビュー (Amazon)
Having begun life as a modest 1932 horror vehicle for the great Boris Karloff,The Mummy franchise went on to encompass a whole cycle of classic Universal fright flicks and, most recently, a big-budget, if equally popcorn-friendly CGI reincarnation. What with the success of Gladiator, The Mummy Returns also expanded its scope to include The Rock's Scorpion King and his legions, giving the saga a distinct sword-'n'-sandal epic sweep in the bargain. Alan Silvestri's music echoes those concerns in a score that's one part galloping 1940s throwback, a dash of Stravinsky-lite and heavy on the Zimmer-esque Sturm und Drang. It's a far cry from Silvestri's mostly comedic canon, and a radical departure from The Mexican, its breezy, tongue-in-cheek predecessor. And if the sheer scale of the score's blazing brass, thundering tympani, crashing cymbals and soaring choirs effectively disguise its paucity of memorable melodies and substance, they perfectly echo the thrill-ride intentions of the film itself. Uber-producer Glen Ballard also contributes the obligatory pop end-title song, "Forever May Not Be Long Enough", a darkly urgent little ditty with suitably exotic production flourishes. --Jerry McCulley
