Summary: This movie is better than the first one!
Review: This movie takes the plot to a higher level. If you are a Rock fan go see the movie, but don't expect to have The Rock in ever scene of the movie. This movie is very exciting. Go see it.

Summary: The Mummy Returns Delivers
Review: I've seen The Mummy Returns three times now. It's just plain fun. Anybody who finds fault with the plot, the storyline, character development or special effects, ought to take the lemon out of his/her mouth, suspend disbelief, and learn to enjoy a good action-packed fantasy they way you did when you were a kid!

Summary: Did we see the same movie?
Review: "The Mummy" was a surprise hit - it was sheer fun. This sequel loses the element of surprise, and thus a lot of its steam. The fast-paced action is still there, the special effects are still cheesy fun, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are still adorable, but I always felt I knew what was going to happen before it happened. Despite the fact that it was a short movie, I kept glancing at my watch. And you say they're making another one? Hmmm.

Summary: this mummy moves quickly but does not have strength
Review: Starting off the summer this year is "The Mummy Returns", which offers a semi-good popcorn flick. If it were looked at as a pure popcorn flick, then I would give the film four stars, not three. But I am rating this film as a film in general. "The Mummy Returns" is based around the idea of reincarnation, and without that the story of "the Mummy Returns" would not be possible. It is almost as if they had to find an excuse to bring long dead characters back so that people will already be familiarized with the characters. Steven Sommers wrote the script and directed the film. The script itself had to have extremely small amounts of dialogue for each character and then a description of the CGI image that would follow. There are two things that are being used as tools to fill the theatre seats; the special effects and of course "the Rock". The special effects were supposed to look photo real but ended up looking a little cartoony. ILM worked very hard to bring various egyptian creatures to life, but they just made the deadline for finishing all of the work needed. It is a shame that they did not have the time to fine tune all of their work and I think it would have helped to produce a film that is a little bit better by setting a later release date. "The Mummy Returns" is set around 10 years after the original. Rick(Brenden Frasier) and Evy(Rachel Weisz) are now married and they take their son Alex(Freddie Boath) on their own personal archealogical digs. John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and Oded Fere all reprise the roles that they played in the first film. The Rock plays the scorpion King, an egyptian leader who falls and sells his soul to Anubis for a last chance at taking over Hamunaptra. He barely makes an appearence in this film and his character is being played as a major one on the poster and in various T.V. specials. The army of Anubis fight the maji in a battle invloving thousands of computer generated warriors against the tribe of protectors. It is funny that the enemy is defeated so easily and it almost makes no sense that they could die at all. It is supposed to be the greatest army in the heavens but with a simple slicing off of the head, they are no more than dust. "The Mummy Returns" features some of the same basic ideas concerning special effects that were in the first film which gives a dejavou feel. Now they are shooting "The Scorpion King" which stars the Rock in a role that I don't believe could be the main character in a full length film. The Rock is a good actor as he has proven on the WWF, but it is not him but the character of the scorpion king which is one dimensional and hardly worth any future consideration. There are an incredible amount of hard to believe subplots in "The Mummy Returns" and when describing the change in the character of Evy from the original to the sequel, one can compare her to the change that Linda Hamilton had taken between both "Terminator" films. It may be summer, but that doesn't mean that our standard for good films should be lowered. If you want to see a quality film concerning the mummy rent the original or the old Boris Carlof one.

Summary: NO TITLE
Review: I think "The Mummy Returns" is a better than "The Mummy". It has a bit of everything."The Mummy" had only action & a bit of romance."The Mummy Returns" has action, special effects, some romance, and a twist of comedy.But I have to say to watch the first one or you won't understand anything!

Summary: I HOPE THE MUMMY RETURNS AGAIN!!!
Review: This is not just the average sequel. This sequel is better then the first. This is possibly the best sequel since Jaws II! The plot is excellent. The Scorpion King sells his soul to get a huge army of mummy creatures from Anubus. He is then taken by anubus back with him. The bracelet is found by the now married couple, Rick and Evelin, who have a son named Alex. That is all I will tell you about in the beginning.There are about 5 times more good one-liners in this movie then the first. Alex and Jonathan mainly keep the comic relief. Though Rick and evelin have a few of there own. Great script altogether! Nonstop action! This is the best Action movie of this year probably. One scene, after another of great and realistic combat. It is an awesome movie for action. This movie has more action then Indiana Jones, and that is a lot! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! The Special Effects in this movie are stunning! I have never in my life scene so much special effects, and called them as good as these. The water scene where Imhotep rises the water is cool. The anubus warriors who attack the Black robed warriors are great. The Special Effects are the best in this movie. The characters, (all of them), played their parts spectaculary! This is a superb movie if you want acting as well. The script was excellent, and the lines were right in time. This is not a cheesey, bad acting movie. These acters know how to act. Brendan Fraser in particular did an excellent job, but all of them were good. In closing, this movie is worth seeing, and when it comes out on video, I am buying it. You should see it if you haven't, but if you haven't seen the first one, make sure you see it first or you won't understand it. GREAT MOVIE!!!

Summary: lazy and rushed
Review: i'm suprised at some of the glowing reviews this movie has been getting here. i was very disappointed. the 1st mummy film was a suprise hit, good natured with some great effects. It's obvious watching this sequel that the movie studio wanted a repeat hit whatever the product turned out like. Although this kind of popcorn movie requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief the writers require you to turn off your brain so much you may fall into a coma. plot holes come thick and fast, the dialogue become banal in the extreme. When a funny one line is needed we get a 'well done' or 'great' from the actors. Brendan Fraser spends the whole film with the same contorted grimace stuck to his face. The acting in places is downright shoddy. The kid character some becomes tiring and i was willing his death at the end. The effects are suprisingly poor in places. the final showdown is a damp squib with the scorpion king resembling computer effects from the 80's. If you require absolutley no coherence or quality to your films then you may get a kick out of the frenetic pace.
