Summary: Very Good
Review: PLEASE just because I am 12 it is a GOOD review.I know what you are probably thinking this is another lame review. Well nope! It might be another review but it isn't lame. I would hope that many people would enjoy this because I know I did. The child actor is very good and so are the adults. I would have to say that this one is better than the first. I am not reeally into gorey stuff... The first one was sorta gorey but the second one wasn't at all. I think a lot of people would enjoy this.. and I think people who are rating this badly are just trying to find something wrong with it but there is nothhing so... Well I think this movie deserves 5 stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you like action-packed movies, then you'll like this one
Review: This movie was impressive. I liked how it was still pretty easy to understand when I had never seen the first movie. i thought they could have shown the Scorpion King more but I guess that's why they are making a movie for him. This movie had a lot of characters especially the fact that it had Brendan Fraser go up against two enemies: the Scorpion King and Imhotep. The plot was very well done. The ONE thing that made me not give this review 5 stars was the extremly corny phrases and the fact that after every action scene, the wife would make-out with main character.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good movie; Over-Hyped
Review: This was a pretty good movie. However, it was a bit over-hyped. The Rock's role in it was hyped to be the main character, however, he had about 20 minutes of on-air time in all. GREAT, and I mean GREAT, special effects. Brendan Fraser did a great job, and his "wife" was HOT! This was about as good as the first one ("The Mummy").. As I said, the special effects were great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally the Mummy has come back to Video.
Review: Awesome movie, but was I the only one who wanted that little kid to die? Really it was all his fault, the Kid should of had his head cut off by the Scorpion Kings Pincers or one of the Anubis Army Guys, and What's with Imenhotep? In Love, get the hell outta here, I wanted to see him lay a little smack on the Rock but that never happened, they made the Mummy in the Wussy, but the movie still rocked. BUY THIS MOVIE, it's worth the money, and it's alot better than "Ernest goes to School".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, but lacking
Review: Yes, the first Mummy was great. Rachel Weisz was so hot! But in this version, they make her look older and more motherly, definitely not the hottie she was in part 1. But Brendan Fraser...that guy will always be a stud.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A few simple changes...
Review: I'm sure there are enough reviews already that discuss the variably awesome to pathetic special effects, and the seriously lacking story and characters, so I'll go right to my few points:

1. As a sequal, this makes no sense, there is no coherence or consistency between this movie and the first. Even the basic character types and motivations for the same characters changed drastically between the two films. For example: In the first movie, Imhotep is a super powerful destructive force of nature who causes various plagues, and has a pretty simple goal to destroy the world. In this movie, he is a thoughful, intelligent being with very few powers (and by the way, he has power over the DESERT SANDS, NOT WATER), who wants to steal the power of yet another supernatural being, or something like that, theplot really stinks as I mentioned above.

2. I really hate it when something is hard for one character, but easy for another, if done only for the convenience of the plot. For example: In the first movie Imhotep, who is a priest, has great difficulty in bringing his lost love back to life, and in the end fails. It takes a large number of people performing a complex ritual to bring Imhotep back in this movie. And yet, Alex, who is about 10 years old, is able to bring his mother back to life with a single book in the space of about five minutes. Yeah, right.

3. And most importantly, when is holywood going to learn that not every action movie has to have a huge special effects finale? Case in point: The Scorpion King is set up as a major player, a brutal warrior from the past who fights with cunning and strength. Imhotep is a powerful undead being, and Brendan Fraser is an experienced adventurer. It appears that they are all going to meet in the end and do battle for the ultimate prize. Had this happened, I might have ended up liking the movie. Instead, Imhotep loses his powers for no apparent reason, and ends up trying to win by feigning weakness. And, worst of all, the scorpion king has somehow become this stupid looking, poorly animatedm half-man half-scorpion thing. Not a real blow lands, nothing of interest happens within the scene. This isn't the titanic battle we were promised in the beginning, this is a cheap trick, and I for one felt sorely cheated.

Well, I've said my piece. Feel free to disagree, apparently there are a lot of people out there who liked the movie, though I'd imagine they were primarily entertained by the bright colors and loud noises. It's people like you who cause Hollywood to churn out stinkers like this.
Thanks a lot.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 2nd class movie, but great special effects!
Review: What this movie lacks in plot, it makes up for in the awesome special effects. It was nice to see the return of the original cast. This film moves fast enough to distract you for awhile from all the questions you may think of later regarding the sketchy plot. There wasn't much character depth either. Worth a watch though, just to see the monsters and other graphics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent fun!
Review: This movie has it all. It has fun, suspense, and action. There are the same characters as the original (with a few new ones thrown in). The movie is a lot of fun to see. Anyone who has even the tiniest smidgen of interest in Egypt (or anything related) will want to see this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tripe
Review: Mummy 1 was kind of fun and the special effects were good, but this sequel is pure, ridiculous, tiring tripe. A complete waste of time. I stopped it in the middle and went to bed and only watched the rest of it because I'd already rented it. I don't even give this one star but it won't let me post without one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fantastic special effects, Good entertainment value
Review: If you want a deep story line that is completely believable this is NOT the movie for you. If you want to be entertained and dazzled by some great special effects then don't miss it. After working a high-stress filled day at the office, plop down on the couch and slide this into the VCR and enjoy! Some of the other reviewers state that not much character development exists from the first movie to this one, but I disagree. There is a tatoo that is significant (watch the movie to find out why), as well as some past life regressions that further expand on one character. The recreation of the Scorpion Kings realm was absolutely awesome!. Yes, the story line is a bit far-fetched, but wasn't starwars, ET, Lord of the Rings, and just about every other great film?
