Summary: Seems Familiar But Still Fun
Review: I couldn't help but think of Indian Jones or The Shadow while watching the Mummy. I like the time period but for some reason the setting seemed secondary and not that important. Aside from the setting being in the thirties there are several scenes that invoke Indiana Jones, particuliarly the scene where columns within a tomb domino around the room. The little boy reminded me a lot of Short Round. This isn't a criticism though. I wouldn't put this into the same class as the Raiders of the Lost Ark but it is none the less an entertaining summer film.

I hadn't seen the first Mummy before seeing the sequel, but this didn't affect my enjoyment any. I was a little confused on which character was which but as there is very little characterization it isn't really that important. I have since seen The Mummy and found it slightly better than the sequel. Brendan Frasier is funnier in the first one. The main source of humor in the Mummy Returns comes mainly from Rachel Weisz's brother and the little boy (the two main characters' son). I guess it should tell you something about characterization that I can't remember any of the characters' names.

As for the special effects they are spectacular to see but no better than the CGI in any other movie of the last two years. Imohetep and the Scorpion King look like computer generated characters. It was a little distracting but it helps to think of it as mix of live action and animation. Just remember it's not suppose to be real.

I don't usually get excited by this kind of film anymore but I thought this was an enjoyable movie, there wasn't a lot of depth to it but there were good fight scenes, stunts and special effects and it kept me entertained for a few hours.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: A great film for the whole family. Was at first surprised to see some many young kids there on opening day, but after watching the film agreed that it was definetly okay for the whole family. Packed with constant action I was riveted to my seat.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hard To Match Up To It's Elder, But Still Great!
Review: After the first Mummy movie, it was no doubt that they were given the "ok" to go for the sequel, and it doesn't let down, for me. I loved the first one. It is one of my favorite movies of all time, and it was known that it was going to be hard to make a better movie out of the sequal that the first.

But it doesn't let down. The action is taken down a notch in "The Mummy Returns". But the action that we do see, it's great. Rick O' Connell must save his family from being destroyed by The Mummy. What lacks in this movie is the fact that we don't get to see The Mummy as much as alot of people would have liked.

But still a great film, IMO. And I will surely be getting the DVD when it comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Review of The Mummy Returns
Review: I thought it was a great movie ,one of my favorites now.I thought it was a great idea to have The Rock play the Scorpian King.It was jam packed with action!I think that the cast and crew did a great job!I loved how it was played and how it was so exiting.The special effecs and I liked that it was placed in old teples and ruins of Egipt.It was a great movie for me to see because I have really liked all the things that where in the movie since I can remember.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pointless, tiresome sequel
Review: I greatly enjoyed the first "Mummy" film back in 1999, which I found original and entertaining.The "Mummy Returns" however is in my opinion ..., predictible and nauseating.Some of the characters,especially the Pilot and the Kid are excrutiatingly irritating.John Hannah,s character has also been severly dumbed down too much. Some of the special effects were very impressive,but this does not compensate for the lacklustere plot and weak characterisation. Please, Plesae dont make "Mummy 3"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an extraordinary adventure...
Review: The whole movie makes u feel riding on a rollercoaster.I had watched the first one more than once and this one seems to be like it.The Mummy's plot was better but this one's effects are the greatest.I strongly recommend to everyone who likes action movies...

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: WOW
Review: It was a good movie. As I said in my review for The Mummy, movies are for ENTERTAINMENT. If you want to kick back and put your feet up, go see this movie.

And of course Brendan Fraser, Arnold Vosloo and Oded Fehr helped make the movie that much more better.

I think I might have to go see this one a couple of more times at the theater just to get my fill of eye candy.

Again the special effects were at times, noticeably effects, but it got the idea across to the movie-goer.

If you saw the first one then you will get the jokes that were made, if you didn't see the first one, shame on you, but you won't get lost with the second.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding
Review: If you like the 1st one you will like this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If you didn't like the first one you will hate this one
Review: I took my 13-year-old son and a friend of his to see this movie. I didn't like the first Brendan Fraser Mummy movie but somehow I thought this would be better. It's actually really tedious and BORING. Hard to sit through. The kids loved it, but for me it was just a lot of uninteresting cliches piled on each other - pointless, excessive plot elements, like, if one sacred and secret object is needed to accomplish some collosal sacred goal then let's have 4 different sacred objects. Like, um, WHO CARES?
