Summary: Action Galore
Review: Ok, ok so it's not as good as the first one but if you like action & suspense then you'll like the mummy returns. Don't try to compare it to the original just watch it for what it is. We all know you can't make a sequel that compares to the original. So to all you nay sayers of this movie i say take a second look. Also this movie fills in some gaps from the 1st one. Sit back & enjoy the ride.

Summary: Two Mummys?
Review: This was a very fast paced, exciting movie. Although I liked the first one better, this second mummy movie was pretty good. I liked the story line. All the actors were wonderful. I think you would enjoy this one. Go ahead and see for yourself!

Summary: It was so bad I couldn't decide if I liked it or...nevermind
Review: This movie is a complete waste of time. Twenty minutes into it, I knew I wouldn't like it, but I fought to stay awake and actually sat through it, thinking it would get better.Boy, was I wrong! The special effects were nothing to scream about. In fact, they only got worse toward the end. The acting was pathetic, and apparently the actors spoke in a different language to cover it up. And what was with that little kid? No one I know can stay that calm when they're close to being murdered about 50 million times. Speaking of which, there was waaaaaay too much action in the movie, none of which kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters were so stupid, I was dissappointed when they ALL stayed alive at the end of the movie. Ugh, don't waste your life on this Egyptian Helium Blimp-wreck of a film. Do something constructive with 2 hours of your life.

Summary: A Little Too Wrapped Up in Speical Effects
Review: When making a sequel, one should concentrate on new plot twists, yet stay true to the original story. This movie, though not bad, is a little too repetitive and lacks a real interesting plot. Brendan Fraser, as usual, has an overall decent performance, but his character, like before, is a little too heroic and it is too hard to enjoy his performance in this type of role. The introduction of the Scorpion King is almost a complete waste of film. His debut is not much of anything. He plays a total of about 5 collective live action minutes, proving that this movie is too concerned with impressing its viewers with computer graphics and not with acting. Overall this is a good movie. It is action packed and full of eye popping special effects. It really doesn't touch on the original movie's ideas, but tries to add something new. Its direction is kind of confusing, and the viewer will notice many likenesses to other movie ideas. The DVD has a few special features that, like all movies with animation, are filled with the how-they-done-its of computer animation. If you already own "The Mummy," this movie is a nice addition, but it is not really worth owning by itself. Hopefully the creators know when to quit and will not "curse" us with another Mummy film after this. The story has now been played to death and should be laid to rest.....

Summary: Horrible SEQUEL!!!
Review: This sequel is horrible and not worth your money, definetly not as good as the The Mummy(1999)Why? Firstly because of some new annoying characters like Alex.The movie would have been better if it were just the characters from the original (Rick O'Conell,Evelyn,Johnathan,etc.).Second, now the main villain isn't Imhotep(AKA The Mummy) anymore. It's the Scorpion King,played in a cameo role by The Rock.Third, the effects are a bit cheesy, like the scene with the Scorpion King brought back to life in cheap computer effects.The first film had much better effects. Fourth, the actind is not all that good especially by Freddie Boath and the guy that swordfights with ardeth bay and tries to kill Alex.Izzy is a stupid character and saves the day,too.And last,the atmosphere and places shown in the movie aren't that cool, and the action and humor is'nt great. Watch the first instead of this garbage ball.

Summary: Tediously unoriginal
Review: This might be entertaining for a younger generation, but anyone familiar with the Indiana Jones trilogy will find this film derivative to the point of absurdity. The tongue-in-cheek Spielberg homage of the first film here collapses into outright plagiarism, plundering everything from car chases to shot setups, and almost all of Act 3. The whole thing feels hastily written and produced, with a nice story idea too quickly shunted aside to make way for special effects that are surprisingly below par - all no doubt driven by an obsessive desire to get this film to market before the euphoria induced by its predecessor wore off. Good business logic, but the result is a bad film. So don't waste your time and money. Buy the Indiana Jones trilogy on VHS instead. It's all be done before, and done better.

Summary: The Rock
Review: 5,000 years ago, a bad dude known as the Scopian King, played by the WWE (Get the "F" Out) Superstar, The Rock, wanted to rule the known world. But, he was betrayed by a certain god. We only get to see The Rock for about four minutes.
The Year of the Scopian has come. The Scorpian King shall raise again with the armies of the underworld to take over the world. But, The Mummy gets back to life and wants to rule the Earth with the armies of the underworld. The Mummy is the only guy tough enough to take out the Scorpain King.

Summary: A Waste
Review: Attention!! If you go to a movie store with one goal in mind, that being to waste money and time on renting and watching a film, you should feel drawn to The Mummy Returns.
Don't get me wrong - I loved The Mummy. It's one of my favorites, and that is simply why I rented The Mummy Returns. The first movie was somewhat believable, as it contained history, humor, and realism. The sequel was so far-fetched, I was tempted to shut it off halfway through. Evie's character was demolished in the sequel - in the Mummy, she is a somewhat clumsy, bright, pleasant person. She would rather find ways around fighting than fight. In the sequel, they have changed her into some kind of wannabe black belt that no more needs her handsome husband to protect her. The explanation of Rick's mysterious tattoo is meaningless, and I was especially bored with the whole Evie-is-actually-the-pharoah's-daughter-in-another-life thing.
In a brief summary, the movie is far-fetched, and you wouldn't know it was on a big budget as every special effect appears to be so fake.

Summary: The Rock is a Genius
Review: Even though The Rock only appears in the movie for about three minutes, his role is very important to the story. As the Scorpion King, The Rock is a leader of the people turned bad. Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and his wife (Rachel Weisz) are back for a new adventure along with their nine-year-old son Alex (an annoying little rascal). Why spend your money to watch them though? It's all about the WWE star. The plot is thin reviving Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), the mummy from the first film, to capture the Scorpion King's bracelet which will control mysterious Egyptian soldiers who merely look like dogs with staffs and hoods. Oh yes, if it wasn't for The Rock, none of this would have ever happened. The Rock's face is funny and he yells in a strange language. It was far out! Talk about the birth of a new genius. He was the lone survivor after a huge battle (characteristic of a genius) and he destroyed many people. It was an honor to watch "The People's Champion" kick some bootay outside of the ring. Please! Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Triple H are nothing compared to The Rock. The "People's Eyebrow" was missing in action, but thank you to the wizards who made "The Scorpion King". The three minutes of The Rock is the whole movie and he made it worthwhile. Oh yes. Good job Stephen Sommers and cast, but I praise The Rock for being a new deity.
