Summary: What a disappointment...
Review: The 1999 version of THE MUMMY was spectacular. So when this movie came out, I had high hopes for it. But this was a waste of my time! The film makers did a rather stupid thing of bringing ALL of the characters back for this movie. That was a BIG mistake! They also tried to make this one a little more funny. It just didnt't work out. But despite all the bad things I've said about it, there are some good things. Great suspense and most of the action was cool. But the ending fight scene with Brendan Fraser and The Rock went on forever. Rent this one first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better, Much Better than the original.
Review: This is not Citizen Kane Folks, It the Mummy for Pete's sake. If you have ever seen the original, you will know exactly what you are getting yourself into with the sequel. A sequel in my opinion that is much better than the first film because it at least keeps you on the edged of your seat from the beginning to the end. The acting is very top notch, and the Special Effects are just breathtaking to watch. Brendan Fraser is Great, and so is Arnold Vosloo and John Hannah but the Real achievement in this film Is Rachel Weisz who literally steals the movie from every body with her performance. The fight scene with her and Patricia Velasquez is a sight to behold. If you want to ponder the fate of movie making, and it's short comings, don't see this movie. If you want to have a good time with characters you care for and villains you want to see defeated, See this movie, it's worth a place in your DVD Collection. It's that good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A disgrace to the original
Review: I'm glad I didn't buy this, I was smart enough to watch at my friends.

Overreliance on SFX (which is surprizingly shabby),
no real logic to what happens, the ominous mummy becoming
just an ... Don't buy this, don't watch this. You'd
be sorry. Just watch the first one again.

I hope "The Scorpion King" is better, but after this...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie of the Year!
Review: This movie pulled through where most do not. I am always dissapointed when I go to the theatres by the lack of plot twists, music choreography and spiecial effects. Very few movies bring all these things to the screen, but this one did! A lot of action and beatiful sceanery also make this movie one of the best I've ever seen. The only thing bad about this movie is that if you compare other movies to it, everything else comes up extremly short.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: High in action goodness...low in substance.
Review: I personally enjoyed this movie. It wasn't the greatest movie I have ever seen and it wasn't as good as the first movie but I did find it very entertaining. I do agree with the statement that all the special effects were overkill...they cluttered the movie up way too much and I found it difficult to follow the story because of it. Too much of a good thing...what ever happened to leaving something to the imagination or affecting the viewer psychologically? Still, the adventure was there, most of the characters were likable, and some of the special effects really did the trick. Those little guys running around in the jungle were pretty freaky. Some of the effects seemed a bit outdated however. Like when the Scorpion King shows up in the end...the special effects looked so 1996. Not a long time, true, but as far as new technology in computer animation goes that's like 30 years ago. He looked so fake and computerized and generally left me unimpressed, to say the least. But this is a pretty good movie if you are just looking for entertainment...I would recommend renting it before you bought it though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty good but....
Review: I thought it was a pretty good movie but there were somethings I didn't like about it. For instance some of the graphics were kind of cheesy but, overall I thought it was a good movie

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun bit of eye candy
Review: As far as sequels go, no, it does not have the depth of the original. I would actually place the first movie on par with the Indiana Jones movies. However, the sequel does contain all of the fun and excitement of the original. Sit back and relax. In these troubled times, this movie is exactly the kind of escapist fun that we need. It has characters we care about, tons of laughs (the pygmies towards the end just about made me fall out of my seat with laughter), and really spectacular special effects. Turn your brain off, relax, and enjoy the ride! More of a renter than a keeper, unless you're a die-hard fan of the first movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WOW! that was my fav movie
Review: I loved The Mummy Returns that is now my fav movie.

I'll start with the charactors , Rick O'Connal (Brenden Fraser)is really cool for a dad and nothing reallys scares him. Evee O'connal (Rachel Weisz) has growen up from the last movie (The Mummy) and gets involved in mega cool catfights this time. Jonathen (John Hannah) is in it and same with the return of Ardeth Bay (Oded Feir). Of corce Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) is back looking better and WWF wresteler The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) is the new villan The Scorpion King. Finally a new main charactor Alex O'Connal(Freddie Boath) who is even smarter than Rick & Evee and he is the son of them but he's really COOL.

This movie starts of really quikly with action and it never stops throuh the movie with only a little bit of rest. In this movie we travel alot to differnt locations like Londen , Egypt , Ciaro , Karnak , Abu Simbel , Philie and even a HUGE and AMAZING oasis.

the reason this movie only got 4 stars is because of the endind witch is a little far fetched but still exciting.

if u like movies with speical affects and sounds this is a great movie for you then and if you like Action , Adventure , Romance and susspens you hav to see this movie.

hopefully they will start a seiries of it must go bye.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thrilling, Outstanding Sequel
Review: Forget about any negative reviews of "The Mummy Returns", this sequel has more action, more special effects, more characters than the original. Although The Rock's appearance as The Scorpion King was exceedingly over-hyped, after the opening few minute intro, he only appears as an FX at the end of the movie, he and the rest of the diverse characters add depth and loads of fun. The real star of the flick is Oded Fehr as the fearless desert nomad Ardeth Bay. The final battle scene between his desert warriors and the evil Anubis creatures is the high point of the movie. Rachel Weisz' character Evie Carnahan takes a new dimension as she battles the returning Egyptian princess Anuck-Sun-Amoon played by Patricia Velasquez. As with the first installment, the action goes from Indiana Jones-type situation to situation until the final confrontation between O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), The Mummy - Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) and The Scorpion King. Sure their are some unrealistic points to this movie, but when talking about resurrected Egyptian mummies and ancient gods, what exactly do you expect? This is fun exciting action.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a great movie with so much action. I think it is just as good as the first, even better. It has new characters and a cool new villian.
