Rating:
Summary: Nothing compared to the original but still good
Review: THE MUMMY RETURNS: ***1/2.
Ten Years after Rick O'Conell and Evy fighted against Imothep, they are happilly married and with a children who has both merits from his parents, one day they discover that 1932 is the year of the scorpion and he would resurrect, but then the problem now is that Imothep was resurrected and he wants to kill the Scorpion King and he has kidnapped the O'Conell's child because he has the bracelet of Anubis, well that's the plot is a very good plot, but confusing, i walked into the theater not expecting great things, but the first battle scene was really cool, and then the things gotted better, but it dosen't have the sensation that the first one had,the perfomances by all the actors are great, but the problem with the film is that is too fantasious, but is just a movie, who cares!, and it dosen't have the big stupid and ugly stuff that you saw on "Battlefield Earth", here is my in depth review.
PLOT:***, Good but confusing.
STORYLINE:**1/2, Too many twists and confusing, but is still good.
SCREENPLAY:***, it's well written no stupid dialouge or stuff.
ACTING: *****, all the actors were excellent, specially Oded Fehr.
INTELLIGENCE:**1/2, well as i told is a bit too fantasious.
But i am not the kind of person who spends is time reviewing script flaws, is wheter i liked the movie or not, and yeah i did like it, but it dosen't have the new feeling and the cleverness of the first one, and there is no sense of [horror] at all through the film, and when one of the character's died, that kind of death was just lame, they could have done it more heroically, but i still liked this film, but i will see the first one more times than this one.

Summary: Here is a reality check¿. It¿s only a movie.
Review: Judging by some of the really ridiculous reviews written on this board, I could honestly say that they are good deal of people who should be put into mental intuitions. It's a Fantasy movie for heaven sake; nothing in the film is surpose to be real. Only an extremely uptight people would find any fault in this film. It's a popcorn movie, nothing more, nothing less, and if you want reality in a movie like this then you have serious mental problems. Take it for what it is and enjoy. It's really a great movie once you can get pass your ego, and take it for what it truly was made to be. FUN.

Summary: Ugh. Should be Zero Stars
Review: The title of the review says it all. This was the worst movie of the year, and one of the few times I ever wished I had walked out of the theater early. Special effects cannot make up for a thin, unbelievable plot. If you are going to set a movie in the real world, nearly a century ago, try and stick with historically accurate props and storylines. A rocket powered blimp just doesn't cut it.

Summary: I must have missed something
Review: As someone who enjoy Saturday matinee type movies, I thought the Mummy Returns would be great, but it was so-so. When was the last time you saw someone die of a stab wound to the abdomen, and show NOT ONE TRACE OF BLOOD!!?? The part of the son had the same effect as in Temple of Doom-- nearly ruined the film for adults. I'd wait for it on TV in a few months.

Summary: Would be better without Brendan
Review: Great idea for a story, it is also well told. Neat special effects really add to its fun factor. Only two complaints that are big enough to keep it out of my DVD collection. #1, There is a very cheesy fight seen with "The Rock"'s head morphed onto the body a giant scorpion; can anybody say "Clash of the Titans"? #2 While I think Brendan Fraser does a great job with comedies like "Airheads" & "Blast from the Past", he is no Harrison Ford and makes for way-to-young and kind of wimpy Indiana Jones.

Rating:
Summary: Quite good for a sequel.
Review: Let's face it, all sequels suck. They are only a small few that really cut it as good follow up, and The Mummy Returns is One of them. The Whole Cast is back in a rip roaring spectacle than even out does the original in many ways and still manages to give thrill and laughter a long the way. A great Film Deserves a great sequel, and this is it.

Summary: Could watch it over and over!!
Review: The Mummy Reutrns...One of the very FEW sequels I can watch over and over again. It's not as funny as the first one and Johnathon should have played a bigger role, but other than that, It was a quality movie and worth seeing.

Rating:
Summary: Action, adventure, laughs and special effects galore
Review: What can I say? Great story, interesting characters, mysterious Egyptian myths and legends combine in this picture. The story is an old one, and the film relies heavily on computer generated images. As a sequel, the story grows a bit thin in places, but it's all about adventure and fun rather than great acting depth. The DVD is loaded with extras and is a worthy addition to your collection.

Summary: Just Another Sad Sequel
Review: I was really suprised at the sheer entertainment value of the first Mummy to the extent that I bought the DVD. When the sequel arrived I went to see it too - but I was to be dissapointed.
Brendan Fraser is not known for his elegant roles, and the first Mummy was probably the only decent role he has ever played. In The Mummy Returns he is back in familiar territory (George of the Jungle type junk). I suppose you can't blame the actors for chasing a paycheck but this movie does little to endear them to one. John Hanna is pure slapstick, and the introduction of the kid completes the nauseating circus. All thats missing is the cliched dog! You don't expect too much historically correct information in a movie like this but that said it is a good opportunity to familiarize people with ancient Egypt - instead all the gods and places are mixed up - pronounced incorrectly and adapted to suit the moment. Basically, as with most sequels, this movie should never have been made - and it seems that it was done 'on the fly'. There is no real story and therefore no real ending.
There probably is potential for a sequel to the Mummy - but this is certainly not it. Ignore it! Play dead!

Summary: Thourough enjoyment
Review: I personally don't give a hoot what critics to the negative have to say. I enjoyed the movie because it was just simply fun. It is so rare to find a movie showing love, concern for family and friends, and no explicit language or sex.
How can one not like the new talent of Oded Fehr, he is just great in this movie and I want to see more of him. I too was not impressed by the "rock" simply because they gave him too much credit, but it pulled in the kids and "face it" the movie did a huge business. For pure enjoyment, just watch it and have fun and don't be so critical.
