Rating:
Summary: Fantastic, and just plain great.
Review: This is one heck of a movie. It has everything, Action, adventure, romance, and it's better than the first one. All the actors were great, and The Special effects were ten times better than the last one. If you like to be entertain, and have a very good time; Get this film. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Better than the original
Review: The Mummy Returns, in my opinion, actually topped the original story. Imhotep's character, I felt, was given much more depth. While he still trys to take over the world, he isn't the embodiment of pure evil that he is in the first movie. While it worked once, it probably couldn't have worked a second time. The legend of the Scorpion King works, but I had to admit that the way he was reincarnated was a little on the cheesy side. Giving Evy more action in this one also helped, since it didn't leave Rick and Ardeth doing all the work. All the humor of the original movie is here, along with some surprises. That darn stork is still giving our heroes problems. The DVD collector's edition doesn't match the Ultimate Mummy in features, but the outtake reel is pretty funny. (Although there had to be more screw-ups than we saw.) The on-location featurette seemed to repeat some of the stuff from the Ultimate Mummy, but was good for those who haven't gotten a hold of that one. All in all, great popcorn movie. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Summary: Somewhat disappointed
Review: Short and sweet....it's a fast-paced adventure with plenty of somewhat cool effects but it doesn't come close to "The Mummy".

Rating:
Summary: Absolute Rush
Review: If you want to forget your worries for a while and be totally entertained, this is it! The Mummy Returns is every bit entertaining as The Mummy. This is not a movie with a great plot or extreme suspense, but is an absolute rush with plenty of action and humor. The special effects are awesome and probably the best I have ever seen. When I walked out of the movie I truly felt I had been entertained. Brendan Fraser and the entire cast have done an outstanding job. Definitely a movie to own.

Summary: The Mummy Returns
Review: I have to agree with most customer reviews, this is a popcorn movie and a damn good one. It's clear the producers put a lot of time and expense into making this the biggest "Mummy" movie to date and it was fun to see all the original actors assemble again for the sequel. I have to agree that the ending sequence with the "Rock" was cheesy at best and could have been eliminated. The dvd is superb and gives your channels a great workout, especially in the in the rear and subwoofer channels. The image is sharp and clear, near reference quality but the extras for the most part are pure marketing on the part of Universal. The first film had better extras although you'll find many of the same in this one as well, eg: director commentary and cgi demonstrations. Rent it or buy it. You'll love it so long as you (a) haven't bought into the movie critics negative reviews beforehand and (2) you're watching it simply for the fun of it. Isn't that what most films are all about...pure escapist entertainment? In these pressing times, we need more like them! Enjoy!

Summary: The Best Sequel Since The Mummy!
Review: This is probably the best sequel after it's predecessor. It has two times the effect, two times the laughter and two times the action. And this movie certainly live up to it's name. I must say that this movie is a must for those who can't get over the Mummy from the first movie. Brendan Fraser reprises his role as the good old Rick O'Connell, handsome as ever, and Rachel Weisz as the feisty librarian and wife to Rick, more graceful and beautufulful as ever. Not a bad entrance by The Rock either. This movie is a best-seller in Singapore on DVD! So, I'm sure it would be a big hit over there, too. Two thumbs up! Great movie with great special effects, penned by a great storyline! For those movie buffs who wants to "test" their home theaters on DVD and haven't get over the horror-adventure movies, this is one hell of a movie NOT to be miss!

Summary: One of the best sequels ever made.
Review: This Film And Shriek were the ONLY Great films we had this summer, and were the only films in general that delivered what it promise. The Mummy Returns is a super charge spectacular that surpasses the original In every way. The acting is great, and the girls are beautiful (Rachel Weisz is HOT). The Special Effects are amazing, and the action is fantastic. It's probably one of the best sequels ever made, and it's definitely one DVD to own. If you are a dumb sad sack that has no sense of adventure, stay away from this film. If you like to have the time of your life, see this movie, it does deliver.

Summary: SO VERY STUPID & CGI SATURATED!!!
Review: First off, did all you people see the same stupid & overblown movie I saw? How can any of you say this film is even entertaining to a bus full of cretins? The computer graphics are so overblown that the movie may as well have been a cartoon! Terrible acting, awful & predictable plot, lousy special effects! Too much! A flying pirate ship? Let's leave the supernatural to the mummies & the realistic to the humans. I really & truly can't understand what anyone would like about this idiotic waste of time. Trust me & ignore every other review!

Summary: A review of the DVD, NOT the film
Review: I loved Mummy Returns, but PLEASE, DON'T buy this DVD. Wait for the "Ultimate Edition," there will surely be one!! They left out a ton of stuff on this DVD so they could save things for the Ultimate Edition and as usual milk us of our money. Just rent it for the time being and buy the Ultimate Edition when it comes out!!

Summary: Eagerly anticipated this, but found I was disappointed
Review: What bothered me the most about this movie was the lack of plot. I know it hinges a bit on sci-fi, but not only was it hard to follow, it was not very believable.
Character development was definitely left by the wayside in the director's quest to dazzle us with special effects and explosive scenes.
Rachel Weisz' character was so far removed from her first appearance in The Mummy that I found a hard time believing it. Gone was the slightly ditzy Evie of before, and I found myself wishing to see a bit of it here and there in the second offering.
But their son Alex was a delight. I loved his character.
I think the director could have made this into a lot better movie by writing a better plot, fleshing out the characters better, and adding more believability to the entire thing.
It's worth watching, but I have to agree, if you've seen the first one, this one will not meet your expectations. The first one was by far better.
