A waste of time and money...

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2008)

This is one of those classic cases in which the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original. Then, when you consider that the original wasn't all that good to start off with, what you are left with is rather little. The story is so preposterous, it isn't even funny any more.
Universal just had to make a sequel for financial reasons, but the filmmakers didn't have any ideas left on how to make one. So they put together whatever came to mind and forged it into a movie hoping that a ton of special effects will make it watchable... It didn't. The result is a mess not even a 5-year old kid will find plausible. This is in my opinion all that 'The Mummy Returns' really is.
