Like Indiana Jones, Only More Special Effects and Less Intelligence

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2001)

The Mummy Returns was much better than I anticipated. I was expecting this film to be a let down, mainly because it looked like a simple rehashing of the first film, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was much more exciting and entertaining than the first Mummy. However it does mainly rely on special effects and action to further the story line rather than actual plot. But then again so did the first Mummy. Another reason why it was so appealing was because it didn't really take it self seriously, and that being said nobody who goes to see the film should judge it that way. Its just a fun action flick, think of it like that and you won't be disappointed.
