better than the first one(very high praise)

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2007)

if it's possible,this sequel to "The Mummy"i s even better than the original.it's just as fun and exciting,but i liked the story better.i really liked the way the filmmakers developed the characters and gave them more to do.i also liked the direction the story took.the humour is still there,and Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return in their original roles.they are a great screen couple.John Hannah also returns in his role as Evie's(Weisz) Brother.the visual effects are just as good,maybe better.the bad guys are more dangerous than in the first outing.again,realism is not of the utmost importance in this movie,nor should it be.if it were,this would be one boring picture.for me,"The Mummy Returns" is a strong 9/10
