Silly

Rating: 1/10 (25 April 2004)

The first film was fun. It wasn't necessarily the most original as far as narrative is concerned....and the acting wasn't anything more than ok....but it served its purpose as an entertaining adventure flick that I have watched a few times and still find enjoyable.
The sequel however, was absolutely dreadful! The story was very poor. One of the main characters personalities had changed entirely, and I couldn't wait to see the credits roll. I was really disappointed having enjoyed the first film so much. I wish now I hadn't been sucked in by all the hype before it came out, then I might never have had to waste those precious hours of my life when I could have been doing something more useful like knitting a scarf for next winter or trimming my split ends. A word I feel is appropriate to describe The Mummy Returns is 'silly'. Very silly.
