total waste of time!

Know this here and now...Hollywood has mastered the art of distilling something to strip it of any value at all. Such is the case for "Mummy Returns". There are so many issues with this "film" that I will limit my self to only the few maim problems.
(****The first point might be considered a spoiler****)

1. They had NO business indicating that famous wrestler "The Roc" was going to be in this picture. His total screen time was less than 2 minutes at the very beginning and he was all computer generated at the end. He may be a good actor, or a bad one, but we'll never know from this movie.
2. Everything that was charming and decent about the original film could not be found in this one. Everything seemed forced and barely thought out.
3. ENOUGH WITH THE COMPUTER GENERATED THINGIES EVERYWHERE ALREADY!!! It's not all that impressive really and it all LOOKS LIKE COMPUTER GENERATED THINGIES!!! 'nuff said on that one I think.
4. Michael Bay had done more harm to the style of movie making than can ever be undone. Shaking "edgy" extreme close-ups and relentless motion that he enjoys so much has been adopted by "Mummy Returns" and it's quite hard to watch without becoming dizzy.
So, to sum up..."Mummy Returns" is a watered down, effected ridden pile of horse dung. Enjoy!
