Doesn't have the fun of the original

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2001)

The Mummy Returns has a lot of great special effects but it missed what made the original an ejoyable flick. The original The Mummy wasn't a great movie but it had a style and a sense of fun to it. This time around the story makes less sense and worse it's never really that interesting. A lot of things happened but I became bored at times. There are some pretty good scenes in the movie like the chase by the mummies on a double deckar bus, but during most action scenes I just thought so what. There are also silly subplots they could have just done without. Great special effects, not so great execution. 5 out of 10.
