The Mummy Returns. Badly.

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2001)

I just don't understand it. Just about every sequel ends up like this; torn apart by a bad script and pasted together again with special effects. Don't get me wrong- I like special effects...in moderation, but lately I have been disappointed in the lack of real-time camera in film. Producers are using computer graphics instead of on site filming, giving film a bitter, artificial taste.
The script also suffered. Like in most modern films, the film lacked personal interaction. More and more fight scenes are used; the script-writers seem to have replaced drama with violence and computer graphics. The plot drags on, with the expected twists that offer little mystery or audience involvement. This review probably could fit other sequel characteristics- if you know of any just send me an email.
