Not as good as the first, but still enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2001)

While The Mummy Returns was not as good as the first one, it is still an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon. It didn't have the suspense of the first one, and I agree with all the people who said that there was just a bit too much CGI. Although I give the writer a thumbs up for actually having this couple stay together from one film to the next, rather than have then split up between the two films and meet up again the the sequel, there was something about the romantic tension between the leads in the first film. The first film was incorporated nicely, although a bit cheesy at times. Overall, a good film, just don't expect perfection.
