Good sequel

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2001)

First of all I want to mention that I´m a fifteen year old Austrian so my English is not the best one or very poor.
What´s to say about the Mummy returns? Nice sequel. Of course not as good as the original film but not too bad at all. The plot was quite disappointing. One action scene followed another. The mystical,calm parts of the first film which I very estimated are almost removed except a few romantic scenes. I also missed the good old British humor of John Hannah. In my opinion is the Mummy returns more Fantasy than it is Horror. On the other hand the battle between the Madjai and the Army of Anubis and the duel between Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez make the film worth seeing. Besides, I think that Miss.Weisz was more adventurer than the mother of an eight year old boy, which does not mean that she is a bad actress. - By the way I´d say that Rachel Weisz is one the most beautiful, lovely and attractive woman in Hollywood ;) - What a pity that beauty and charm don´t make a good film. Oded Fehr was in contrast to some special effects (the appearance of the Rock or when the whole jungle disappeared into the Golden Pyramid) brilliant in his role as the commander of the Madjai armed whether with his sword or with the Thompson. *Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta!* As well as Ardeth Bay was Arnoldo Vosloo as Imhotep who showed more emotions than in the original film. All in all the mummy returns is one of the best sequels I have ever seen.
