Nice to watch, but lacking the charm of the first movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 May 2001)

I could say I ended up with huge dissappointment when I saw this movie. I didn't expect much after I saw "The Mummy" two years ago, as it was superb in all respects. But I didn't thought the sequel would be like this. First af all, I think, the story was weak. Lots of things happen without being able to tell us why. There were some unnecessary things. Why were the pygmies added? It was nonsense. The funniest thing-though it did not make me laugh-was that Eve was Nefertiti! The best thing about this movie was Oded Fehr and John Hannah. They make the movie worth watching. In short, if you saw "The Mummy" and liked it, don't expect much from "the Mummy Returns".
