Better than the first!

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2001)

The Mummy Returns was a surprisingly good sequel. While many sequels totally abolish the characters established in the original, the Mummy Returns retains the stellar cast that added to the success of the first movie. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, playing the married O'Connell couple, have impressive on-screen chemistry. Return performances by John Hannah and Oded Fehr further increase the movie's excellence. Though the actors used were excellent, it was not a case of casting stars to save a poor plot. The plot is riveting, and is enriched by the use of amazing special effects and stunning fight scenes. All in all, a superb movie.
