Lots of fun, but a rushed sequal.

The original Mummy is one of my favorite movies. So naturally nothing made my more excited when I heard of Mummy Returns. When It came out however, I can't help but feel a little let down. In my opinion, the first film was PERFECT in every way. Special Effects were carefully done, and a lot of time was spent. It just seemed like there was a perfect blend of Special Effects, Comedy, and Action.
The Mummy Returns however Suffers from being a rushed project. They tried to do way to much, it to small of a time period. Mummy Returns has twice, maybe three/four times as many special effects shots as the Original film. Which is great and everything, but there just was not enough time to make them look perfect. And they were not nessary to make the film good. Don't get me wrong, I love special effects, but they just tried to do WAY TO MUCH. For example, the very end when you see the The Scorpion King... he just looks like crap. Why couldn't they just use the Rocks face? Ill tell you why, because the movie was not finished yet! I heard that they were working on Special Effects shots for the movie up till a few weeks before it was released!
So I guess what I am trying to say is I wish "The Mummy Returns" was more like "The Mummy." But I still enjoyed it. I am afraid of what the "The Scorpion King" (next Mummy film) is going to be like....
The Mummy Returns gets a 7 out of 10 and The Original Mummy gets a 10 out of 10 from me.
