The Mummy was great...

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2002)

But the sequel has less to be desired. I saw this film expecting great things, but I was sorely disappointed. I missed the laughs and the romance that the first Mummy had. The Mummy Returns wasn't funny and the plot was too convoluted to make any sense. Also some of the CGI critters did not have much appeal. I loved how the mummy looked in the first film. But in this one, there isn't enough of the original mummy. Instead, we get the Rock with a scorpion body that looked so fake and those little munchkins running around. And that kid, where do I start. The word annoying comes to mind. I mean, why couldn't we have just had another film where Rick and Evie go on another adventure together.
FINAL VERDICT: If you want to see a great, funny, interesting adventure movie, watch The Mummy. My advice is to avoid this sequel because watching the Mummy Returns will only ruin all the great things there is to like about the first one.
