Good but I still like the first movie better

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 2002)

I enjoyed the Mummy Returns, but I wish that Rick and Evie (Brandon Fraser and Rachel Weisz, who again share incredible chemistry) hadn't been saddled with a kid. They just didn't seem as fun as parents, and the kid came off as a brat. The wonderful John Hannah reprises his role as Evie's wimpy brother and is good for a lot of laughs, and in his brief role as the Scorpion King the Rock entertains. With the Rock, Fraser and Hannah all in the same film, I'm sure plenty of ladies were entertained by that alone! The same rollicking adventures follow, but they don't seem as fresh or as fun as in the original. Still, all the performances are entertaining and the pop culture spoofs (James Bond, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Peter Sellers) are priceless. Viva The Mummy!
