Entertaining, but not as good as the original

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2001)

I greatly enjoyed The Mummy, and honestly, I had low expectations for The Mummy Returns. I was, however, pleasntly surprised for the most part - they did a relatively good job stitching together the two movies, the plot was decent, and overall it's a fairly worthy successor. The humor seemed a little lacking compared to the original, and I was greatly annoyed by the imitation of scenes from the original (If you've seen it, you know what I mean). Also, the otherwise stunning visuals broke down slightly with the Scorpion King. But all in all, it's a decent sequel to a movie that wasn't made for sequels.
