Not wonderful but somewhat enjoyable...........

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2001)

Though the movie was not as good as the original, what sequel is these days? However it was not a particularly bad film. It had it's positive aspects and it's negative ones. Yes there were times in the film where I absolutely wanted to walk on out and vomit, but there were also times when I was at the edge of my seat and biting my nails.
The Mummy Returns had three basic problems: The lack of emphasis on imotep. (this is The Mummy Returns for the love of god and the last I checked Imotep was the mummy)The second main problem with the film was the son of Rick and Eve O'connel who would always find a new way to get into trouble no matter what. Did I mention he was annoying. And last but not least we come to the fact that they decided to place The Rock into the film as the scorpion king. Why they wanted to place a wrestler from WWF into the film and give him no lines at all is beyond me.
Other then the three weaknesses found in the film above it's quite a decent piece of work. The plot picks up as the film progresses and the special effects are phenominal. All the actors aside from the little kid put an honest effort into the film to make the film work on so many levels. Children will love the action and humor and adult males will love the shots of Rachel Wies' clevage. Women will love any shot with Brendan Fasier in it.
All in all the good parts of the film outweigh the bad and in the end you'll most likely approve of it.
