It was a hoot!

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2001)

I was eagerly anticipating the sequal to "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" didn't disappoint! It was wonderfully funny and campy! It started you off on a roller coaster ride and didn't let up until the credits rolled. The plot was a little thin, but who cared! There were enough thrills, chills, spills, and laughs to more than make up for it. Brendan Frasier was great and Oded Fehr was wonderfully dark and sexy. There was that terrific chemistry between Rick and Evie and I thought Evie's brother Jonathan was hysterically inept and greedy but ultimately heroic. Little Alex was a wonderful addition to the cast and not just a child character used to make up for shortcomings in the script. The final poignant scenes of Im-Ho-Tep and Anck-Su-Namun were surprising showing a redeming side of him. This is just a great fun summer movie I'm afraid I have to disagree with my favorite film critic on this one! Sorry, Roger!
