Fight scenes are cartoonish!

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2001)

I loved the first one. So I was really looking forward to seeing The Mummy Returns. But as I sat watching it, I found myself feeling uncomfortable. The fight scenes are shown speeded up,slightly blurred and with in your face closeups. Kind of cartoonish. The sound is very loud and there were way too many special effects. No real story, just lots and lots of action. A bit like wrestling. My four year old loved it, which is probably somewhat the audience they were aiming for. I gave it a 6, I liked a lot of it. Just wish they had toned it down. I saw the first Mummy movie three times and bought both DVD's. Probably won't buy this one.
