Take Him Back From Whence He Came!

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2001)

My wife and I were pumped about seeing The Mummy Returns so we acquired a babysitter and headed to the local cineplex. We happily shelled out our $15.00 and entered the theatre expecting to be blown away by a good sequel. The only problem was that The Mummy Returns was a two hour twenty minute snooze-fest! The plot (as if there was one) didn't go anywhere. The story made absolutely no connection to The Mummy, and every scene was so predictable the people in the theatre were accurately guessing the lines before they were delivered. The special effects were pretty good and the flash back scenes were good as well, but the rest of this movie was BAD! One other thing...what happened to the Mummy...he was such a wussy in his return...unlike in the original where he scared the heck out of all those he came across. Bottom line, save your cash...this movie will be much better in the Dollar Theatre market in mid-June. I wanted to Return the Mummy and get my money back...but there are no refunds on "sale" items".
