Good, action packed with a few flaws

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2001)

The Mummy Returns is a good sequel to The Mummy. Although The Mummy was remake of an earlier film and the sequel also takes from a few other movies, this one is good. If you are one who can't stand movies that are not completely original, mostly likely, you will not be able to sit through this one. However, if you are looking for some action packed, good entertainment, this one is for you.
All of the original actors, Brenden Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and Arnold Vosloo, return for this sequel. This helps the movie flow. The action starts right from the beginning and does not stop until the end. There is little or no "slow" period in this one. The special affects are good for the most part but it appeared the f/x artists were either, running out of money or time in a few areas. Some of the effects seemed either poor or incomplete. There were also a few other items in the movie that did not make sense. There were also problems with some of the technology used in this movie that were not invented by the time this film was suppose to take place (such as a reliable rocket engine in 1933).
Over all, this one if definitely worth your while (8 out of 10).
