A Great Mummy Sequel

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2007)

The Mummy Returns (2001, Dir. Stephen Sommers)
Many years ago, in Ancient Egypt, the Scorpian Kind led a menacing army, but when he sold his soul to Anubis, he was erased from history. Now he is only a myth...or is he? Rick and Evelyn O'Connell is still discovering new artifacts, along with their 8 year old son Alex. They discover the Bracelet of Anubis. But someone else is after the bracelet. High Priest Imhotep has been brought back from the dead once again and wants the bracelet, to control the Scorpian King's army. That's not the only problem. Imhotep now has Alex and with the bracelet attached to him, doesn't have long to live.
It's hard to come across a good sequel, but 'The Mummy Returns' isn't that bad. It might feel as if it's missing the menace of the mummy in this film, but it's still a lot of fun. All the great characters are back with some hilarious lines, especially John Hannah as Jonathan. The effects are great just like the last film, and the action is there for everyone. Depending on what you like, there will be mixed opinions on which film is better.
