One of the best movies of all time

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2001)

(mild spoilers) Most people might be frighntend off by the idea of a sequal, and they have a reason to be. Jurassic Park and Star Wars may be the only movies ever that it's sequals were supior to the originals. Up on to now, that is. The Mummy Returns starts off with High Quality Butt Kicking Action that left me savouring every mili second right up to the last scene.
What Made this movie greater than the original? Well, There was a lot less explaining and more fighting than the first. Not to mention, The movie was all-together more impressive with it's special effects, high paced corregrahed action sequences and even more drama than it's prequal.
There were some heavy downsides too. For Instance, the special effects may of been much more impressive than in the Mummy, but are specks of dust compared to movies such as The Matrix, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menance and others of that class. Another serious problem were some of the scene's were imitating the first movie. For instance, The Scene wear the Mummy cause the windstorm to bear his face and chase Rick O'Conner in the air plane, almost the exact smae thing happened when the Mummy caused a tidal wave to bear his face and chase O'Connel in a hot air balloon. Even though the Tidal wave was more imaginitive and thrilling than the sand storm, one cant help thinking that the wirters could of thought of something more original. Besides the Given reasons, This movie rises high above all the previous films released this year yet.
