A waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2003)

The Mummy Returns in no way compares to the original. The special effects, the acting, the storyline, the comic relief, and even the music are all completely cheesy. Even worse, the movie tries to take itself seriously while the audience just can't. I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I was with this movie, especially since the first Mummy was so great. The first had lots of adventure and a good story to it but this one doesn't. The action is boring and repetitive. The story is pointless. I don't see any reason how anyone could like this one better.
There were some good parts, but not enough to save this horrible movie. It also runs painfully long. Any movie this bad shouldn't be over two hours. It shouldn't even be more than two minutes. I can't believe that The Mummy Returns made so much money, and it did better than the original. If you're actually willing to see this movie, please don't waste any money on it. Wait for TV.
My rating: 1/10
