Better than the first, truly great adventure.

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2003)

Of course, almost every summer blockbuster has a sequel these days, and most of the time the disappoint, with little to no character development. The Mummy Returns doesn't follow that pattern. The characters are built on, the story thickens, and the action gets even better!
The two characters that are built on from the first are Evy (Rachel Weisz) and Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr). In the first, Evy was more of a "Damsel in Distress" whereas in the second she's more independent. Ardeth just showed up in the first, but in the second we learn more about his people and get to know the character more.
And, of course, there is the action. The Mummy Returns does not once have a slow scene, only action and emotion. Great adventure flick, 8.5/10.
