Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 2.0
A sequel should always be judged as a sequel.
Meaning that it of course will be not as fresh and original as the first film. That being said, this movie still wasn't very good. While the first film was predictable and formulaic, it also was genuinely funny and had good character development, the second is just formulaic and predictable. The DVD does have some redeeming features- it is exhaustive in special features. So much so, that if you are interested in learning how all the special effects are produced, then this might be a good disc for you. Overall the movie is eye-candy that insults your intelligence, but is (partly) saved by great DVD presentation.
