Rating: 1.0
A Waste
Attention!! If you go to a movie store with one goal in mind, that being to waste money and time on renting and watching a film, you should feel drawn to The Mummy Returns.Don't get me wrong - I loved The Mummy. It's one of my favorites, and that is simply why I rented The Mummy Returns. The first movie was somewhat believable, as it contained history, humor, and realism. The sequel was so far-fetched, I was tempted to shut it off halfway through. Evie's character was demolished in the sequel - in the Mummy, she is a somewhat clumsy, bright, pleasant person. She would rather find ways around fighting than fight. In the sequel, they have changed her into some kind of wannabe black belt that no more needs her handsome husband to protect her. The explanation of Rick's mysterious tattoo is meaningless, and I was especially bored with the whole Evie-is-actually-the-pharoah's-daughter-in-another-life thing.In a brief summary, the movie is far-fetched, and you wouldn't know it was on a big budget as every special effect appears to be so fake.
