Product: The Mummy Returns [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 4.0
Fun bit of eye candy
As far as sequels go, no, it does not have the depth of the original. I would actually place the first movie on par with the Indiana Jones movies. However, the sequel does contain all of the fun and excitement of the original. Sit back and relax. In these troubled times, this movie is exactly the kind of escapist fun that we need. It has characters we care about, tons of laughs (the pygmies towards the end just about made me fall out of my seat with laughter), and really spectacular special effects. Turn your brain off, relax, and enjoy the ride! More of a renter than a keeper, unless you're a die-hard fan of the first movie.
