There are even pigmy mummies before everything is finished. This movie reminds us that special effects are not enough to make a good movie. There are at least a few things you can reasonably expect from a historic, fantasy adventure. One is atmosphere. There is very little of that here.
Characters dress up and drive old cars, but there is little sense of time or place.
An adventure such as Raiders of the Lost Arc takes some time out to introduce us to cities where the adventure takes place and introduces us to its inhabitants. The world of the Mummy Returns seems devoid of anyone except the principle characters and their respective cults. There are a few people who jump out of the way of a fleeing bus, but they hardly count. The England that is introduced could have represented almost any time in the last century. Egypt is handled the same way.
