That said, Returns doesn't quite make into the same league as The Mummy. A touch too many action scenes, needless plot complications (everyone seems to a reincarnated version of somebody else) and a smattering of dodgy CGI let the side down a little bit. Still, The Mummy Returns remains a very entertaining second outing.… Expand

Compared with the first One, this second part leaves a lot to be desired, the story feels forced but I still consider it a good story

Hands-down one of my top five favorite adventure films of all time, "The Mummy Returns" takes all the fun from the first movie - action and humor - and launches it off on a far more epic platform as Rick O' Connell and Evie find themselvesHands-down one of my top five favorite adventure films of all time, "The Mummy Returns" takes all the fun from the first movie - action and humor - and launches it off on a far more epic platform as Rick O' Connell and Evie find themselves trying to track down their young son and the reincarnated Imhotep before he can kill the Scorpion King and unleash hell upon the world. Yeah, I know it's all kinda corny and over-the-top, but this movie is just so friggin' entertaining you can't help but love it. Brendan Fraser was the star of the first film for his charm and charisma, and here he delivers more of the same. The chemistry between him and Rachel Weisz is as palpable as ever, the brother is still a good bit of fun, and the son - God, the scenes with the son and Ockna (or whatever his name is) are just hilarious! How can anyone not enjoy this? I never get tired of watching it - "The Mummy Returns" is simply awesome.… Expand

This movie is better than the first one: there is more action and there are more locations.

Enjoyable thanks to the humor and the many special effects.
Most people compare this sequel to the first movie 'The Mummy', which is a good thing of course, but I haven't seen the first one, so no comparisons from me.

Most people compare this sequel to the first movie 'The Mummy', which is a good thing of course, but I haven't seen the first one, so no comparisons from me.

So what can I tell you? Well, the movie isn't as bad as I expected. It's all to clear that the director's first thought wasn't about the script but about the many special effects, but i still quite liked the movie. What made this movie work for me was the humor. Normally this kind of movies takes itself much too serious, there is no place for any joke or funny situation at all. In The Mummy Returns this is different.

Thanks to the humor, this movie was very enjoyable, but it is of course the many special effects that make this movie what it is. Don't expect anything real: a mummy coming to life, sucking the life out of people, armies of mythological creatures... will of course never exist in reality, but it certainly was nice to see.

I guess it is best to qualify this movie as some excellent way to pass some boring hours on a cold and rainy afternoon. It's certainly not an intellectual movie, but I didn't mind about that when watching it. I give it a… Expand

The Mummy Returns is just so darn entertaining! Nearly as good as the first installment, the film takes us on another adventure through Egypt--one that we won't regret.

While it's not as good as the first movie it's still a good movie, the characters aren't as enjoyable this go around and neither is the plot, but the humor and action is still here, a good movie from beginning to end.

This one is my favorite out of the series. It has all the same cast. Plus the same Mummy's from part 1 along with new ones. Pretty sweet movie.

Wow so many negative ratings but only one negative review (so far). Makes you wonder....

Anyhow those who are bashing this movie just because of the CG Scorpion King should think about what happened when movie makers used CG costume in Green lantern. I strongly believe that Stephen Sommers took the correct route. At least we did not get real head hovering in air.

This movie is excellent example of show not tell. All the so-called plot holes are totally explainable if you apply simple logic.
Plot holes like why Imhotep identifies Evie as Nefartiri this time, while he was unable to do so is totally explainable by the fact that in "The Mummy" Imhotep stole the eyes of Mr. Burns who was a person with poor eyesight, but this time round, he was able to procure eyes with perfect eyesight. Then, the rebirth of Anck-Su-Namun is also totally explainable. Meela inherited memories of Anck-Su-Namun, and not her soul. It is similar to sharing beliefs and consciousness with people but being a different person from them. This also explains why Meela abandoned Imhotep in his final moments. Meela wasn't in love with Imhotep but rather she was fascinated with chasing the dream of Immortal Love of Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep.

Anck-Su-Namun soul was now sharing her body with Meela, but her soul was no more than a ghost which possesses a human host. There is only so much control a ghost can exercise over a hosts body. So, she abandoned Imohotep, when he needed her help the most.

Imhotep realized that his true love was long gone. Anck-Su-Namun (who was brave enough commit suicide because of him) had died centuries ago and his era was long gone. He finally glanced at Rick and Evie and realized that in this era the perfect example of true love were Rick and Evie and not Imhotep and Meela. So, he lets go off the ledge.

Any more questions?… Expand
