It had alot more action,special f/x, and fight scenes. It takes place where the first one left off. And continues the story very well. I classify this as a typical "popcorn" movie. Which requires no thinking, just kick back and enjoy the ride. This movie felt like it was ripping off Indiana Jones at times. If you like a good adventure story with cool cgi effects, I would definately recommend this!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The sequel to the Mummy brings forth a new member to the family, a young boy. This would make it a great family movie, except for the fact that there are several scenes that could inspire nightmares for younger children. The family goes exploring together and the action begins - and doesn't stop until the end.
Excellent movie great special effects, 4 1/2 Stars in my book. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More The Mummy Returns is a pretty good follow up for the first and it is more of the same. The story with the first two mix well and they bring back the same cast of characters which is a huge plus. I felt though as the movie progressed though it kind of fell apart. As soon as the action scenes started it seemed to have that Mummy feel. Again good watch but I wish there was more horror in it. Watch the first two but not the third because that movie is awful.

I had hoped that the Scorpion King would play a bigger role, but that didn't pan out. The Mummy was good, but The Mummy Returns is only worth watch just to say you've seen them both.

Read More ...and this is no exception. The key actors lose their youthful litheness (like all of us) and the addition of the scorpion king- the costume, not the concept, pushed it over the edge. I still watch and enjoy it however and it does add a few new characters with panache. Really should be kept as a set. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I can't say that about this one. This sequel was full of some horrendously bad acting, a predicable plot, and characters I didnt care about. Even the action scenes were hardly impressive. And while I'm no fan of The Rock, I expected him to have more than 5 minutes of screen time. For me, the only real positive of this movie was Rachel Weisz. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

I liked the whole story and some of the extra characters they brought in I liked as well. I really liked the extra back story they brought in with this movie with Anaksunamu and Rachel Weisz's extra character. I liked the story of the Scorpion King as well, it was short and to the point. Enough of what I needed to be interested in watching the Scorpion King. The only part I didn't like was the CGI effect of the Scorpion King. The Rock looked so bad in that CGI version, but the movie films were still strying to perfect CGI during this time. I definitely recommend this movie if you liked the first one.
