    Spectacular and unforgettable. The entire gang is back and better than ever continuing to shine with their irrisitable chemistry. Brendan Frasier, Rachel Weiz, John Hannah and Oded Fehr are teriffic once again. A full-throttle good time that you cannot get enough of. Absolutely hilarious and action-packed. Just as fantastic as the first film. Loaded with more amasing action, teriffic humor and great speacial effects. A rollar-coaster that you cant help but get on. An awsome and incrediably fun ride. A frequently thrilling and jaw-dropping adventure that dazzels on the screen with breathtaking excitment. It's a real classic. Aequel that stands to be as good as the first film.

    A few years after defeating The Mummy known as Imhotep, The O?Connell?s decide to settle down to raise their son Alex and search the world for hidden treasures. When a small band decides to resurrect Imhotep to once again to rein his terror and rule the world. Kidnapping the O?Connell?s son Alex because he has the bracelet to seek and find the hidden tomb of The Scorpion King. If Imhotep could kill the Scorpion King he would gain the immortality and all the power The Scorpion King poses. Now the O?Connell?s must stop Imhotep and rescue their son before Imhotep gains the power of The Scorpion King and rules the world.
    The Mummy Returns is another solid entry in The Mummy franchise that was able to bring back the entire original cast. The Mummy Returns is not perfect but what the movie does should satisfy the viewer. The Rock has a small role as The Scorpion King that helped jump start his career in the movie business. His wrestling persona is perfect for this industry and the first time out The Rock does a solid job. The only fault that people and critics may have with the film is the special effects of The Scorpion King at the end of the movie where he is half human, half scorpion, though in the blu-ray edition of the movie, the special effects are more solid and more believable for the look of The Scorpion King then in the VHS and standard DVD. The Mummy Returns receives three and half sarcophaguses out of five for being a solid action film for the whole family.

    Yet another solid Mummy film. It was rather fun watching this one but it lacks some key elements. They had to use the same villain again who died in the first film, it was bad. He died already, no need to recycle villains. The concept was rather enjoyable and they managed to put a mean looking villain in the embodiment of Mathayus, half man half scorpion.

    The whole reincarnate angle was unnecessary. The film would have worked a lot better if they left that bit in the cutting room. It is obviously just an excuse so the two smokin' ladies can battle it out with their sais in the end of the film.

    On a positive note, I can probably say it is a lot better than the first one. The first Mummy is one action scene short than the sequel. This one was bigger than the first in many ways. Here's hoping for a yet more bigger Mummy 3 (Though I don't really dig the fact that there's no more deserts in the third film, its the Mummy. Mummies reside in the vast deserts, not China)

    3/5

    Rick: Knowing my brother-in-law, he probably deserves whatever you're about to do to him. But this is my house. I have certain rules about snakes and dismemberment.

    A sequel to the very entertaining re-imagining of The Mummy. This film still has the same attitude of the first, but it is taken a little more seriously and some rehash of the first hurts it a little. Still, this film is a very fun adventure movie, that moves at a very fast pace.

    The entire cast returns, which includes the charmingly heroic Brendan Fraser, the very hot Rachel Weiz, and the badasses that are Oded Feher and Arnold Vosloo.

    The Rock sort of joins this time around as well. Having the rock serve as a focus point, despite the fact that he is only really on screen for real for about 5 minutes, not including CGI, is funny to me.

    The plot involves a race against time involving the good guys racing against the bad guys to find this Scorpion King. The bad guys consist of the Mummy who has...returned.

    For this movie, director Stephen Sommers has gone for the bigger is better approach, filling almost every scene with special effects and action. One can see it as an effects orgy, or one can just have a good time watching it. I wanted to have a good time, so I enjoy myself when watching it.

    It does help that once again, this movie does have a great sense of humor and fully recognizes that this is a fun summer action movie, and a well made one at that.

    Izzy: O'Connell, who the hell you been messing with this time, huh?
    Rick: Oh, you know, the usual. Mummies, pygmies, big bugs.

    I really, really loved this movie. Partially because I have an obsession with ancient cultures and all, partially because I liked all the actors in it (well I don't like little kids, but that kid did well also in the movie), partially because of the special effects and all becuase it was a really good movie. It had a lot of funny parts and a good storyline which was to be expected from Stephen Sommers the writer/director. The creature effects and action were also incredible for a movie made in 2001. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

    Well they mucked up the humor by orientating it to the kid, but it made up for it with pointlessly fun action bits. This is where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got his movie break.
