Critics Consensus

In The Mummy Returns, the special effects are impressive, but the characters seem secondary to the computer generated imagery.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Very violent, mostly in comic-book terms. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone A piss-poor mummy movie indeed that doesn't deliver a damn thing worth preserving. Rated: 1/5 Jun 4, 2001 Full Review Caroline Westbrook Empire Magazine As escapist, noisy popcorn entertainment, it certainly delivers Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2001 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [Stephen] Sommers is a pure pop Stephen Spielberg but this chapter is less 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' than 'Gunga Din,' a pulp update of old Hollywood action movies. Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The nonstop action sequences are comparable to the original, though the timing and execution here lack the creativity and momentum needed to truly match up. Rated: 4/10 Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Feels like treading of the same old ground. And that's likely because no one here has really evolved.

maryam a One of the few movies whose sequel is better that the previous part. The mummy was amazing but the mummy returns is spectacular. The plot and storyline hooks you to the entire movie. The emotions and character growth can be felt as well as be seen in the movie. Definitely a must watch movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Idan Charles L How the hell did he get gas Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Gyv E Certainly one of my most rewatchable films, along with the first one. Love the uncle and nephew relationship. Great action and Brendan and Rachel are always awesomely done characters. How I wish we still got Rachel Weisz in the third installment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Radio O This is really good just the Rock cgi is so ugly and awful to watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Andrew L This movie is not as good as the first film and tries a little too hard to give The Rock's character, The Scorpion King, a purpose. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Alan g Not as good as the first one. Too many ridiculous add ons. Even animated the Crock can't act. Still does his eyebrow stare thing. Still stupid.
