Madhav N This movie was a huge part of my childhood I always have and will always love this film. But even from a critical standpoint even if you negate the nostalgia factor I still LOVE this movie. What is there not to love? Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, Oded Fehr all give a striking performance. There are two ways to go about a mummy movie, either you make it a slow brooding, slow burn melancholic dark fantasy creepy movie like the brillaint boris karloff version OR you make it a fun action advneture with scene of genuine horror with a good dose of comedy and love and romance and friendship, this movie had it all romance and friendship and horror and humour, When I see a movie I personally dont care if it matches with ideas of plato or dostoyevsky yes I do not want it to be nonsensical but I also watch movies for entertainment not for a lecture, sure I do enjoy the philosophical movies like blade runner the deep movies strike a chord but I also enjoy ,ovies that touch on history fantasy aspects and lots of adventure with romance and friendship and I think in a post 2020 world where everything is so cynical I find myself rewatching this movie and yes the good old memories wash it, the acting is great especially vosloo dude still scares the hell outta me! its paced well and most imprtatnly characters are likeable like you give a damn you care for evie and rick and alex and ardeth something modern films fail, modern film characters in excuse for depth are just not likeable.......in a story no matter how good the ideas are or how deep it is means nothing if the characters are bland like the three body problem novel great ideas terrible characters like bland chaarcters and too dark. The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are fun and heartwarming and they supercharged my interest in history naturally more predominantly egyptian history I LOVE THIS MOVIE and to add little alex actor did an awesome job and yes we can let pass the scorpion king cgi get over it, the concept was cool yes this movie IS AMAZING Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Samuel M Not as good as the first one but it's still a fun movie.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Melissa M As far as sequels go this was one of the better ones. The mummy movie franchise is one of the best. In this film there's a lot of the same characters. And a lot of the same actors and actresses. It's fast-paced and action-packed. Some of the scenes are a little dark and hard to see. Sometimes the action is a little too fast and hard to follow. But other than that it's a pretty awesome movie. It doesn't rely heavily on CGI which is a good thing when you have a good storyline you don't need that. And this movie Evelyn kicks butt. She's like a cross between Lara Croft and Cynthia Rothrock. Again Rick O'Connell proves he is definitely an action hero. In this film Jonathan is the comic relief. Of course the villains have all the best lines. There's never a dull moment. Very few movies are worth watching more than once. But this movie no matter how many times you see it it's still pretty awesome. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review alan g I liked the first one but this one is too comic bookish. Unrealistic additions, balloon with jets, fighting with sai (japanese weapon), the Crock, mini demons, etc. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review r96 s 'The Mummy Returns' feels to me to be a downgrade on the original, though I still gained the desired entertainment from it. There is an absolute barrage of special effects used in this though, I said in my previous review about it aging badly - it's worse here. I still wouldn't say that the below par effects affected my enjoyment terribly much, like last time, but due to the (what felt like) increase of its usage it definitely becomes a bit of an eyesore this time out. The Scorpion King towards the conclusion looks particularly poor, I gotta say. Cast-wise, I could copy and paste what I said about the 1999 flick. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are good together, I like the addition of their son (played well by Freddie Boath) into the mix. Also in my review of 'The Mummy', I noted that I wanted more of Oded Fehr, well I got that wish delivered here. Quite interesting to see Dwayne Johnson appear as The Scorpion King, a character (and therefore franchise; five of them!) that I never knew existed until very recently. Given Johnson's upward acting trajectory since these films, I assume he didn't appear in all of those other spin-offs; I'll soon find out, intrigued to watch 'em either way.
