I could have done without all the cheesy one-liners and over-acting performances, but some of the action scenes are a lot of old-school fun, a la Indiana Jones. |

The cast of The Mummy returns for a sequel. Lucky for them the whole cast has returned otherwise I would've been iffy with this decision. However, The Mummy Returns is as thrilling and pacted full of adventure, romance and humor as the last if not more so. If I had not seen the first one I would've still thought this movie amazing. The cast is as amazing as ever with great chemistry and the plot is as entertaining and thrilling as the last. THis is definately a movie to see and one that all sequels should equel in the fact that it did not fail to please and entertain as many do. |

"The Mummy Returns" by Yojimbo |
|
Brendan Fraser and co are once again terrorised by cartoon mummies in this typical Hollywood sequel; it tries so hard to outdo the first that the ingredients that made it work get lost in the flabby, overblown excess. The Mummy worked because it had fun interplay between hugely likeable characters, only marred by the over-reliance on cartoony CGI. So what did Sommers do? Cut out all the characterisation and dialogue, and put in loads more CGI...Fraser and Weisz's kooky romance is replaced by schmaltzy married bliss complete with precocious brat, and Hannah's character does little more than bicker with an 8 year old. The plot consists of stereotypes spouting cliches between race against time chase sequences and as soon as they conclude the baddies immediately reappear and start another one... |
