Critic Reviews
There's much mumbo-jumbo about past lives and symbolic tattoos, but who cares when you can gaze at a sight as lovely as a dirigible floating in the night sky?
Read the full reviewVirtually bursts with visual goodies, and writer-director Stephen Sommers scarcely allows the actors, or the audience, a moment to take a breath during the nonstop action of the final hour.
Read the full reviewBoth pleasantly old-fashioned and packed with up-to-date computer-generated special effects, the film's constant plot turns, cheeky sensibility and omnipresent action sequences have no trouble attracting our attention and holding on.
Read the full reviewThe actors themselves are more rip roaring and full of spunk than in their first outing.
Read the full reviewThe noisome action sequences of The Mummy Returns are preferable to the quiet times, when the cast is limited to spouting dialogue that is a banal combination of exposition and homily.
Read the full reviewSuffers from the bloat common to sequels.
Read the full reviewThe mistake of The Mummy Returns is to abandon the characters, and to use the plot only as a clothesline for special effects and action sequences.
Read the full reviewFraser is likable enough, albeit never quite convincing as an action hero.
Read the full reviewMany of the visual effects are stunning, but others are downright cheesy -- especially an attempt to fuse the Rock's head onto a scorpion's body.

Worthy Sequel
"The Mummy Returns stands neck and neck with the first, it adds some interesting parts into the story. While it's a little off in some parts, like the CGI at the end, it still has great moments."
Great movie
"INTERESTING PLOT. Amazing back-story and a great follow up to the Mummy"
woohoo!
"the first one was a black comedy. the second, even better. the CGI is amazing. the mummy returns is by far more impressive than its predessor, and imotep is as unforgiving as ever. yet, hes lost his fearful atmosphere, the scorpian king puts him down a rung on the ladder of evil."
good
"but the first one was still better...the scorpion king sucks..."
Awesome
"I think that this is really a great movie. I hope they reprise the roles and do another one because I will be sitting here patiently waiting for one."
Ardeth Bay
"In the second movie they actually tell you Ardeths name. if Ardeth wasn't there in the beggining EVy and Alex would have been killed."
