Critic Reviews
Digs up both laughs and chills from timeworn material.
Read the full reviewThere is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased.
Read the full reviewThere is much to look at--it's like spending two hours in Michael Jackson's Undead Neverland--but not a lot at stake.
Read the full reviewIn the end, it's the self-mocking aura that save this film from being a waste of two hours.
Read the full reviewThis version of The Mummy has no pretenses to be anything other than a gaudy comic video game splashed onto the screen.
Read the full reviewTries for that series' breezy matinee atmosphere but the results turn out far too forced.
Read the full reviewDrags its uninspiring action out too long for anyone's good.
Read the full reviewSeems to be going through a series of motions so obviously virtual that it makes you wish that the filmmakers had stayed away from the computer keyboards entirely and stuck with the rotting tape look.
Read the full reviewThere isn't a mummy at the center of The Mummy, exactly, but a mutating Industrial Light and Magic Special Effect.
Read the full reviewStumbles and screeches on for an interminable two hours.
Read the full reviewFast and furious, shallow, empty, casually racist, merry, jaunty, silly and utterly weightless.
Read the full reviewUniversal’s attempt to find gold by bringing to new life one of the mustier items in its vaults is pure hokum and scarcely of the first order.

Amazing 10 stars
"I think this movie is THE best movie i've seen in my life!!!The Mummy Returns is an amazing movie. If I had to choose a favorite character it would have to be Ancksunamun, because she is beautiful and a good fighter.Kipper1950"
Dude this is where most critics are wrong
"this was a great movie!like jurassic park i didnt expect it to be goodbut the second is just dull"
Not just great action
"This movie is fun and actiony. It isn't only "save the girl" action but thrilling action. The special effects are great and the acting is pretty good. I have not seen the original from 1933. But i know this is still a great remake. I definately do not agree with the critics ratings. This earns at least 80. Also the flesh eating bugs is a great thrill to watch. I absolutley reccomend this movie."
love it
"Both the Mummy and its sequel were great! they both had lots of adventure, suspicion, hilarity, and romance. I watch this movie all the time. The best thriller of the 90s. All you who don't like ir should."
Classic Mix of Horror and Comedy
"I was surprised by this movie, it had plenty of great moments, including more than a few laughs. The acting was poor in some areas but that doens't hurt the movie too much, at least with Fraiser. The Mummy is much better than what most make it out to be, it's a good movie to watch at almost anytime, just not a whole family movie."
Fowl knows best
"This movie was awesome, some of the lines cheesy, "We've got problems" but it was wonderful. Great acting, and wonderful visual effects. Applause for crew, booing for the Critics. =p'."
My opinion
"I thought this movie was great. i thought the action was power and the showing of the rebuilding of the money was great. It showed us how far in the cinema and special effect we have come. this movie deserves a higher rating"
amazing
"this movie was awesome...too bad the second one wasnt even better...even though it was still good..."
