Critics Consensus

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

A piss-poor mummy movie indeed that doesn't deliver a damn thing worth preserving.

As escapist, noisy popcorn entertainment, it certainly delivers

[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.

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

Cinema Crazed

Feels like treading of the same old ground. And that's likely because no one here has really evolved.

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

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.

The writers should read the comments section and take notes. The Mummy Returns is a sequel not built on solid ground, but rather on sinking sand mixed with the ashes of mummified creatures.
