Suffers a little from the belief commonly held by sequels that "Bigger is better". Does expand the mythology (arguably not a positive), but more importantly is still a good time, thanks primarily to the relationship between the Brendan Fraser and Rachael Weisz characters. _Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go._

***Bigger is NOT always better; here it’s overKILL*** I'm a fan of the first movie from 1999 and was naturally looking forward to this 2001 sequel. I originally saw it at the theater with two friends; after about 10-15 minutes we were all bored by the bombardment of action and F/X. We just laid back in our seats in tedium for the remaining couple hours. It's a curious thing that too much action and F/X in a fil…

Yeah, right, and no harm ever came from reading a book. You remember how that one went? After the financial success of "The Mummy" two years earlier, the sequel was inevitable.

This is, actually, every bit as good as it's daddy - but why, oh why, do we always to have to introduce children into the mix? In this case Fredddie Boath joins the gang of intrepid adventurers trying to save the world from the scourge of a recently re-reincarnated mummy (a re-born, born again sort of thing!). He finds the Bracelet of Anubis, gets kidnapped and off we go on a fun race against time across the desert e…

<em>'The Mummy Returns'</em> 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 i…
