Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointing compared to the first.
Review: Brendan Fraser, et. al. give it their best try, but with a script this vacuous, a plot this meandering, and some truly bad special effects (the ending), there is only so much you can do.The first movie (1999's "The Mummy") is a modern classic. "The Mummy Returns" is a limp retread. I hear there is a third movie in the works, since the first two did so well financially, and I can only hope the franchise returns to the standards of quality and adventure that the first film embodied.
