Violent, disappointing sequel not as good as first
I thought the first Mummy, although scary and gross, was great. This time around, we get a little campier, and it just doesn't work. Maybe for some people who didn't like the first, much scarier one, they would prefer this campier, more comic-book-esque adventure, but not me. Parents: although this one is campier, that doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of peril, violence and action, plus several scary images. There's some suggestive content and salty language. Bottom Line: Rent the first one if you're looking for a good movie. Rent this one if you want to take it easy. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

Pretty Lame
Don't listen to what CSM is saying, The Mummy Returns is a dumb, brainless, laughable flick nowhere near the quality of Indiana Jones. It's entertaining, but the acting, script, and plot are terribly cheesy and poor. Stay away unless you think monkey mummies are really frightening.
Good for kids:10+

Not as good as the first and stupid.
The Mummy 2 is exciting the but the visual are bad and in one scene the director mixes up the Rock and a scoripian which is very funny.

The Mummy Returns
A nice sequel to The Mummy series. Way less creepy than the first, but really entertaining.

This was a good movie, but not near as good as the first. Slightly more confusing and a little slower. Less violence, though, but still some swearing. Not much gruesome imagery, though.

Great Movie
The Mummy Returns is an outstanding sequel to an equally outstanding movie. The scenes are well-thought-out, the action-y parts are well-coordinated, the dialouge is great (no cheese) and the characters are well-done.
There is definatly some graphic gun-fighting, and the scene where Anck-su-namun stabs Evelyn is a bit disturbing, although it lacks blood. The violence might bother some younger children.
There is light profanity. Light.
The role models are good because they fight for what's right. Take Rick for example; he fights to save his son's life and later to avenge his wife. Dedicated husband and father, Take Ardeth; he fights for the duty he was charged with. He has determination and ambition; two great human qualities.
My absolute favorite movie.

Very Violent and Frightening...Not for Kids!
I saw THE MUMMY first, and then the third, since this one wasn't at my local library. The first was more of a horror film, and the third was more like Indiana Jones (which made me like it more). Well, I have just remembered the heavenly gifts of Blockbuster, and I rented this one to watch last night. It falls more in vein with the spirit of the first, and is filled with frightening images that will be too horrific for kids.
Lets start by saying that any kids who find half-decomposed people scary should not watch this film. The movie is filled with them, and they stalk the main characters everywhere and kill many people (in one such scene, a mummy sucks the flesh off a man's face into his mouth, leaving the man a skeleton). Little skeleton pygmie-monkeys (think Jack the monkey in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) impale and slice people with spears. Also, people are shot and stabbed by other people, not just mummies. A woman is almost burned to death. There are some mild revealing outfits and some passionate kissing, that's all. Language consists of one or two "d**n"s and one "go to h*ll". Though several of the characters are evil and self-serving, the main characters are kind, loyal, and sacrifice for each other.

Dumb, stupid, confusing, porley explained...
One thing, WHO THE HECK IS THE SCORPION KING?????? He is just some guy they made up because they couldn't think of a better plot!!! why cant the mummy just return? why dose this scorpion king guy have to be there too? Just read on for the issues:
1. Gunplay, hand to hand duels, and killing, many things, such as the mummy, may scare kids.
2. Mild language including: A-s, D--n, and H--l.
3. revaling outfits and kissing.
The only reason to wach this is if you A: are a die hard movie fan, B: a die hard mummy fan, or C: some one who has to watch every movie in a siries so he can see al the new and old charecters, otherwise, don't watch this.

Less scariness + Unnecessary humor = Crap
The first Mummy movie was so good that I just watched this on impluse, and it was a BIG disappointment. When it comes to sequels, I expect more violence and scariness, and while this film has a bigger budget, it loses itself with increased humor and a complete lack of scariness. There is action, but the spine-tingling chills of the first film are not to be found here. We have here one of those times where the sequel ruins itself in an attempt to top the first. Go watch the original.
