Is it just me, or does The Mummy Returns look quite cool?

I thought it was an excellent movie. Better than the first even. But those of you who didn't like the first one, no doubt wouldn't like the sequel anyways. Thumbs up from me!! :D

As did I Greg, it's not that the second was bad (IMNSHO) but it just looks like they tried too hard to make it bigger and better than the original at the expense of a really good storyline, like the first had. My .02 cents worth, but I will still pick it up for my collection as I feel it is worth a watch or three.

I thought this was an excellent movie. I saw this in the threaters already so I knew what to expect. Goes to show what kind of taste I got. ;)

I like this and I thought what a cool sequel this was. I thought both were good.

Missed it in theaters and finally saw it on DVD...

It was lots of fun, good character development, but I think the excessive use of CGI sorta killed it for me. I think The Rock himself only got about a minute and a half of actual screen time.

Still, i enjoyed the movie for what it was!
