The Mummy Returns (Blu-ray)
Deluxe Edition
An ancient legacy of terror is unleashed when the accursed mummy, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), is resurrected - along with a force even more powerful: The Scorpion King (The Rock). Now, as the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance, Rick O'Connell (Fraser) and his wife Evie (Rachel Weisz) embark on a daring, desperate race to save their son - and the world - from unspeakable evil. The Mummy Returns is supercharged with pulse pounding action and spectacular special effects that'll blow you away.

Classic case of a sequel that tries too hard, more outlandish than the first with special effects - moviemonger
The Mummy Returns will please many that are looking for a mindless roller coaster ride with some familiar friends. The opportunities to build off the strengths of the first film have been wasted in this sequel. Director Stephen Sommers obviously decided to take the route most traveled by creating a "Temple of Doom" style knock-off, teeming with effects but light on character development. It's a pity considering the talent involved, but not unexpected in the blockbuster driven Hollywood of today.
The Mummy Returns moves at breakneck speed crashing its way through one action sequence after another towards the final climax. The story takes a back seat to flying dirigibles, marauding pygmies, four reincarnations, two desert wars, sexy female combat, killer walls of water and, not in the least, a major death. And that, unfortunately, restricts the audience to which this film will appeal.
