Do you think The Mummy Returns (2001) was a good sequel to The Mummy remake of 1999?
Anyone got love for The Mummy Returns?
Hell yeah. Love both the Mummy and Mummy Returns. Loved Brendan Fraser in those movies and I had such a girl crush on Rachel Weisz.
They are both hilarious and action packed and I have watched both multiple times.
Tried watching the Scorpion King but found it pretty meh. Love the Rock but that wasn’t his best movie. As for the new Mummy with Tom Cruise? Terrible. I’m sorry, for me personally, it’s not a Mummy movie without Brendan Fraser and Co.

I'll be the first to admit that this is a bloated, CGI heavy, far fetched flick that doesn't live up to the heights of the original '99 movie ... but damn is it still a fantastic fun adventure that pushes Entertainment value to the max!
I feel most people simply remember TMR for its wonky PS2 Scorpion King CGi (which is a fair criticism btw) but it's got so much more going for it than I think it gets credit for. Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz's chemistry is fantastic and they are the perfect leads for such a lively fantasy adventure. The film still retains the same charm of the original and has a fair few standout moments: The Bus Chase, Water Bending, the creepy Forest monkeys & I think the finale in the pyramid is pure fun filled madness.
Let's be real, this movie was never going to garner critical acclaim or win a tonne of accolades, but I don't think it deserves to be remembered purely as a dud (or even forgotten altogether). If I watch The Mummy, I pretty much always watch the Mummy Returns so I guess that's good enough proof that it's a competent & rewatchable sequel. I would even go as far as to say it's legitimately a good movie!
