"The Mummy Returns" is significantly weaker than the first film. Rather than explore a new story, the movie had to rehash plot points from the first one. The reincarnation aspects were forced, the Scorpion King was an afterthought (just look at the CGI) and Imhotep was a shell of himself.
Ultimately, the worst decision made by this franchise was introducing a child into the story. I used to say that Short Round was the most annoying child in cinema, but I've changed my mind. Alex has now taken the top spot.
While I liked seeing Rick and Evy back in action, and some of the fight scenes were cool, there wasn't much else to enjoy about this movie.
