The Mummy Returns (review)
More. Bigger. Faster. Louder. That’s the typical recipe for a sequel, and that’s why sequels often end up feeling like parodies of the films that spawned them. Is The Mummy Returns bigger, faster, and louder than 1999’s The Mummy? Yup. Is it but a bulked-up shadow of its predecessor? Not quite. But it probably would’ve stood a better chance of really wowing me if I didn’t have the superior original as a basis for comparison.
