The first film succeeded because it wasn't afraid to poke fun at the action-adventure genre while still supplying the action and special effects that we all crave. New to the scene is the son of the happy couple (the main one, not the Mummy & girlfriend), who gets himself involved in the other couple's (the Mummy & girlfriend) ploy to take over the world. Returning characters Im-Ho-Tep (the original Mummy), Anck-Su-Namun (his body-painted girlfriend), Ardeth Bay (desert good-guy), and Evie's brother Jonathan complete the sequel transition in a smooth fashion. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are married now, and I think there is even more energy between them than when they first met. While probably not a candidate for best picture honors next March, this second round does a very credible job of holding up to the original and entertaining the audience as well. See this movie right away, however get tickets early or else you will be left out in the sand.ДЄs the first movie of the summer blockbuster season, and as the sequel to the surprise hit of 1999, expectations are high for 'The Mummy Returns.' The movie just got better the second time around. Well I won't give away the plot line but I saw it two times opening weekend and the long lines were worth it. Imotemp 'the mummy' is being awakening for the sequel, joining him is his love interest, Auk-sun-amun. Following along the same type of plot line as the original. The awesome couple and son are back on a dig in Egypt after Evelyn has a weird dream that she just can't shake. Evelyn (Weisz)and Rick (Fraser) are now married with an eight year old son, Alex. The movie picks up ten years after the orginal. The special effects have matured greatly since the original. It also fills your plate with comedy, suspense, romance, and many others.

The sequel has a lot more action than the first one.

The movie brings back the all-star cast from the original and adding to its line up is the WWF star: the Rock.
