Critics Consensus

In The Mummy Returns, the special effects are impressive, but the characters seem secondary to the computer generated imagery.

A piss-poor mummy movie indeed that doesn't deliver a damn thing worth preserving.

3.5/5

Between the thrilling action scenes, excellent chemistry between the actors, memorable soundtrack, and moments that allow us to empathise with the antagonists (!), "The Mummy Returns" turns out to be a pleasant surprise. [Full review in Spanish].

[Stephen] Sommers is a pure pop Stephen Spielberg but this chapter is less 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' than 'Gunga Din,' a pulp update of old Hollywood action movies.

This 90s-born, elder Millennial has been fortunate enough to experience The Mummy franchise purely on the big screen via re-releases (The Mummy in 2024 + The Mummy Returns 2026). ALL OF THE STARS
