The Mummy Returns blends thrilling action sequences with a dash of humor and mythology, making for an entertaining watch despite its occasional overreliance on CGI and some plot contrivances. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return with great chemistry, supported by a robust cast that includes a memorable, if not CGI-heavy, role by Dwayne Johnson as the Scorpion King. The movie’s pacing is fast, sometimes to the detriment of character development, but it delivers on the promise of high adventure and supernatural intrigue, solidifying its place in the early-2000s action-adventure genre.
