	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The mistake of 'The Mummy Returns' is to abandon the characters, and to use the plot only as a clothesline for special effects and action sequences (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A piss-poor mummy movie indeed that doesn't deliver a damn thing worth preserving."	NEG
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Two years ago 'The Mummy' breathed new life into an old form. 'The Mummy Returns' does the opposite. It takes a lively premise, kills it and wraps it in tight bandages."	NEG
United States	Curt Fields The Washington Post	"It's part comic book, part old-time serial, part video game. "The Mummy Returns" may not be the brightest entry in this season's movie lineup, but it has the good sense not to say more than it has to."	NEU
United Kingdom	Caroline Westbrook Empire	"Those who disliked the first movie will find nothing to persuade them that this is a franchise worth bothering with, but for fans, The Mummy Returns delivers fun and spectacle (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Yes, many of the visual effects are stunning, but others are downright cheesy (...) The action sequences are just as uneven and repetitious"	NEG
