I'd rate the first Mummy as the best. Flawed and derivative but a hell of a lot of fun to watch, and some classic one-liners and great casting. The second one was okay, but not quite as fun, but Arnold Vosloo makes a good mummy, and at least it had the tragic love story angle that made it interesting. The third doesn't really have that, and the family angle with Alex all grown up just got tedious.
Yr mileage may vary, obviously, but out of five stars (I don't do 1-10 scales for some reason) I'd rate Mummy a 3.5, Mummy Returns a 2.5, and Chinese Mummy a 2.
