Arnold Vosloo owns this movie

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2005)

Egyptian priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) is killed after the Pharoah catches him with his woman and Imhotep and the slut murder him. Many many years later some Evelyn Carnahan inadvertently resurrects him while reading aloud from a sacred book. It's up to Rick O'Connell (Brandon Fraiser) to save the day. tend to judge movies in the genre in which there are (ie. I wouldn't judge a comedy the same as I'd judge a drama or an independent) That being said as fair as giant bombastic brainless summer action extravaganzas go, this one isn't half bad. Bredon Fraiser will NEVER be an action star, but his acting in this is serviceable enough. I can't help but feel that the movie would have been bettered if Stephen Sommers had nothing to do with it, yet compare to his work with "Van Helsing" and "the Scorpian King" will attest to, this IS the better movie. As strictly popcorn fare goes, one could do worse.
