Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2001)

This movie was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I was initially put off from the original Mummy, thinking that it was a horror flick, but after hearing more about it, I realized that it was more of a 30's action-wrapped-in-a-comedy film. The sequel follows the same basic recipe, but throws in a dash of The Rock and a few more strange creatures to add a little spice. The graphics were a visual amusement park that I had a blast riding. Plus, it was kind of nice seeing an American movie that had some Arabs as good guys in it- they weren't the only ones or even the main ones- but it was a refreshing change. I've heard they are already making a spin off with The Rock as the Scorpion King, maybe they could consider a spin off for Ardent too.
