good movie, bad acting

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2001)

Overall, the sequel surpasses the first. However, the **biggest** mistake they made in the first place was hire Brendan Fraiser as the hero. His acting completely ruins this aspect of the film, along with the snotty, annoying little kid, who in turn gives it that 'little kid movie' feel. The ideas and story were terrific, special effects were amazing, although the cinematography of the big water scene is too cartoony (along with the Scorpion King's face). The Rock did a good job playing Scorpion King and Ardeth was an admirable character. Imohtep did a pretty good job too. If you can get past all the cheesy annoying crap, then its a great action flick.
Overall 7.7/10
