Not bad...buuuutttt

First...Oded Fehr..the man is magnificent..screen presence and he can ACT. Watch out Brenden, Antonio Banderas AND Russell Crowe...if someone finds this guy a decent starring role either as an action star or as a romantic lead (and please..no drug lord/shoot 1000 badguy role) and he's going to be off the the races.
Second...it was eye candy. The kid was good. Just enough of a brat to make him remind me of my teenaged sons. And he showed enough guts even to impress Imhotep.
I liked it but it's hardly War and Peace..but then I wasn't going there for anything but mindless entertainment so who cares?
Finally..one MAJOR plot hole. Imhotep's main squeeze, Aksunahman...she's done some pretty hairy fighting for him, she's given up her hold on the Pharoah for him, committed murder (and sacrilege, for that matter), killed herself for him, risen from the dead and plunged straight ahead risking eternal damnation for him, fought the whole world and risked imminent demise for him time after time after time, she's even kissed an asp for him..and in the end she won't cross a shaky room and try and pull his love striken butt out of a pit like Rachael does for Brenden..because she's SCARED???...somehow that doesn't seem in character at all! Where's the faith? The devotion? The unquestioning loyalty? The "Oh, mommy, I'm too scared of the falling rocks" look on her face was pathetic...and totally out of place.
Nuff said. See it for the fun and the one liners. (And the balloon..reminded me of Adventures of Baron von Munchausen)
