Well done, except the premise

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2001)

Unexpectedly entertaining, great effects, great kid, better than the first movie. But, the same problem as the first movie...the premise behind the plot was all over the map. This movie could be done a hundred times over and they can just keep resurrecting the same characters...because nobody ever stays dead! All good horror flicks establish the rules which the good and bad guys cannot pass, which creates suspense and tension. Here, mummies can be hurt from a punch, but can run through brick walls with ease. In this world you can believe in spell casting, evil gods with armies, Judeo/Christian God, resurrection out of hell, reincarnation, and heaven all at once! But, ah well, I guess entertainment doesn't have to make sense to be fun!
