A Great Follow Up To The Mummy!, With Plenty Of Exciting Action And Fantastic Performances Once Again!

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2005)

This is a great follow up to the Mummy!, with plenty of exciting action and wonderful performances once again!. All the characters are great!, and the story is really cool as well, Plus while it can't match The Mummy it's still top notch for a sequel. I thought the special effects were cool even though the CGI was extremely obvious and the final was especially awesome, plus Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz had very good chemistry together once more. It had some awesome villains in Imhotep(Vosloo),Lock-Nah(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Patricia Velasquez(Anck Su Namun), and all the characters were really likable!, plus Freddie Boath is surprisingly good as the young Alex and didn't annoy me at all. Yes it's weak script wise, but come on!, it's still really enjoyable if you put your brain in check!, plus there are a couple of great emotional moments in the film as well, especially at the end involving Imhotep!.The set pieces and setting are both great!,a nd there is some great humor thrown in just like the 1st as well!, plus I loved the opening narration and all the flashbacks of The Scorpion King and Anck Su Namun,Princess Nefertiri!. This is a great follow up to the mummy!, with plenty of exciting action and fantastic performances once again, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good!. Stephen Sommers does a very good! job here with great camera work, cool visuals, good angles and lots of other cool shots as well, plus he kept the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is awesome. Brendan Fraser is wonderful here once again, he had all of the assets as he did in the 1st,, had very good chemistry with Rachel Weisz, had some cool lines,and kicked that ass! (Fraser Rules!!).Rachel Weisz is gorgeous and does excellent here once more, while she didn't have as much to do, she still did an excellent job, and held her own opposite Fraser yet again!, they are two of the reasons why these Mummy movies are so enjoyable. John Hannah is hilarious once again, and cracked me up throughout and brought great comic relief. Arnold Vosloo is fantastic, only problem is he is not the only clear villain in this so he didn't have as much to do, still he had tons of presence!, i really dug him. Oded Fehr is very good here again i really like his character and he fought very well!.The Rock didn't have to act here in his role, but he rocked anyways!, More of him would have been nice!. (The Rock Rules!!!!!!!). Freddie Boath is surprisingly good as The kid, and didn't annoy me in fact he was rather likable!.Patricia Velasquez is hot and did well as both of her characters!.Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is very good, he is funny and also had quite a presence. Shaun Parkes is funny as Izzy i liked him. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall i highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
