I got what I paid for...

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2001)

Sand, sand and more sand and amongst it all quite a nice and tidy movie, although I preferred the original. The scenery and the fight scenes between opposing armies are spectacular and the special effects are quite outstanding. A great cast (Brendan Frasier is excellent in his 'Mummy' roles) does a very good job with a story which I felt tended to 'reach' for surprises a little at times. The jokes were, at times, a little thin and came just short of waggling the eyebrows to highlight a punchline. If a thrill-a-minute movie is what you are after then this is a movie that should be high on your list of must-sees but I do tend to prefer a movie with a little more substance. This is definitely a movie I would see again, if only for the special effects.
