I enjoyed this one too.

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2010)

The Mummy returns isn't as good as the original. It isn't as original. It also isn't as fun. And it is a little annoying at times. But this film certainly isn't a dud. It's a very entertaining film. Like the original, it is never boring. Whatever laughs it aims for only works cause of John Hannah.
In the sequel to the 1999 box office hit, The Oconnells(played by Brendan Fraser and Rachael Weiz) have moved on with their lives. Kind of. They still go to tombs and stuff. But now they are married and have a son named Alex. A really annoying child. Probably the worst thing about the sequel.
But their lives change once again. When Evy gets kidnapped in the middle of the night. Rick, Alex, Johnathon, and their old friend-ish Adereth go after her. She is taken to a museum where she is forced to unleash the Mummy Imotep(played by Arnold Vosloo). Where he plans to unleash terror yet again.
The thing about the sequel that I didn't like as much as the original is that it is annoying. The Oconnell's son is. There are many moments recycled from the original. Such as when Imotep makes his face in the ocean. Or really, if you think about it, the plot alone. Exclude the fact that the plot also involves Evy and Rick looking for their son. So the movie has it's flaws. But it is never boring. And it kept my attention the whole way through.
