what a disappointment.

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2001)

Well, what can I say. I was looking forward to this movie from day one, but it just doesn't live up to expectations.Compared with the original, it just doesn't have the magic. It was lacking in the humour that made The Mummy so entertaining. Stephen Sommers appears to have gone along with the philosophy that if you have a winning theme, you can forsake story line and characterisation and depth if you throw enough sfx at the audience.It was over long and so packed with sfx that it stands as a testament to the effects peoples art and little else.With the cast available this could have been a cracker,shame it wasn't. Dwayne Johnsons appearence was so over publicised, you see his whole "performance" in the trailers.This could have been so good.
