Not your average sequel

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2003)

Now, admittedly, I adore Brendan Frasier, and think he can do no wrong. However, that said, I remember walking out of the theatre with a huge grin on my face. I really enjoyed this movie. This cast works exceedingly well together, and they didn't just rehash the same old jokes again. The storyline's quite different, and the action scenes are, if anything, better. Yes, there are plotholes, particularly when you combine the two stories of the original movie and the sequel, and the immense commercial throughought the movie for the Scorpion King movie with the Rock was horrificaly bad. (At least that movie went down like a lead balloon. Imagine, a wrestler trying to do an egyptian warrior. Doesn't work for me. Then again, I didn't see that one. I wasn't interested.) Even my sister, who does not like horror films, had fun with this one. I do recommend it, especially to those who like the love story in the first one.
