Continues on at the same mad pace as the first one

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2007)

This is a sequel that. amazingly, is every bit as good as the first movie. Again the returning cast is excellent, with the always added pleasure of Alun Armstrong as the museum curator, and THE ROCK as the scorpion king. (Historical side note: There are records of an early ruler of part of Egypt around the time of the first dynasty called the Scorpion King, who conquered a large area near what is today Luxor.) All of the great elements of the first feature are back with directing duties going once more to Stephen Sommers. If you liked the first film you are going to love this one. Pair it up with THE MUMMY (1999) and THE SCORPION KING for a delightful evening of fun and adventure.
