special f/x overshadowed by romantic tone.

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2001)

the mummy 2 will blow you away with the computer generated armies, etc. but i came away from this movie thinking it should be classified as romantic comedy rather than action. much of the movie focuses on the marriage of rick and evie and the love for their son alex. i enjoyed the story and i thought it was intriguing. i was let down by the minimal screen time of "the rock". the next installment "the scorpion king" will have more of the rock in it i hope. overall i was disappointed by the mummy returns.
