A steaming pile of...

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 2001)

OK, I hated the "first" mummy and went into this one (dragged by a group of friends out for a Friday movie) expecting more of the same (stupid plot, bad acting and great special effects.) Boy did I get all of that in spades.
It sickens me that a movie with such a completely hideous plot and script can rake in money like this one has so far. This movie is a perfect example of the movie going audience sending a message to the studios saying, "don't worry about an interesting story, don't worry about descent acting, don't worry about having characters that you care about, just crank up the CGI machines and let special effects carry your films."
I can already hear the bean counters in Hollywood slapping together a 2-cent script and booting up the SGI machines for "The Mummy Returns Again".
(3/10) (8 for special effects, -5 for everything else)
