better than the first

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2001)

I thought the flick was much better than the first, as far as the writing was concerned. You didn't have the typical love-hate relationship mumbo-jumbo that was present in the first. The fighting, however, was so frequent that the scenes got older than the mummies themselves. Not that I'm opposed to fighting scenes, but I don't want that to occupy the whole story-line.
All in all, I recommend this film for home viewing. It's worth a view, but not the cost of seeing it in theaters. The special fx are incredible, but not the acting. Think of it as an expensive B-movie thriller. And don't forget the popcorn!
