Short and Sweet

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2001)

This movie sucked BIGTIME. Theres my review for all to read, and its coming from someone who enjoyed the first one. This aneurism of a movie takes away all that made the first film such a sleeper hit with me. Gone is the humorous and somewhat quick banter between that showed actors fleshing out underdeveloped characters, to be replaced with the lamest two bit overly dramatic and unrealized crap a writer can think of. Remember that body sucking fatality that the mummy used to kill victims off screen in a sort of Temple of Doom fashion; well its shown here in all its digital glory and what can I say but,No. I can't accept this as being something that shouldn't be shown. Just go back to not showing it so I can have my fun of imagining what its supposed to look like. Theres so many things wrong with this flick I thought I'd talk about to things that I liked. One was the scene involving the little boy pestering his captor by asking Are We There Yet, which went on for about a whole minute before the man was driven insane. That little bit reminded me of what was good in the first one. Another thing was the mummified Pygmies. Those things were so cool and without a doubt the most awesome things in the movie I wish I could recommend it because of them alone. But I cant. Oh and for those supporters of this so called Popcorn Flick, too much butter salt on the popcorn isn't good for you. See the truth, this film is just one long and overly drawn out headache.
