They sure were in a hurry to finish this movie

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2001)

The movie in itself is satisfying. Lots of action and some pretty spectacular special effects. The storyline was obviously built to support the visual effects, instead of being the visual effects supporting the storyline. Allright! My kind'a movie! At times in the movie, it was obvious that a little more money (and a lot more of time) would have done wonders to some of the effects. f.ex. the Scorpion kind had almost no facial texture, and was generally not wery well made. Also they had to fix Imhotep (i.e. make him less mummy and more human) quite early in the movie, which was obviously done to save resources. the ending was especially affected by this fenomeno. The death of Anck-Su-Namun was kind of weak, especially since she had a lot more screen-time than in the first movie. At some point the movie also got a little too ridiculous. Everybody seemed to be the reincarnation of some hero/mistress/seer/whatever. Anyway, its worth watching and if they ever send out a Mummy-pack DVD I'll be the first one to by it, being a huge FX fan.
