Probably the loudest soundtrack ever!

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2001)

A fast action pace from beginning to end. Children are generally awful in films but Freddie Boath (Alex O'Connell) was a real exception and enjoyed some of the funnier moments in the film. All the principles reprise their roles from the first film with the only new character being the introduction of the 'Rock' as the Scorpion King. I'm not sure but it was probably for the best that he had limited screen time.
Nothing is added to the characters from the first film. The cgi work is appalling and the scorpion king looks terrible. Certainly inferior to what was seen in SW:TPM. The 'blimp' thing is horrible. I find it easy to suspend belief in the supernatural aspects of the story but this vehicle just didn't work for me. There were no real surprises in the effects work and it was really just a carry over in most respects from the first film.
