Only if you've seen everything else...including all videos

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2001)

Now, how can this movie be described....think of the original, add three new characters and that's about it.
The plot ranges from non-existent at best to ludicrous, over the top and down-right stupid at worst. Scenes from the original are repeated ad nauseum and anyone with more than four brain cells will be able to easily work out what happens from the trailer.
Ideas from the first movie are either "borrowed" or ignored completely such as the long and painstaking ritual of resurrection of the Dead is accomplished in less time by an 8 year old boy than Imotep, Master of Egyptian Magic.
The CGI is in many cases exactly what we would expect from a big budget movie. Unfortunately the makers obvious ran out of supercomputer time towards the end of the excruciatingly long movie and had to render the final scenes on a Commodore 64. This is particularly noticeable on Dwayne's big finale who obvious took time out from the computer game of the film.
Saying all of this, the action scenes are very well executed if never original or surprising. The fight direction does contain several elements which, personally I would like to see repeated in the Matrix 2 and other of the genre.
In all, not the worst movie this year, but getting there. If you want to see a thinking movie with a fresh and original plot, don't watch this. However, if you just want to switch off and watch a decent action movie with some humour and good special effects.....rent the original, it's much much better.
