Fun Sequel

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2001)

I got my money's worth -- plenty of computer imagery, lots of noise, and a fun story.
Once again, nobody is going to forget Boris Karloff because of this mummy movie, but it is a good action ride. The interesting twist on the story is that we have good guy vs. bad guy vs. bad guy. And it's all done with a zany sense of humor that made the previous film enjoyable.
There are more rituals than you can shake an Egyptian asp at, some reminiscent of Indiana Jones films. The voice of the mummy when he is reincarnating is a delishious blend of Darth Vader and Jabba the Hut. What more could you ask?
I found the pacing a bit tedious in the third act, and some of the scenes looked exactly like what they were -- computer images. But it's a beautiful little vacation into the mysteries of ancient Egypt. If you go, don't forget to bring your mummy. (Sorry -- couldn't resist.)
