Love it to death!

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2010)

The sequel to the granddaddy of all adventure films is truly mind-blowing, action packed, excellent, and a must-buy. It is ten times better than the original and that was the bomb. So if that was the bomb what would you call this? A WARHEAD packed with enough nuclear atoms to blow you out of your seat and all the way to Hollywood. The acting is even better than it's predecessor and it surely does contain more humor than the last along with better enemies. Stephen Sommers knew how to make one of the best sequels ever by including what the first film didn't have: Cooler and stronger enemies, more character development, better story, more adventure-themed style, and a great cast that has Brendan Fraser, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and the beautiful Rachael Weisz. The new addition to the family is Rick's and Evelyn's son, Alex O'Connell (played by Freddie Boath). He is what every other boy wants to be. He is smart and witty, fearless, his personality is like any other boys but something about him makes people have a liking to him. The biggest surprise is the SCORPION KING played by Dwayne "Rock" Johnson but he is all animated and looks fake and he sure does make one of the best enemies in film history. This film is fun and original while it also maintains knowledge for the young ones.
After selling his soul to Anubis, Mathayus, a young warrior commands Anubis's whole fleet of soldiers and wrecks chaos. Thousands of years later, an artifact known as the Bracelet Of Anubis is discovered by the O'Connell's but what they don't know is that High Priest Imhotep has risen from the dead once again and is after the bracelet for it holds great power. The only problem that stops him from getting the Bracelet is Alex O'Connell, son of Rick, has attached the bracelet to his wrist and the only way to take it off is.... (a long story). If the Scorpion King is defeated, Priest Imhotep will be the new owner of Anubis's fleet and with that power he will make the world bow down to him. The O'Connell's and their friend Ardeth Bay have to fight once again through mummies, soldiers, weird stick creatures, in order to save their son and most importantly, save the world.
The action is tremendous and non-stop as the O'Connell's leave a trail of mummies behind them. The enemies play an important part in the film and it is really cool when they are being blown up to smithereens. The best enemies are probably the running mummies and the army of Anubis. People are complaining that the special effects are trash, and they maybe are, but that not the point of the movie. The effects are good but the story is even better. Who needs special effects when they have an excellent story? Brendan Fraser, Rachael Weisz, John Hannah, Oded Fehr, have good acting talents because they were made to play their roles. A few old enemies will make appearances in this film, like Imhotep, Anck-Su-Namun, and who could forget the lovely black beetles. The third film in the series is cr*p and should be avoided and you should instead watch Mummy Returns instead. (Spoiler!!!)The best scenes in the whole movie are the hot-air balloon being chased by water and the stick- men fight. Hilarious! Haters probably like complaining with everything and their comments should be discarded. If you guys haven't watched this, you must be living on mars because good movies hardly come out and the mummy is one of the good ones.
