Bury this mummy

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2006)

While the 1999 remake of "The Mummy" is a far cry from the original film, more adventure tale than horror show, it was not bad in it's own right. This sequel however, lacks the charm of that remake.
It quickly throws together the cast of the last film in a plot that could pass the muster if only it weren't bogged down by the addition of a groan-inducing "cute kid", more anachronisms per minute than one can comfortably excuse, cheesy dialogue and an over reliance on CGI effects.
While not all bad, the movie in fact has many great sequences, particularly the fight scenes which are better choreographed than most action films, still although there are lots of good parts in the movie, overall it proves to be much less than the sum of it's parts. Best suited for Saturday afternoon viewing on television.
