Best Summer Movie since Terminator 2!!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2001)

THIS is how you make a summer blockbuster!!!! Exciting action scenes, cool special effects, decent acting, cool story....the only people who won't like this movie are the people who shouldn't see movies like this in the first place.
The first Mummy was pleasant, but a little too slight and jokey for my taste. This movie isn't particularly darker, but the fight scenes are much more kick-@ss (if a little too Matrix-inspired), and the story just feels more solid and involving than the first one. Granted, there isn't that much character development, but you'll still find yourself caring about the good guys, and even the bad guys as well.
My only complaint would be the over-hyping of The Rock. He was only in it for about 2 minutes, and didn't have any dialogue!!! Why cast one of the great speech-makers of our time and have him not say anything!?!
But all in all, this movie did what The PHANTOM MENACE should have done - provide fun, rabble-rousing, rip-roaring entertainment from beginning to end.
