Special Effects Extravaganza
This movie is not without problems. The main hero, played by Brendan Fraser, was a likable wise-cracking swashbuckler in the first movie, but has been reduced to a mere cardboard mythical warrior that all but destroys the original character of the first installment of this series. Also, the character played by the Rock, appears in the first five minutes of the movie and returns at the end as an incredibly poor special effect. I'm sorry but this is one of the few times where I didn't like special effects taking the place of the actors. On the bright side, this movie does have exciting moments and Oded Fehr, Shaun Parkes who playedIzzy the dirigible pilot and the guy who played Loc-Nah are all scene-stealers.
