Delightful Braincandy
The best thing about this movie was that they avoided the pitfall that most sequels make: they wisely brought back ALL of the relevant characters, they respected the original storyline enough to make cute references and the evolution of the characters from the end of the first movie to the beginning of this one was not only believable, but also very intelligent.Was the movie as intelligent? No, but it's not supposed to be. For fans who loved the the first movie because of the CHARACTERS and their RELATIONSHIP, the sequel was a gem.For fans who loved the first movie for other reasons, it could probably be diappointing (not to mention the incomplete CGI on The Scorpion King's face at the end). But thanks to a fun, light, great action and a sexy, lustable and highly entertaining cast, all else is easily forgiven.
