Pyramid Scheme
Rick and Edie O'Connell are back, along with Edie's ne'er-do-well brother Jonathan, the evil mummy Imhotep, foxy, deadly Ank-sanamun (Patricia Velasquez yay!! she's back!!!), and the handsome Arded Bey as the mysterious Medjai knight in this rollicking sequel that DOES live up to the first movie. The O'Connells now have a nine-year old boy named Alex. He is an archaeology whiz like his mom (even "smarter than" her, as Rick says). Alex knows ancient Egyptian and hangs around the British museum.Unfortunately, someone else is hanging around the British museum. The curator has gathered followers of Imhotep, including the physical reincarnation of Imhotep's true love, Ank-sanamun, to resurrect the mummy. There is a new player in this ancient battle: the Scorpion King, played by The Rock. The Scorpion King also wants to take over the world. The first to resurrect the armies of Anubis will succeed.I loved this movie just as much as the first, and that is saying alot. I have been let down by sequels so many times. Thankfully, The Mummy Returns is a great sequel. I would love to see them resurrect a third.
