A couple of the action sequences are taut and well paced, the finale not being one of them. A few of the comedic moments had me bowled over with laughter as well, but the comic relief in keeping with the first film's Kevin J. O'Connor consists of one character being consistently annoying and never once funny. The crucial difference with the sequel is that the character is not annoying, he is a cypher and may as well not exist at all. By this time I sure you all know that I was disappointed by this ambitious but empty sequel. Good intentions, bad special effects and a seven minute prologue featuring the talentless Dwayne Johnson do not a good summer movie make.
Every film needs a catfight.

This is the kind of Dolby movie where evil-hearted theater projectionists will, in the words of This is Spinal Tap, turn the volume up to 11. Despite being direct ripoffs from Gremlins, the Pygmy Mummies are pretty cool.
