As a result, the story suffers and the characters, who were the best thing in the first movie, are overshadowed by the extraordinary events surrounding them. The hokum levels are off the scale. It is better not to worry about why dead people come to life, mummies run sideways across the face of buildings like Jurassic Park hybrids and Evelyn is the reincarnation of an Egyptian princess. The plot allows Sommers to indulge his imagination, without constraints of budget or credibility. What matters is that Alex is kidnapped, Rick and Evelyn give chase and end up in the desert with most of the cast from two years ago.
Visual surprises make up for the absurdity of the storyline.
In addition to the heroine, there is much beauty to be found. The Moroccan locations have a grandeur that surpasses disbelief. Rick is good-hearted and brave. Evelyn is loyal and determined. They don't have rows, they have discussions, although when attacked by supernatural creatures they tend to act on impulse, which means fast and on target.
