if youre thrill by amuse one liner and nonstop special effect of all kind of weird creature and then youre sure to enjoy this second mummy picture . if not and you will probably turn it off after a few minute . the first mummy picture be quite good and in that it manage to fit in character and plot amongst the big budget special effect . the first picture show that universal movie monster could easily be remake into big budget and special effect extravaganza and and still be good . everything i like about the first movie ( minus the character ) be overdo to the extreme here and and about halfway through or early and i find myself loathe this picture . the overall feeling though be not one of hatred . this be just an overplotted mess and with moderate entertainment value throughout . rick oconnell ( brendan fraser ) be back and nine year after the first movie ( i think it be two and but whatever ) and and he and evelyn ( racchel weisz ) be marry and have an 8 year old kid and alex ( freddie boath ) . imhotep ( arnold vosloo ) mummy have be bring back to life and and he want the bracelet of immortality and which be now in the hand of rick and company . the bracelet control the scorpion king ( play in a pointless cameo by the rock ) army and which consist of easy to defeat dog who with one hit turn to sand . chaos ensues throughout . if you aren not pay attention in this movie and or you miss the first ten minute and you will be extremely confused . heck and you could be pay attention the whole movie and still be confuse . so much be go on and and so many special effect and new plot line be shove in your face way too often . special effect on the mummy and creature be pretty cool and but the big effect be just a huge headache and and they look very artificial . the plot be virtually nonexistent . i guess there be several plot line and but in between them be many sidetracked scene and and by the end and this just feel like a bunch of random scene shove together . this movie be full of cutesy moment . i be unsure a to why a mummy movie need any cutesy moment and but since this be mean for family and writer and director stephen sommers make this both violent and cutesy and comedic and so it never fully work a anything ( though it do work much good a an action movie than anything else ) . jonathan ( john hannah ) provide many of the movie cringe worthy line . he one of those character that be scar to death from anything and everything and and still quip out the bad joke . brendan fraser do the same and but he have a charm he bring to the character and and be one of the few positive of the movie . the kid alex be a good addition and and for some reason and he felt more mature and develop than most other part of the movie . overall and this be a pretty bad movie . it full of effect that add up to nothing and and character that do the same . there be some entertainment to be find and but you may find after you finish this and you will be in desperate need for something intelligent . my rating represent half out of . 125 min . pg 13 for violence .
