Since that would be bad for the rest of us, the O'Connells, Evelyn's idiot brother Jonathan (John Hannah) and their mysterious guardian angel Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr) set off again to put all these dead creatures back in their sarcophagi.
If the Scorpion King can be defeated, Imhotep and his gang will gain control of the army of Anubis, an invincible band of werewolf like troops that would allow the mummy to rule the world.
The mummy Imhoteep (Arnold Vosloo), dispatched by Rick and Evelyn in the first movie, is resurrected again by evil forces who need him to battle another ancient villain, the Scorpion King (professional wrestling's The Rock, who should definitely not uit his day job).
If the sequel surpasses the original, it's not for the computer effects. The Mummy Returns is at its strongest with some cleverly staged real-world stunts. The computer animation, while impressive, occasionally looks so cartoonish it detracts and distracts from the movie.
Adventurous rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and brainy Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) are married now and living in London with their precocious son, Alex (Freddie Boath).
By definition of sequel one-ups-manship. Sommers had to outdo The Mummy for digitally created monsters. But all the gazillions of giant bugs, jungle dwarves, Anubis warriors and other beasties don't make The Mummy Returns a better movie. There's just more computer-generated creations running around, faster, louder and, at times, headache-inducing.
The Mummy Returns silly, yet tempting
By David Germain AP Movie Writer
The Mummy Returns is as big, dumb, corny and overloaded with visual excess as its predecessor. And like The Mummy, a surprise hit two years ago, the sequel offers a lot of good-natured fun (he said guiltily).
Set in 1933, eight years after The Mummy, the sequel reunites the survivors (and decedents) from the first movie.
also made the first movie, does a nice job pushing the buttons that worked two years ago while ladling on new layers of silliness.
Unlike so many bratty kids introduced into action franchises, Boath's Alex enhances the cast with cute pluck and humor. Fraser gets to behave a bit more bookishly, while Weisz throws more punches as the old-married O'Connells rub on each other.
The most refreshing thing about this sequel is that it doesn't try to step back and put the romantic leads at odds the way they were in the first movie. Sommers says he wanted to break that sequel cliché by showing the O'Connells as a couple more in love as the years pass. Nice touch.
