...this follow-up still lacks the wit and elan that would have made this burgeoning series more than a popcorn-picture franchise.
Full reviewBrendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and writer-director Stephen Sommers all return to their posts in the follow-up to 1999's supernatural action-adventure, The Mummy. New to the cast is Dwayne Johnson as The Scorpion King.
Rick (Fraser) and Evelyn O'Connell (Weisz), along with their 8 year old son Alex (Freddie Boath), discover the key to the legendary Scorpion King's (Johnson) might, the fabled Bracelet of Anubis. Unfortunately, a newly resurrected Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) has designs on the bracelet as well, and isn't above kidnapping its new bearer, Alex, to gain control of Anubis's otherworldly army.
