O'Connor (he's consistently funny, and the dialogue between him and Rick or Jonathan is hilarious).


Shaun Parkes is a much better source of comic relief than Kevin J. His screen appeal rivals Macauley Culkin at his best. There are a few new characters as well, including young Freddie Boath, who is excellent as Alex. Arnold Vosloo gets to do more with his character, and Patricia Velasquez (who has about 10 times as much screen time as she did in the first film) has a lot of fun acting like Jennifer Lopez's alter-ego. All the characters from the first film in the franchise are back, and they slide into their parts easily. Of course, it's up to Rick and Evelyn to stop them. After finding the bracelet of the mythical Scorpion King, they're attacked by villains who are intent on raising Imhotep from the dead (again) so he can kill the Scorpion King and take over the world. Rick (Brendan Fraser) has married his love from the first film, Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), and the have a son, Alex (Freddy Boath). The sequel does more or less the same thing, except that the action sequences come pretty much one after another from beginning to end. The original (the 1999 one) was a lot of fun because it mixed creepy scares with awesome action and goofy humor. All rights reserved.The success of "The Mummy" in 1999 surprised everyone, and on the day that it opened, Universal Studios greenlit another sequel.
