The Scorpion King is losing his war and one by one the army died on the desert of Ahm Shere. To survive, The Scorpion King swore an oath to the God of the underworld, Anubis, in exchanging his soul for the power to defeat his enemies. Anubis granted the wish and created an oasis to hide the Scorpion King pyramid and provided the army of Anubis to exact his revenge. But when the war is won, Anubis claimed the Scorpion King's soul.
5000 years later in 1933, the O'Connell family is exploring the pyramid and found the bracelet of Anubis. When they went back to London, Alex put on the bracelet and provided him the direction to oasis of Ahm Shere. Alex has only 7 days to reach the oasis before the sun rise on the 8th day, or else he will be burn to death. But Alex was caught by Imhotep, the high priest who knows black magic with Meela Nais, his reincarnation lover, Anck-su-namun.

Watched this few years ago, was amaze by how great the movie is. But you know, some movies might make the big hoo-haa during the cinema time, but after a few years when u watch it again, its kinda like so so only... and i found it quite stupid in some of the scene.
Rachel Weisz was so dumb and acted badly back then, just a pretty face and that's all. And i don't understand why i fancy so much about Brendan Fraser at those time, he looks so silly~ lolz... The whole movie is quite ok, i should not say its bad, but definitely not as good as the first movie and the mummy 3.

ReplyDeleteRachel Weisz was the only good things about Mummy Returns, she was great. If you don't believe me, see Mummy 3 and notice the difference when she's not there.
