Russell Mulcahy's sequel to the spin off of the Mummy Returns is the early days of the Rock's character involving the quest for vengeance for the death of his father and other the freeing of a repressed kingdom. Looking like a good TV movie this could have been interesting if the cast could actually have turned in better than adequate performances. The slow diction of the bad guy alone is responsible for an additional ten minutes in screen time. The idea that we should enunciate is all well and good but there should be some emotion and a normal rate to the speech. The action is fine and the fantastical elements are okay and under the right conditions this could be an okay time passer. Worth a look when it hits cable...on a slow night.
