Review Summary
Imhotep is back, and he kidnaps Rick & Evie's eight-year-old son to get what he wants. The follow him across the desert to another, bigger, badder guy, The Scorpion King (The Rock) who, guess what - wants to take over the world. This movie has a lot of action, some amazing fight scenes and special effects that are worth watching it for.
Topaz, Resident Scholar

The sequel to The Mummy when Rick and his wife have a son who takes after his mother. The son is kidnapped by the Mummy because of an artifact the boy has that will let him raise the army of the Scorpion King (The Rock). Lots of good action and humor. Good FX.
