The villains are suitably frightening and ominous and have the occasional funny line too. A lot of the scares in this are similar to the first, so if your child watched that with no problem, then they should be fine with this.Īs always the main characters are likeable and funny and the new characters, like Rick and Evy's son Alex are very fun to watch. Another scene depicts the scarabs eating people, again much like the first one. There's a scene, much like in the first movie, where the mummy sucks the life out of people, this is off screen and done through shadows. There are a few frightening moments that had me terrified as a young child but older children shouldn't be too afraid.
Yes, there is very minor cussing in it but nothing to be alarmed by from a movie that's rated 12. The effects are almost laughably bad, especially the main villain but that being said it's a fun movie.
That said this movie is a lot less frightening than the first, in trying to go bigger and more dramatic they somewhat fail and border on ridiculous. I give it aįirst off, my rating is subjective, some kids will be more afraid than others because strangely everyone is different. It's certainly not an intellectual movie, but I didn't mind about that when watching it. I guess it is best to qualify this movie as some excellent way to pass some boring hours on a cold and rainy afternoon. will of course never exist in reality, but it certainly was nice to see. Don't expect anything real: a mummy coming to life, sucking the life out of people, armies of mythological creatures. Thanks to the humor, this movie was very enjoyable, but it is of course the many special effects that make this movie what it is. Normally this kind of movies takes itself much too serious, there is no place for any joke or funny situation at all. What made this movie work for me was the humor. It's all to clear that the director's first thought wasn't about the script but about the many special effects, but i still quite liked the movie. So what can I tell you? Well, the movie isn't as bad as I expected. Most people compare this sequel to the first movie 'The Mummy', which is a good thing of course, but I haven't seen the first one, so no comparisons from me.
