If Stephen Sommers's first Mummy movie looted retro adventure films like Indiana Jones and collided them with Egypto-horror, at least it did so with its tongue firmly in its bandaged cheek. Visualdsp 5 Keygen. While the sequel The Mummy Returns is faster, more furious, has 10 squillion special effects (I counted them) and wanders farther afield to plunder its imagery (from Gladiator to Jason and the Argonauts, Cleopatra to The Thief of Baghdad), it is a considerably lesser movie. The wham-bam-can'tstop-to-explain-the-plot-now-ma'am impetus doesn't let up for more than two hours, which may be exactly what the psychologist ordered for a hyperactive 12-year-old with the attention span of an autistic flea but is likely to become a tad tiresome for anyone who has read at least one book in their entire lives. Thus we have the movie as computer game writ large; a film in which the 'actors' play second fiddle to the carpet-bombing CGI effects. Battalions of jackal warriors (Anubian slaves?) charging across the desert dunes, pygmy mummies who bite your legs, walls of water that engulf our heroes while leaving them virtually dry, an oasis that springs up in the desert like an amphetamine-fuelled pointillist painting. It all adds up to so much less.

There's a smartass kid thrown in for good measure - JK Rowling's got a lot to answer for - in the shape of eight-year-old Alex (Freddie Boath), son of former Legionnaire hero Rick (Brendan Fraser) and gorgeous, pouting Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), who is, we gather, braver than him and smarter than her. He can even recreate his mother's cack-handedness by accidentally knocking down a row of ancient pillars like dominoes in the same way Evelyn collapsed a series of book shelves in the last movie. Truly, he is his Mummy's son. The plot - which is well-nigh incomprehensible and occasionally gets a fleeting gesture by an 'amusingly' accelerated line of exposition - involves the original slaphead Mummy Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) plus a new threat in the shape of The Scorpion King (WWF wrestler The Rock) and his jackal warriors, who have lain asleep (like Arthur's knights) beneath the desert sands for millennia until summoned by the latest computer software. Then there are the visions that beset Evelyn from the start - a sure sign that she is the reincarnation of Nefertiti, who somehow had a bit of a barney with Imhotep's inamorata Anck-Su-Namun, who is also revived in the rather delectable form of Patricia Velasquez. This development allows for some hotsy-totty girl-on-girl action scenes in which the two babes beat the unliving daylights out of each other like a cross between Girlfight and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
