Much like Rick, Evie has grown up in the nine years between the events of the first film and this one (although only two years passed between the releases of both films), but still is at her core Evie.

I think a lot of the credit goes to Freddie Boath, the actor who played Alex and turned him into a real character.Д¦) Did you think I wasnвЂ™t going to sign EvieвЂ™s praises like I did in my last recap? WELL THINK AGAIN! Sassy but not a total prick, and smarter than people give him credit for. I donвЂ™t know what public consensus is on Alex, and I do know that sometimes young children in these kinds of films can come off as annoying, but I like him! HeвЂ™s an honest portrayal of a kid. I donвЂ™t think anyone else could play the character as well. He brings the same charm, charisma, and just interesting acting he had in the first film. I think although he was a little like this in the original film, it really is a more defining trait in this one.Д«rendan Fraser is great as always as Rick, which will probably be his most famous role. When we first meet him he shows caution, preparedness, heвЂ™s sneaking around an old ruins and is ready for a fight.

Rick is still as lovable and roguish as he was in the first Mummy film, but now heвЂ™s got the added layer of being a loving husband and father. I kind of want to watch those movies for that reason alone.ДЈ) The action scenes in this film are still top notch, as seen in the prologueвЂ™s battle between the Scorpion King and enemy armies. So the fact that the Scorpion King has a B-movie franchise still running after his A-movie intro is comparable to Kharis being the titular Mummy after the original Boris Karloff film. Think about it: where we have straight to video sequels the 1940s had B-movies. IвЂ™ve never seen that film all the way through (or any of its sequels), and in this film the character is mostly memorable for two reasons:ДЄlthough we donвЂ™t get much of a sense of his character in this film outside of the fact that he is a warrior king, I feel comfortable saying heвЂ™s his own Universal Monster in a lot of ways. This film really only features The Rock in the prologue, and then a CGI recreation of him during the climax, but it served to set up his spin-off film The Scorpion King. Albeit for different reasons.Дў) The Rock (he was going by The Rock at this time) as the Scorpion King.

As youвЂ™ll soon see, I love this film just as much as the first one. 1) So this film may not be the perfect blend of horror and adventure that the first one was (it sacrifices some of the scares for more thrills), but damn if it isnвЂ™t just a great ride.
