Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Well, it wasn’t as bad as the second film, but was on par with the third film. It’s not terrible, it’s not great, it’s pretty much the height of mediocrity of fantasy flicks. The film spends way too long trying to convince the audience that magic isn’t real after all the other films in the series including the Mummy films. It’s a bit too long, but it has some decent enough stunts to go along with the ones that are obviously wire work, some funny moments to go with the ones that just don’t work, and a couple of big names that are just cameos even though they’re plastered at the top of the poster like they’re the main attraction like the third film. The biggest problem with these sequels is that The Rock isn’t playing Mathayus in any of them and given the quality of them, he’s probably very grateful. While Victor Webster is charming and mostly believable in the role, he’s no Dwayne Johnson.

Added to my queue. Looks goofy but totally the kind of thing I’d watch.

It was fun, for the most part, just didn’t really do anything interesting with the setting or characters for me.
