Resurrection is a bitch. Not so much for this titular
Mummy, but for
us, the audience trapped in this lopsided, multimillion-dollar pyramid piece. Like so many a miswrapped corpse, this flick's storyline is only used to strap together wild action sequences. In this case, we get a tidal-wave chase, cool zombie army battles and--sorry WWFers--like, 10 seconds of the Rock.
(And if that's what you want, fine. Just don't blame us when you're bored, waiting for the next fight.) Indiana Fraser and now-wife
Rachel Weisz return as the wisecracking tomb-raiding team who only want to rescue their son (Freddie Boath). But, of course, their earth-saving destiny kicks in, and the duo ends up on the wrong side of a bunch of bad-ass ancient Egyptians. In its favor, the flick knows how to undercut its apocalyptic brouhaha with silliness and entertaining bits involving the little tyke. Too bad the biggest laughs come when it takes itself seriously.
