At the beginning of "The Mummy", the heroine Evy got into trouble. She is a librarian, but accidentally knocked down all the bookshelves like dominoes. The sequel is scheduled for 9 years later, shortly after the film begins, she and the actor O'connell's son Alex also knocked down some pillars in a pyramid in ancient Egypt, and they also collapsed like dominoes. For this, I can't help but admire the director. It doesn't appear to be superfluous or superfluous. This scene plays an important role in the development of the film. There were more than one echoes like this. Alex did not recognize a character when he chanted the spell in order to save his mother. He asked his uncle Jonathan, and finally saved his mother. The same complex also appeared in the first book. At that time, it was to destroy the resurrected mummy. Jonathan, who had not yet become an uncle, had to chant the spell in the "Sun Golden Sutra" at a critical moment, but there was also an unknown character, I asked my sister Evy, and finally succeeded in destroying the evil mummy. And these two characters turned out to be the same! We all know that this can be arranged by the director and can let us know that it is related. People who haven't watched the first part can't see the charm between their languages in the second part.
Compared with the first "The Mummy" which made a sensation in the world in 1999, the second step is obviously more commercial and the screenwriting is not good. Especially at the end, when the protagonist’s family was about to be submerged, the appearance of the hot air balloon was already foreseeable; and when the heroine Evy was stabbed to death, I immediately thought that I could use the spells in the "Black Book of the Dead" Resurrect her, and there is no deviation in the plot. Without the unpredictability when watching the first part, it is naturally not so attractive. It is not happy for the protagonists to be free from the clutches. The so-called "suspense" does not make the audience raise their hearts in their throats, which is a failure.
However, even if it is a piece of work that is a bit of a dog, it is still a success, and it is still wonderful everywhere, it is Hollywood in the end!
