These MUMMY sequels just keep getting worse and worse. This one's more of the same -- yet another expedition brings back yet another mummy, the mummy comes back to life and murders the members of the expedition, until it's eventually defeated.
As is sort of tradition in MUMMY movies (especially the Universal ones), this one spends a lot of screen time on flashbacks detailing the life and death of the boy pharaoh who would eventually become the undead mummy. None of it really has any bearing on the revenge plot, though.
I guess the most unique thing about this movie is the design of the mummy himself -- instead of just being wrapped up in boring old bandages, this mummy is both wrapped up in bandages and also sports a couple of interesting design flares and patterns in his costume.
Unfortunately if what your mummy is wearing is the high point of your mummy movie, you messed up.
