The easiest way to sell this is to follow the same exact route that Marvel has followed and craft an action movie first with everything else second. Having said that, however, I don't think the movie misses a beat in its lead up to Imhotep's revival.

In the first the mummy comes alive and a young archaeologist, going quite mad, laughs in a way that raises the hair on the scalp. It's a very good good movie, a term I've used before and that, I'm sure, some of you don't get, but it makes sense to me.
