You're making a comic book movie, so why not hire a guy who looks like he just stepped out of one? The Rock took his chiseled man-mountain presence to the sequel, often paralyzing enemies with a single eyebrow raise.

When we saw The Rock's brief appearance in "The Mummy Returns," he gave new meaning to "larger than life." Giving his character its own movie was a no-brainer.

The original Disney movie was a sweet but fairly suspenseful chase movie in the live-action Disney mold of the '60s and '70s. This remake has a robotic assassin, mobsters and elaborate special effects... but not as much heart as the original.

The Rock is, of course, the star of the show, but my favorite character is Balthazar, played by the too-soon-departed Michael Clarke Duncan. His gigantic, good-humored presence is the emotional heart of the film. He's also the only guy in it who looks like he could take on Dwayne and win.
