With this came the realization that all his sacrifice and suffering had been pointless and empty, and after a bitter smile he let go of the ledge and let Hell take him. To top it off, while he was begging Ankh-su-namun to save him, his enemy was begging his beloved to save herself- and she refused, insisting on trying to help him. Then he got to watch Evy race to Rick's side in his moment of need. He'd suffered terribly and sacrificed everything, his position, his life, his mortality and even his soul multiple times over thousands of years for Ankh-su-namun, and she abandoned him when the chips were down. Alas, Poor Villain: Imhotep sees what True Love is really like.Here, the action takes over the horror almost entirely, even though both films are more-or-less action-adventure. The Mummy was unquestionably more action-heavy than the original 1932 film, but still featured elements of horror and suspense. Followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
