I kinda think that this is all Anak-su-nahmun's fault.
Imhotep didn't start out as a bad guy or evil - he was just a man in love. The curse the Majai put on him made him the undead, evil mummy he became; and ultimately, everything he did was for the love of Anak-su-nahmun.
She ultimately betrayed him, so I have to feel a little bit sorry for him.
I do too. especially the last part when Evy saved Rick. He almost looked envious of their love. He immediately gave up when Ancksunnamun ran away.. </3

Hey, don't mess with the Pharaoh's wife if you can't handle the consequences.
I'm not saying the Pharaoh was a saint or anything, but Imhotep did hack him down with a sword and messed with another man's woman.
As for wives who cheat on their husbands and men who fool around with married women, you really have to consider the morals of such characters in the first place. Is her betrayal really that surprising?
Well what are the use of my brains if I'm tied up with a dumb cluck like you?
I'm inclined to think that Anak-su-nahmun had very little say in becoming Pharaoh's wife, but I agree that doesn't excuse them killing him.
It's not your average situation of infidelity - she was probably the daughter of a statesman that Seti wanted for himself. You don't argue with the Pharaoh so she undoubtedly had no choice in becoming him mistress, then his wife.
Based on the events of Mummy Returns, I think Imhotep's feelings were more genuine than those of Anak-su-nahmun.
I have a feeling that she saw her relationship with Imhotep as an escape route from a lifetime of being tied to an old man. Her words 'My body is no longer his temple' suggest that, and when she knew that the cause was lost, there was nothing left for her, so she betrayed Imhotep.
Imhotep's love was much stronger - just look what he did for her.
That was the case for many prince and princesses, both men and women, boys and girls. Live a life of a princess and you have responsibilities to bear, same with men who also have to go to war. The common folks, the peasants have different problems they faced.
shareI feel sorry for him how he did so much to bring Anak-su-nahmun and then she leaves him to die, yes.
Believe me, nothing is trivial. - Eric Draven, The Crow.
I felt very bad for him.
shareHis face could have easily been the face of a nice man before he had his head turned by her.He would not be the first man to fall for a woman and live to regret it.I did feel sorry for him in that last moment when he realized that Rick and Evy had the real love that he had thought he had.She got her karma in the end and deserved it.

Something that bothers me is why would she be afraid to die if she killed herself in the first movie? I mean she got the hard part out of the way by that I mean what the pain must feel like, and is there a afterlife where you will be judged for you actions on earth etc. So I dont get why she would be afraid to did again if it did happen.

shareThat's easy. She'd rather have died than continue living as the pharaoh's slave. Plus, once Imhotep killed the pharaoh, she knew she was going to be executed, and maybe even cursed, so she'd rather have killed herself. The second time around, she was free from all that, so life was much more appealing.
What bothers me is why the Medjai would curse Imhotep in a way that gave him supernatural powers and put the world in jeopardy should he ever be awakened, plus requiring them to keep watch of Hamunaptra for basically ever.
Both good points. I've always wondered about that second one. They tortured Imhotep, but also gave him the chance at eternal life and supernatural powers, and they forced all the descendents of the medjei to devote their lives to guarding a corner of the desert.
shareShe killed herself already knowing that IMHOTEP could bring her back. During the climax, both were in danger.
sharethere wouldn't be evil people if they can't justify it to themselves like you do.
