Mummy 3 - Review

So I saw the Mummy - Tomb Of the Dragon Emperor on Friday.

The first thing that came to my mind was -

Oh my God! Why? Why? Why?

I really don't know why they made this movie.

The first two movies of the Mummy franchise were action packed and full of fun and wit all the way. This movie fails on all three aspects.

The plot is weak and the special effects are even worse.

This movie looks like a cheap rip off or a slapstick comedy of one of the older Mummy movies.

There is no Rachel Weisz in this movie. She is replaced by Maria Bello who tries a lot to act the part, but ends up overacting.

Brendon Frasier doesn't even try in this movie. He isn't the best actor under any circumstances. But in this movie, it almost looks like he is forced to be in the scene. He just does not fit the part of a middle aged man who is trying to show the love for his 20 something son(Luke Ford). Infact, he and his son, almost look the same age. Come on guys. Spend some money and at least make Brendon look a little older.

Both Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh try and bring something to their characters, but it is nowhere close to enough.

Both of them have talent. They shouldn't waste time on movies such as this.
Or at least stick to the Chinese Kung-Fu movies. [:D]

Nothing in this movie fits.

Overall, it is a disaster. It looks like an under budgeted waste of time and money.

Take my advice. Don't waste your time watching this movie. Rent part 1 and part 2 and watch them again.
