Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
JokerMichel From the second you watch the first two minutes of the movie you know it's gonna be bad.Just look at the CGI !!
redpepper987 The first and second Mummy movies are my absolute favorites. What were the directors thinking when they made this? he directing, plot, and acting in this was bad. I know Evelyn turned down the script but replacing her was still bad. She had no chemistry with her son, in my opinion.What I did like was Jonathan staying in character and the special effects. Some of the action scenes were good.
adonis98-743-186503 In the Far East, Alex O'Connell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy O'Connell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin -- a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the only Mummy film that i haven't watched since the time that it was actually released which is 2008 now 9 years later i can tell you that this movie has aged better in my opinion sure it's over the top and all that but it's still a fun action film with Brendan Fraser and Jet Li steal the show for the most part, speaking of Li i loved his look as the Mummy it was something different, cool looking and above all badass. Rachel Weisz not returning as Evelyn did bug me but Maria Bello is a great actress as well and she does try her best with the material that she was given, the action is indeed a bit more over the top than the previous 2 films with many strange creatures and battles happening, the movie is also a bit way to fast paced and i would have liked a bit more if it explained some stuff and just like with The Mummy and The Mummy Returns the cgi at times are a bit lackluster. In the end The Mummy 3 is a much better sequel that it gets credit for it has Brendan Fraser as Rick O'Connell for one last time and it continues and also updates the mythology of the Mummy Trilogy and let's all admit it it's far better than Tom Cruise's crappy remake. (8.5/10)
paradux I don't just like movies, I love them. Which is why I do reviews here and try to be "useful." Yet no matter how many movies I watch, I am always aware that the people who make these movies -- even the good ones -- are not themselves heroes or geniuses, they are merely regular folk trying to make a living. In other words -- the huge secret of the movie industry -- it is a business. And it needs to make a profit. And it needs to continually churn out product to feed the pipeline.Never is this point more obvious than in films like this, films that reveal, if only briefly, the underbelly of Hollywood run by accountants and number crunchers.This is a film where, after reading the script, Rachel Weisz, one of the main attractions of the earlier entries, suddenly developed a headache and turned down a few million dollars in order (I think) to avoid the embarrassment.But Hollywood does not embarrass easily.How did this film get made? Easy. Someone said "The earlier films in the franchise made us XX million and were seen by XXX people. The boys in the backroom tell me that if we do one more sequel, even if it is not very good, even we save money by having one of the teenage interns do the script between exams, then 32.8% of the audience who saw the last one is guaranteed to show up. And that puts us into breakeven. Once it goes to cable and digital, we will be into profit." And those -- trust me -- are the people you, kind viewer, trust to bring you good entertainment.
