    Looks like a great “pizza night” video… A no brainer, pop corn flick…

    Now, all I need to do it find a ball of YARD to play with.

    This movie was pretty much horrible. A disgrace to the other Mummy movies. What really made it suck was that THERE WERE NO MUMMIES IN THE WHOLE FREAKING MOVIE!!!! It should have been called:
    The Terra Cotta Soldiers: Tomb of The Shape-Shifting Emperor.

    All though this mummy molvie was not as good as the first two were at least it had alot of action and did keep me my brother and our friends entertained the whole movie. the only thing i think they should have done differently was that jet li should have had the mummy face the whole time.

    Packed full of CGI Magic, and more explosions than you can shake a stick at, but, overall this didn’t work for me. The absence of Rachel Wiess and the fact that Alex has aged by 20 years and his dad hasn’t just didn’t pull the whole movie together for me. I was a little Disappointed overall, but it was a nice way to spend a couple of hour’s.

    This Mummy movie was basically all about Jet Li and had a feeling more of a overextended karate flick rather than like the other two where there were devouring scarabs and mysterious pyramids and the such. It is different but it was just basically oranges instead of apples.

    It’s action was great and the special effects were top notch but what the film failed in were the points that made the first two so great. Rob Cohen didn’t have the same directing talent as stephen Sommers to cretae an atmosphere. The first two were just so…”egyptian”. This one didn’t feel so…”chinese”. If any of that makes any sense fans will know what Im talking about. Also, the chemistry between the actors was awful. Also, the absence of Rachel Weis was the main failure of the movie. Her replacement had no charm whatsoever. I just wished evrytime she was on camera she would be gone as soon as possible. I also missed the Majai and Imohtep.

    being a big fan of the first two entries of the mummy series, and the scorpion king, i was pretty excited to hear a new mummy movie was coming out. well, i went to see it, and it was one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen. brenden fraser was annoying throughout the whole thing, maria bello was not a good choice to replace rachel wiez, and jet li, who is usually always good, was incedibly campy. it almost seemed like he was trying so hard to be a ruthless dictator, that he came out looking stupidly corny. the best preformance was anthony wong, the villain from hard boiled, in a supporting role. this was the closest i ever came to walking out of a theater. stupid, stupid, stupid.

    Brendan Fraser can’t act. Jet Li makes a laughable Mummy. Hate that they moved the setting from Egypt to China. The funny supporting actor from the first two films is no longer funny. The yetis are ridiculous.The three-headed dragon was out of place(Hello! It’s a movie about Mummies!). Maria Bello can’t act either.

    This should’ve been straight to DVD.

    Not really worth wasting the time on, you’ll find yourself doing other things while trying to watch this.

    The worst of the series.Watchable but far from a good film.You could play one hell of a drinking game to it everytime you hear “Mummy” drink.You’ll be hit after an hour.Mario Bello was horrible.

Official Score: 2 / 5
