[REVIEW] The Mummy: Tome of the Dragon Emperor

This movie is the third installment into "The Mummy" trilogy and unfortunately, it fails to live up to its predecessors.

The movie picks up some years after the second one where the protagonists are enjoying a peaceful life until the "dragon emperor" is excavated. A series of even eventually lead to the resurrection of the emperor and the grand chase between the good and evil.

As simple as the plot sounds, the incoherency between cultures and languages failed to make this a decent movie. If you're planning to use Chinese as some characters' dialogue, stick to it, don't switch back and forth, it's unprofessional and pointless. The second aspect which ruined this movie was the overly abused CG animations and creatures. The creatures created through CG was nicely rendered and the effects are amazing, but it is the fact that most of these things are completely irrelevant to the story line/culture.

1. Yeti
- They came out in one scene with no foreshadowing of their appearance.
- Unprofessional, It's like filling a gap on a puzzle with a piece of crap.

2. Emperor - Dragon
- Eastern dragon does not have wings

3. Emperor - Bull?
- This is completely irrelevant, I can accept the dragon part but he suddenly turns into a bull?

4. Undead Army
- There are so much more you can do with this but the director chose to let them be something that's happening in the background of the movie... not foreground. How long were they mentioned? Maybe 1-2 minutes?


Overall, I would rate this movie.
6/10

If you're looking for some flashy entertainment, then go watch it. If you're looking for a movie with a deep storyline and strong character development, then download/rent this movie.

lots of ppl said it was shietty``

Don't compare it to the last two Mummies lol It's completely different.

I personally didn't think it was bad at all, but that may be coming from me not having watched the last 2 Mummies

I'd give it an 8.5/10, personally

i didn't get to watch it tho``

It's also as poorly marketed as that new X-Files movie. Yes, there's a second X-Files movie and they only started campaigning about 2 weeks from release. On the other hand, I haven't even heard of this third Mummy movie.

too much brandon fraser this summer
thats all i will say...


3rd rate actor in a franchise that shoulda ended with the 2nd one...

haven`t watched the other mummies but this one was pretty good moviee

Seriously, I wanted my money back from this piece of crap.
