The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor

Because of its epic action, sense of humour and great special effects, I really like the Mummy series. I like the way it was woven with great characters, goofy dialogue and spectacular sequences of action, not to mention a lovely location and some fantastic devices for plotting.

I was a huge Mummy fan, I remember when I saw the first Mummy movie and adored it. I have seen it many times since then, I also really enjoyed the sequel Returns, I even liked the Scorpion King. But heck, this movie was a load of rubbish! It was a disgrace to the series, they should of just left it at the two and the spin-off. Speaking of spin-offs, if its anything like the SK, those Yeti will get their own spin-off. Lets pray that never happens.

If you have seen the Mummy Returns and the original mummy you will be quite disapointed with this film,

Because

Point 1 : there is a very low standard of acting with this movie.

Point 2 : if you have seen the mummy returns it shares a very similar story only in China.

Point 3 : the character "Evey O'Connell" is palyed by another actress.

point 4 : Actions Scenes were rather lacklustre for the adult viewer.

So to see where I'm coming from it looks like that the movie was cobbled together in the hope that it might be a great sucess. Rather than a decent script, adequate action, and a delicious storyline the film simply tried to "wing it" to become a blockbuster.

Avoid or pay £5 + to find out i was right all along.

The whole family went to see The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor with some trepidation after reading the terrible write ups.

We neednt have been worried as its a decent family film and is not too gory for the younger kids to watch (my youngest being 10).

There are all the usual explosions and amazing cinematography that you would expect with this kind of film, and the plot is reasonable and easy to follow.

I would recommend that you ignore the critics and go see this one over the school holidays!

I thought The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor has very poor acting from all the characters (in particular Brendan)except the Chinese actors who seemed wasted on this film.

Very dodgy computer generated stuff - yetti's, mountain scenery etc

I must say, "The Mummy" & "The Mummy Returns" cut it for me in terms of action adventure. If explosions, hints of witty humor and a number of ancient creatures interest you then this film is right up your street!

To me it feels as if Brendan Fraser is loosing grip, this being his *hopes* last attempt at ruining what could of been a perfectly stomachable film. Don't get me wrong, it's on my "to buy" list, if it's under 5 that is!
