This shit was so ass bro. Tbh I was expecting to be a minority enjoyer here as a huge Jet Li fan. But nahh ofc he spends 90 percent of this as a CGI zombie. Maria Bello has gotta be one of the WORST recastings ever. I mean if there’s no Rachel Weisz just write her character out broski what are we doin Zero mummies btw. And then there’s the dude who plays their son. A fucking cornball. My eyes were permanently rolled in my head. They even stole all my man Brenden Fraser’s charisma away. DO NOT recommend

Tomb of the Dragon is the weaker installment out of the Mummy series. I do have my likes and dislikes which is what I wrote below: ✴ Likes: – Combining the story within the Terra Cotta Warrior with them being cursed. A different outlook from the previous 2 films. Also, it got me interested in wanting to learn more about the Terra Cotta. – Jet Li as the Emperor and turning into the 3 headed Dragon. – Loved the visuals with the whole clay/stone look. – Jonathan and Rick’s sarcasm. Still keeping the laughter level going. Not by much but still puts a smile on my face. – Depending on my mood I either like the Yeti or I don’t..…

Starring – Female 4 Front: The Ultimate Kick Ass Warrior Michelle Yeoh There is nothing particularly awful about this movie. Jet Li’s casting as the new mummy is a stroke of genius, as is Michelle Yeoh’s; it’s thrilling to see the two of them back in action, this time pitted against one another and the background to the mummy is fascinating. The film’s choreography is really good, if ultimately forgettable; the same can be said of Yeoh’s character unfortunately. Brendan Fraser continues to give it his all in his performance. The cinematography, especially during the snowy mountain scene, is the greatest it has been in the entire trilogy. I had forgotten how graphic the movie gets (the whole melting and…

Really confused as to how there’s so many reviews for a film which doesn’t exist. Everyone knows that there were only two films in the Mummy franchise: The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001). Tomb of the Dragon Emperor? Never heard of her.

Good showcase of how Hollywood had gone to crap. Everything is CGI first. An evil CGI Chinese army fights another CGI Chinese army, while the villain turns into a CGI dragon and shoots CGI fireballs. A very different movie compared to the earlier two. A product of another time. Feels like plastic. Rachel Weisz dodged a bullet.

Who needs Rachel Weisz? Who needs decent special effects? Who needs an engaging plot? Hell, who even needs a fucking mummy?! This did. Desperately.

Horrible conclusion to a charming trilogy, I’ll give it two stars because…Michelle Yeoh

This is firmly a So Bad It’s Good for me. There’s some decent action and fights. Pretty cool seeing Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh fight a couple times. It’s also simply one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. After two hours of one outrageous moment after the next—including a cartoon Jet Li vomiting lava—the entire film concludes with a text-on-screen joke like it was the end of Animal House. Just exquisite stuff.

The script is chock full of references to Rick and Evie working as spies during WWII. Why the hell didn’t they make that movie?

A wildly unnecessary sequel that somehow forgets what made the original so much fun. Brendan Fraser is still giving it everything, but the charm is buried under CGI, bland mythology and action that feels strangely weightless. The first one had adventure. This one has a budget.

Mid and boring, Brendan Fraser carries

Alex is a full grown middle aged man and his parents haven’t aged a day since the last film… interesting. Sequel called mummies and vampires?

I don’t like Fraser as a leading man– at least not in this. He has this weird, forced, way of talking that’s super loud. It’s like he’s feigning charisma and taking charge, but it just sounds like he’s shouting for no reason. Love to see Chinese mythology, but it pretty much goes to waste. Complete misused of Jet Li as well. Why have him if you’re not going to show off his athletic ability? Same with Yeoh. Marginally better than the second one, but yeah, I don’t like these Mummy movies. I find them all very boring.

Love the idea of international mummy capers to keep the series fresh & I thought this had potential. The writing was laughably bad but recasting Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello was even worse.

Really is just a non-starter. It’s The Mummy–but worse–without Rachel Weisz.

As much as I LOVE Brendan Fraser and I am so happy he is back in this series, this one is not like the others AT ALL. In fact, they should have kept this one in the vault. It should have never existed. The biggest problem: WHO TF IS THAT CAUSE THAT IS NOT EVIE. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST IGNORE THAT. No offense to whoever that actress is but genuinely pissed me off and I loathed her the entire…

Jet Li gets resurrected as the Evil Avatar and wants to take over the World with his Terracotta Army but Brendan Fraser is back to kick Ass because his son is dating a 3000 year old Chinese Witch.

There’s so much I want to enjoy here but it’s just lacking that special sauce the first 2 had. This is definitely the weakest of the trilogy. I don’t think I’ve watched this one since initial release so had forgot most of why that was. From the jump I was surprised at the lack of Rachel Weisz. Of course there are some scheduling conflicts and recasts occasionally across all of Hollywood, but, with the success of the chemistry between Weisz…

Liked it more than the 2nd Mummy. New Evie wasn’t the same but was fine. They also got Jet Li’s likeness less time than they did for the Rock. I think I saw this movie in theatres with my dad, Kate and Aunt Barbara but who’s to say MV

es evidente que esta trilogia fue de mas a menos, cada pelicula iba perdiendo mas su esencia hasta llegar a esto, siento que el recast de evelyn le quita el alma a esta entrega. el duo de brendan con rachel es iconico y genuinamente veias la química entre ellos dos, con este recast siento que perdieron muchisimo. no me gusto mucho que alex haya crecido tan rapido se sintio muy apresurado pero en fin estoy hablando demás esta peli por…

Radio Silence, please retcon The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor as just a book that Evelyn wrote in The Mummy 4. The Yetis look okay, Michelle Yeoh gives this movie a point, and Brendan still has some of his Rick charm in here. Other than that, damn, this film is bad. Recasting Weisz is a disastrous decision like, she is half the reason these films were good. The acting is paper thin, and the CGI is awful; this film…

The thing about putting Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li in your movie is that then you wisely have put Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li in your movie. I’m having a blast. We’ll even let them gratuitously rip off the tequila glass shot from Hard Boiled. In a movie with mummies, yetis, and dragons, I can’t suspend disbelief that their kid has gone from being plucky and annoying and British to an American large adult son (still annoying though!).

I’ll be honest, this one was close to being a guilty pleasure for me. But at the end of the day this one’s a mess. There are a couple of fun action setpieces and the villain is effective at being a massive threat. But that comes at the cost at making the villain extremely bland in spite of jet li’s solid performance. Rick & evelyn’s chemistry is so weak in this one since her actress got swapped out. Alex has even…

Am I crazy, or did the kid have a British accent in the last movie?

Maria and Keanu should do Pride and Prejudice, directed by Kevin Costner.

I had to watch the trilogy even though they’re a bit ridiculous in plot like why are they always tomb raiding and then are surprised when they “accidentally” wake up the undead. Stop being such greedy colonialists! At least this one took place in Asia, and it was cool to have Jet Li play the emperor and Michelle Yeoh play the girl that got away…sort of. The backstory to explain the origin of the terra cotta soldiers was creative, and…

This one is really good and is really close in score to the second but the second one closed a lot of stories and felt concluded rather than this one where it still felt like there was a little more to tell. Great trilogy!

O mais belo da trilogia tanto em efeitos quanto na cinematografia, é divertido e muito bem produzido, mas q falta q a Evelyn original faz aqui (Rick e Alex estão ótimos a propósito) mas dá pra passar o tempo

On the one hand its irredeemable dogshit that spits on an incredible franchise but on the other its really nostalgic and everyone in it is hot

No joke, for the longest time I thought The Mummy was a duology. Still gonnacall it that because this is nothing like the other two. It might as well be a standalone film.

The worst of the Mummy trilogy. Actually, the movie has a pretty decent concept just poor dialogue… and the chemistry between Rick and Evelyn is gone. Rachel Weisz is replace with Maria Bello (a good actress) and the movie suffers. Rick and Evelyn’s son Alex is now grown up and following in the family’s footsteps. Could have been a decent movie, but isn’t. No recommendation. Rick: “Look kid, I’ve put down more mummies in my time than you.” Alex: “You put down one mummy, Dad.” Rick: “Yeah. Same mummy… twice.”

Yes yes we’re all upset about Rachel Weisz, but putting that hurt aside, I had a good time. This movie is fun when you don’t have someone bitching in your ear about it. I mean come on we got Michelle Yeoh. Fuck yeah man.

Tout pour Michelle Yeoh, le film est mid sinon. Mais aussi c’est normal puisqu’il n’a pas été réalisé par la même personne que les deux premiers.

maria bello did well but no one can replace the energy and chemistry between brendan fraser and rachel weisz

Really unneeded. So much more messy than the others and why there is a Yeti in it I will never know. They could’ve at least tried to keep it along the same lines as the others.
