The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (aka Mummy 3), and it’s not as painful as I expected. This is the second time I had watched it, the first time I was cringing a lot, and this time I had expected what was going to happen and it wasn't as bad. The whole plot, the mummy in this movie isn’t even a mummy, the closest thing to describe it would be a zombie, and this guy somehow has all these supernatural magic powers than can practically do anything. The movie really really deviates from reality, way way more than the first two Mummy movies (which were great by the way), and it has gone too far. Particularly when they are in the snow capped mountains and the yeti comes to help them, seriously, yeti?!?!? WTF, that is just the most random, rubbish idea that I have seen in a movie, the writer of the script should be fired for even handing in such nonsense, let alone produce it. Jet Li only gets like a few lines spoken in English and it’s like a third of the movie is spoken in Mandarin with English subtitles, which is questionable at best. This movie is a big disappointment and does not live up to the franchise, I would avoid this movie, there aren't really any redeeming features, the actors’ performance is very weak, and the story is rubbish. The only part of this movie I like is the movie poster, :P.
