Movie Review: The Mummy 3 - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Rate This Article:

Old-fashioned adventure meets high-tech CGI in the latest adventure in the Mummy series, which is sure to appeal to teens and pre-teens who enjoyed its earlier installments of escapism.

Intrepid explorer Rick O'Connell and his wife Evelyn return, accompanied by their son Alex, who is now 21 years old and a budding archaeologist.

Unfortunately, in the midst of his adventures, Alex accidentally awakens China's Dragon Emperor, who had been asleep for the past 2,000 years as the result of a curse.

As the O'Connell family travels the world to stop the mummy and his resurrected Terracotta army's plans for world domination, plenty of action follows.

Fathers should know that the majority of the violence is fairly tame, including fistfights, swordfights, explosions and some guns - which makes it suitable for ages 12 and up.

At the same time, some more graphic scenes of dismemberment, disfiguration and stabbing may cause a father to pause before allowing his younger kids to watch.

Some adults may find the fast-paced plot and top-notch special effects of The Mummy 3 entertaining, but some critics suggest that uninspired dialogue and lackluster performances could leave an older crowd cold.

This film looked like the script had been penned in about two minutes flat. Or more likely the 'one size fits all generic script' was taken down from it's shelf, a couple of names were changed and off this movie rolled from the mass produced factory line without another thought.

Gone was Rachel Weisz who obviously saw the sense in not appearing in this travesty. Gone was a 'Mummy' who instead was replaced by a clay baked Jet Li who seems to be cropping up in movies more than a bout of the pox in medieval Europe. Gone was the humour and sense of fun apparent in the other films in this franchise to be replaced by meaningless, endless chases, so called action sequences. and a bunch of washed up would be thespians taking their flimsy parts way to seriously.
This film unashamedly confirms Ervine's comment that "American motion pictures are written by the half-educated for the half-witted."
