Hi everyone, this is my own review of the The Mummy: Tomb of the dragon emperor. I managed to catch this at Midvalley Megamall. Overall it was a great movie. Let Me break it Up:
ACTING:
I think the acting was good. One person that deserves accolades is Maria Bello for being able to take on Rachel Weisz's role of Evelyn, well. SHe managed to adopt a British accent to match Rachel Weisz personality and character. Brendan Fraser was good, as usual as the MUMMY-KILLING hero. However, Luke Ford as Alex sholud have been replaced by a different actor of more calibre. Michelle Yeoh played her STEREOTYPE role of an ass-kicking kung fu heroine well. John hannah was as witty as ever as Jonathan. Finally, Jet Li i think suited the role of The Dragon Emperor, although his role is quite limited.
PLOT:
Whatever said and done, the plot here cannot come close to the rich plot of the first and second Mummy movies. However I liked the Introduction of the origin of the emperor and how he was cursed by a witch. Overall there wasn't really any subtance in the plot, however, the action scenes are simply heart-pounding and breathtaking....and I mean It. The chase scene between the O'Connells and the emperor in the beginning was just superb. The battle in the himalayas which included a few yetis was even better. I was a tad dissapointed though that the film was substantiallly shorter than its predecessors.
CONCLUSION:
In a nutshell, it was simply a great experience watching the mummy 3. Being an avid Mummy fan, I was not let down although it did have a few flaws here and there. Well I really recommend that you watch it as it will leave you spellbounded!!
P/S: Roger Ebert a renowned movie critic from the US gave it 3 out 4 stars!!!
My Final Verdict: 4 out of 5 STARS
