The third film in the The Mummy series freshens the franchise up by setting the action in China. There, the discovery of an ancient emperor’s elaborate tomb proves a feather in the cap of Alex O’Connell (Luke Ford), a young archaeologist and son of Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) and his wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, taking over the role from Rachel Weisz). Unfortunately, a curse that turned the emperor (Jet Li) and his army into terra cotta warriors buried for centuries is lifted, and the old guy prepares for world domination by seeking immortality at Shangri La. The O’Connells barely stay a step ahead of him (climbing through the Himalaya mountains with apparent ease), but the action inevitably leads to a showdown between two armies of mummies in a Chinese desert. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has a lot to offer: a supporting cast that includes the elegant Michelle Yeoh, Russell Wong, and Liam Cunningham, the unexpected appearance of several Yeti, and a climactic battle sequence that is nightmarishly weird but compelling. On the downside, the charm so desperately sought in romantic relationships, as well as comic turns by John Hannah (as Evelyn’s rascal brother), is not only absent but often annoying. Rarely have witty asides in the thick of battle been more unwelcome in a movie. Rob Cohen’s direction is largely crisp if sometimes curious (a fight between Fraser and Jet Li keeps varying in speed for some reason), but his vision of Shangri La, in the Hollywood tradition, is certainly attractive. –Tom Keoghbr>

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fun ride despite the flaws
After 7-years The Mummy franchise returns, but with a few changes; Stephen Sommers who wrote and directed the first 2 returns only as producer and half the cast is gone, but the character of Evelyn returns only played by Maria Bello rather than Rachel Weisz. Anyone that knows me pretty much knows that in general I’m not one for big Hollywood movies for the most part. Since the mid 90s Hollywood has really been putting out some lousy flicks. Prior to that I Hollywood movies were fairly good overall, … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great POPCORN flick
First off I love movies all kinds of movies. From oscar winning dramas to straght to dvd horror movies. I am also a big fan of the mummy series I have the mummy, the mummy returns, the mummy tomb of the dragon emperor and the scorpion king all on blu-ray. Picture and sound wise Tomb is the best of all of them. It has a beautiful higdef vido transfor and a equaly good 5.1 DTS HD MA audio track that really creates a good surrond sound field. There is also a good feature list with some highdef exclusive … Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No Audio Ouput From Blu-ray Version
Warning to those with older Receivers. This Blu-ray disk only has a DTS audio soundtrack in English. If you have a Receiver, like I do, that only decodes Dolby Digital 5.1, there is no audio output.

The rest of this review is for the clueless producers of this Blu-ray disk. Obviously they have learned nothing from the costly lost sales of the war with HD-DVD. People like me are not going to buy an expensive new Receiver just to play a particular movie on Blu-ray. Especially with six audio formats … Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The Worst of the Mummy Movies
I’m a diehard fan of The Mummy, and even liked the oft-maligned The Mummy 2. I went into this movie having ignored the trailers and reviews and was incredibly excited about it. Much to my chagrin, it was not only the worst of the Mummy series, but also one of the worst movies I’ve seen in years.

Not only would I suggest avoiding buying this movie, I wouldn’t even suggest renting it. If you’re new to The Mummy series, stick with the first two movies.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just plain bad…
I was a huge fan of the first two Mummy movies. When I found out this was coming out, I was very excited. Let me first start by saying that I hate it when they have a trilogy with different actors/actresses playing the characters. (Evelyn) Other than that, the acting was bad. The story was very brief and shallow. The best part of the movie was that some parts were so bad that they became laughable. Again, I am still a big fan of the first two. This movie just seems like they threw this together and did … Read More
