Its the same story as the previous ones and most of the stuff in the movie were taken from them as well. I love Brendan Fraser but he didn't look happy to be there and with how the story was set up, you can't blame him for looking miserable. He has no chemistry with Maria Bello, who was just awful (She's no Rachel Weisz, that's for damn sure.) and he has even less chemistry with his own son played by Luke Ford, who has the charisma and the charm of a brick, not to mention the fact that he looks just as old as both Fraser and Bello. Fraser has more chemistry with John Hannah, who is a welcome distraction from the lousiness of the film. The movie itself is just a flat headed mess of bad visual effects with no soul. Jet Li lacks the menacing presence of Arnold Vosloo from the previous films but that problem is more than less on the shoulders of the director, who was in my opinion more concern with the style of the film than any substance it could have had and because of that, Jet Li and most of the cast got the short end of the stick and it shows. They should have ended it with the second film but instead, we have a movie that manages to make even "The Scorpion King" look as good as Iron Man or Dark Knight.Read full review
The Mummy: tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the fourth movie in the Brendan Fraser Mummy series (well, 5th if you include The Scorpion King Movie). This movie sees some changes to the cast as we have a grown up kid for the O'Connells and a change in the actress that plays Eve (I miss RRachel Weisz). The movie follows the same pattern but this time we are dealing with a Chinese Mummy instead of an Egyptian Mummy. O'Connells accidentally wake up Mummy, go on epic journey to defeat Mummy, Run into some problems, then Defeat Mummy. Meh. This is one of those popcorn movies where you go to watch the special effects not the story line. To me the cutest part was the animation on the Yeti's. :) 3/5 Not bad but not spectacular. A great way to burn a Saturday afternoon at home. Latsyhrc Tamarack CollectiblesRead full review
Non-stop action with really beautiful desert scenery. The story is a little disconnected at some points but not to any meaningful degree if you like the action. There is a conbination of scenery from desert to chilling, snowy mountians. The characters and scenery are exotic and the similarity to Indiana Jones is hard to miss just as are the other Mummy series of videos. Lots of fun. This video is complicated and fast-moving enough that it is pleasantlly viewable on multiple occasions.
A Great Movie To Add To Your Home Collection!

This movie was just okay to me. It always bothers me when the actors change when your use to the ones from the first two movie's meaning the wife in this. But overall the movie had the action that I excepted and it was funny. Just not happy about the different wife they had think it was a bad choice.
The plot was a bit far fetched even for a mummey movie. The fact that O'Connel's original wife didn't appear in this one was a big disapointment. I thaught the son should have been younger and in fact he didn't need to be in it at all. After all it hasn't been 20 years since the last movie and O'Connel looked as young or younger than the son. Bottom line is that the first two were much better and I hope the next (Peru)is too.
