The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor

If you ever saw The Mummy, or The Mummy Returns, you "may" have known what you were getting into. But that still won't make you forgive yourself for seeing this piece of garbage. The big issue here, is that the movie is up to old tricks, which don't serve it well after movies like, Indiana Jones, National Treasure, etc. have all come out this year, and all revolve around similar things in terms of what you'll see in the movie. Brendon Fraser is back, and not too bad. He's not the issue, but the movie clearly has a few.

First of all, Jet Li and Michelle Yoeh, are welcomed editions, but the whole "China" angle, instead of the traditional "Egypt" setting throw the film off course. You don't think of Dragon Emperors when you hear Mummy, you think of Egyptians, and such.
Secondly, it is simply a redux of The Mummy series, and nothing less. The Pirates of The Caribbean series taught us that there can be 'too much' of a good thing. Point proven here.
Third, and final is the constant barrage of CGI shots over and over. Even films like Fantastic Four look innocent compared to the excessive use seen here.

I guess, with all opinions aside, this movie still does nothing to seperate itself, or achieve anything new for a series not crying out for a third and dissapointing bookmark to a mediocre series.

FINAL RATING (1/4)
