Review:

Im a big fan of the first two mummy movies, that when I heard there would be a new one I was excited. I didn't care that Imohtep wasn't going to be in it since I thought that was getting dull. I didn't really mind Rachel Weiz wasn't in it , cuz hey it's her loss. And I was cool with the fact that this was going to be in China cause I got tired of seeing all those pyramids. So how can this movie fail. We'll it seems that it can fail on many levels. Yes, the film is entertaining so if that's what you want then you got it but for other people this is just a bad movie. The dialogue is bad (too many mummy refrences). It's really cheesy. Rick & Eve's son looks 40 years old and Jet Li turns into a dragon all this is just the beginning. At the end you may say "its ok" but the more you think about it "wait a minute this sucked". The only positive thing I have to say is that is great to see Brendan Fraser as Rick O' Connel but this movie was so bad that I want a 4th one so the studio and movie franchise can redeem itself, if it can.
