The Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb.............

this film is the third installment of 'The Mummy' franchise, and doesnot disappoint. This time, the O’Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse, who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.

Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress (played by Michelle Yeoh) to spend eternity in suspended animation, China's ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for centuries, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terracotta army.

But when adventurer Alex O'Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal sleep, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people, who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents.

As the Emperor comes back to life, the O'Connell's and Evie's brother Jonathan, find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia.

Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force...unless the O’Connells can stop him first.

watch it to find out what happens.

Good movie, not so goo sequel

My advice will be to watch this movie with no high expectations. When I watched it, i was expecting to see the same humour, action and excitment as shown in the first two movies. The journey the O'Connels venture on here, is no where near as exciting as the mummy1 &2, in fact quite the contary, it was amazingly short, dull and dry with only an occasional joke here and there to lighten the mood. I felt that the existing characters were all very good, i.e Rick and Johnathan. Alex on the other hand seemed far too old for a son attending college, and i dont believe the actor really suited the character much. The emperor also, was not quite the evil villain as Vosloo portrayed as Imhotep. In fact come to think of it, the movie appears so be a very similar copy of the previous movies...even Adeth has a counterpart. So in short, same old story someone is protecting the mummy, o'connel brings mummy to life...mummy wants to beome immortal...big fight...etc etc..very predictable. I guess if you havnt seen the other two movies, then this one will have a very different effect on you...
