The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Standard

The 3rd and final movie to the Mummy Trilogy, made in 2008. Starring Brendan Fraser and Jet Li

Classic Mummy tale of a cursed King in a tomb which somehow the O’Connells have managed to awaken and therefore must also destroy before he takes over the entire world.

Though it is slightly predictable compared to the other 2 films, some things from the previous films don’t match up to this one. First, Evy has been replaced with another actress. Second, Alex the son of the famous couple in the second film had a British accent, but in this one he has an American accent.

The fight scenes were pretty robotic to say the least. Not fluid or life like at all. Having taken a  stage combat class, it is very difficult to learn to that type of scene, how ever for a movie, this was pretty bad.

I will admit the ones with Brendan Fraser were pretty epic for lack of a better term. His scenes were very realistic.

Overall, *** 3 Stars. Not the best movie in the world but still entertaining. Mostly cheesy but that’s just how these films are.
