Review of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) by Tyler R — 21 Sep 2012

I like the first two Mummy films, I thought they were fun and the cast was pretty good. In "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", the O'Connels find themselves on a trek through Asia to stop an Asian emperor who wants to rule the world with his undead army.

The film's premise is as silly as the first two, but it has more fun with it this time around. The acting is pretty solid just like the first two, however, I'm not a big fan of the replacing of Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello.

Her accent is pretty bad, and she just doesn't bring the same charisma the Weisz did. The visual effects are pretty good, ranging from dragons to yetis (which are a comedic treat). The film keeps a steady pace all the way through to the end, and ends the series on a nice note, leaving a joke in there teasing the audience, but not being serious about, a fourth film.
