Review of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) by Kj P — 07 Mar 2015

"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" has the original cast together and it is in focus the entire time. There is not much else to say about this franchise killer, because the actors all seem to be foaming it in, the plot is too complex to be enjoyable, and the script is so dumb that I did not care about anything that was going on.

While shorter than the first two films, it actually feels the longest. With so many bloated ideas plotted into this picture, there is not one interesting one to latch onto. Once Rick's son grows up, he kind of takes over the family business until his parents are dragged back into the Mummy world for one more ride.

Like many "Last Time" films, it has run this franchise into the ground. There really are no redeeming qualities to this picture, which is sad. Ever since the beginning in 1999, these films have been going down hill.

Recommendation: Just stay away.
