Sometimes things should stop at two - like marriages, leg removals and Mummy films.

Okay, the movie was alright, but not as good as the first two parts. One major point was the new Evy, I just can't get used to her. Some shots were great, some new cast was good... but Evy is annoying and at some points I lost interest while watching it and that never happened during the first two movies.

Rubbish. Such a waste to end a fun trilogy with this.

I liked the old Evy more. This one is way to much british and naggy.

Despite the contempt it's bred, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is still about as good (or bad) as the other films in the series. The bad? Well, giving them a kid in the second film really was a poison pill, because now he's at least 20 and primary male lead. The characters have aged 20 years while the actors only aged 9 since the original, and despite three heroic female leads, it seems like the boys have to take over at every turn and steal their thunder. So it may be a good thing that Rachel Weisz skipped out on this one, but - nothing against her replacement per se - the old chemistry is completely lacking, and we're looking at a couple that needs a shot in the arm to get back to the sexy time that made the other films watchable. The film's other mistakes are giving us too short a fight between Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh (and allowing it to be directed by an American), and a series of MacGuffins that makes you kind of lose the plot at the end. The good? Well, several great Chinese actors, with the opening story particularly interesting (I felt like there was a great wuxia epic in there, if only it had been the whole of the film), and several cool and insane action sequences. When the yeti show up in Tibet, the story's gone off the rails and I'm laughing my ass off. To me, that's a feature, not a bug. The CG has rough spots (especially for 2008), but there are still some strong moments, like when they're doing the Jason and the Argonauts skeleton fight against terracotta soldiers. And China is a nice change from Egypt.

So utterly tedious I turned it off after twenty minutes.
