Making the farcical tenor of the recent Indiana Jones film feel like a paragon of dramatic and archaeological...

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

williamsgwynfa from , 30th January, 2008

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.

1 too many

A Customer from England, 8th August, 2008

After watching the glorious new Batman movie, my friend and I snuck in to the screen opposite for a random piece of entertainment and we were plesently surprised to find ourselfes in a showing of Mummy 3. Great eh? No. It was painful. From the off, it was clear the acting was going to be bad, only to get worse as the movie progressed. The supposedly humourous ... It's not worth my time to continue ... I left the film early and so will this review. I got my just deserts.

Great family adventure film...

PaulaWestwood from , 7th August, 2008

Why the popular critics slated this I will never know, O.K. when it comes out on DVD it will be packaged in a red wax cover with Edam stamped on it, because,yes, it is pretty cheesy... But come on guys its not serious high cinema, it is a hugely fun adventure film that does more than it promoses on the tin, and has some superb effects too. This time Brendan Fraser is his usual deadpan funny/serious self, not everyones cup of tea but suits the Mummy Franchise ideally. The mummies awakened this time are the Chinese teracotta army, and their emperor bent on destruction after millenia entombed by a wizard, all brilliantly brought to cinematographic life. All in all a great adventure and effect full family movie that is definately worth a watch.

Knock Off Nigel does Indianna Jones

UncleBuck from , 20th August, 2008

My god it was garbage. Just back from Cineworld, using a combination of Unlimited Card and Orange Wednesday we got in for nothing...and that was too expensive. This was just an Indianna Jones knock-off and had none of the charm of the previous two Mummy films. Very poor script and plot and abismal one liners from John Hannah was just cringworthy.

This Mummy is a corpse.

nick98 from , 16th March, 2010

This Mummy should have stayed dead. I can't believe Jet Li lent himself to this garbage. The acting was woeful, but that wouldn't have been helped by the utterly dreadful script as the actors must surely have cringed their way through their lines. The story bounces along from place to place with the ridiculous and unexplained, but even when you're in the big house in England, at the start of the film, you'll be regretting putting this down as one of your choices. Well done Rachel Weisz for steering well clear of this mess. The only good thing about it were the sets, which gets this drivel its one star from me.

Tired

Lissant from , 7th March, 2010

This is a tired attempt to jump onto The Mummy bandwagon... but having been a thumping success in the Egyptian desert ... where one finds Mummies... it really is a bridge too far to imagine that the scene can be transferred to China, and that something new (dare I say fresh?) can be put onto the screen. Once you've seen one army of disinterred dust-corpses dashing across the plain, you've seen them all, I'm afraid. Ultimately this became boring. The closing music (that is, the credits) was good, though. Hence the star.
