January 23, 2009Decent action, the wit of the first two movies is gone though and the chemistry between Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello was non existent.

April 10, 2012Probably the best film of the trilogy in my opinion, the first was a nice idea but they tried too hard, the second felt like a complete rehash with terrible effects but this is quite a fun romp. Its very silly (having abominable snowmen help out at one point and a rather daft pla... read more

March 5, 2012The storyline is interesting about an evil Chinese Emperor (Jet Li) being raised from the dead. There are great special effects in the desert and also in the snow scenes. The fighting scenes are fab between Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. The disappointing parts include Brendan Fraser'... read more

January 16, 2011The third film of the Mummy series has very little left of the somewhat old fashioned charm and fun that made the first two highlights of the adventure genre. Rachel Weisz is sorely missed, Maria Bello doesn't fill that character with live for a minute, also thanks to lazy writin... read more

October 3, 2010Incromprehensible and not fun enough to be able to look past it. Should've stuck to one. Full review later.

September 18, 2010why'd they make this into a trilogy? the first 2 weren't great either, but this tops it. plus, it's got brendan fraser.

July 28, 2010this movie was horrible. it was stupid and had a bad story. one of the worst movies of the year. D

March 19, 2010A soulless cash in with a shoddy story and bad acting. All the charm of the first film is absent, as is Rachel Weisz who obviously knew better and it just reeks of desperation (and laziness). A real shame.

March 13, 2010brendan fraser's the mummy franchise is obviously the assailing target for movie snobs, and it's been nominated by razzie award already. but surprisingly, roger ebert gives it praise and affirms that it's the best among the series. "the mummy: tomb of the dragon emperor" is certa... read more

For a movie about the undead, this lacks any supernatural chills, and by the time its obligatory final showdown arrives, it seems as hollow as the terra cotta soldiers brought to life by CGI. Full Review

The best news about this clangorous clunker is that it may well have vanquished the Mummy franchise. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
Remarkably, the plot has much in common with Hellboy II: The Golden Army, yet that bundle of fun has enough vision to make even its Barry Manilow interlude seem appropriate. Full Review

The story is no more than a thread stitching set pieces of increasing implausibility and ineptitude. Full Review

This Mummy movie is really two movies: a good adventure epic, with all the Chinese people, and a wan one, with O'Connells and the other the Westerners. Full Review

Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is more of the same -- and yet less. Full Review

The new Mummy is, how can I put it? Just freakin' awful.
August 1, 2008
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The action beats are the same as the earlier Mummys -- with planes, guns, digital creatures and vast armies of the risen-dead having at it. The missing ingredient here seems to be the fun. Full Review

This movie wasn't so much created as calculated. Full Review
