The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Third Mummy's Crummy
Lets get started. This movie was awful! I absolutely loved the first two, I've watched them at least a hundred times, but this... ugh! I couldn't even make it through the first half hour! (I did make it through the whole thing. But in pain) First off, What's up with Alex? In the second one, he's got a British accent and then in the third his accent disappears. How does that even work? Second, What is up with Evie? I couldn't stand Maria Bello as her. She was dreadful. Her British accent was terrible and seemed to change from scene to scene.
As much as I loved the character Jonathan from the first two flicks, in this one he did very little but make wise crack jokes that were not funny at all.
Brendan Fraser was decent as Rick, but the character lacked personality, all he did was beat up people and yell at his family.
Sadly the funniest line of this movie was, "She speaks yeti!?" That tells you a lot about the script.
And, what was up with Alex's "Girlfriend?" Was she even his girlfriend. Sadly their "realtionship" doesn't even really qualify as one. There was absloutely no build up on this particular plot line, which I would have like to see progress.
I do not like the setting of this movie. The whole point of the first two was it was an Egyptian Mummy, not that I'm against Chinese mummies...but seriously. I mean. You couldn't leave it at two mummy movies? What happened to Ardeth Bay? Oh, You know Rick, the guy who helped you ALL through the first two? The action and graphics were decent if you are that kind of a movie fan. The best way to enjoy this movie is to keep your television on mute and then add the lines yourself.
This pretty much sums it up... THIRD MUMMY IS CRUMMY!

I hate to say it, but... I didn't really enjoy this movie. I absolutely adore Sterling Knight! But I was not a fan of this movie.
And no I am not a Danielle Campbell hater, I just didn't like her character at all! Jessica Olson was virtually an emotional wreck, Her and her random mood swings. (When he takes her on a tour of Malibu, it appears as though she's growing fonder of him. But than alas, suddenly she hates him again!) It doesn't make sense!
Christopher and Jessica's relationship didn't grow over time, it appeared.Normally in a Disney movie or for this type of couple, they hate each other, then it continually gets more and more romantic until finally it ends off as a HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Not in this movie... I hate you, I love you, I hate you, I love you. Back and forth back and forth, until you can't take it anymore. Christopher Wilde's character remains consistent, however Jessica is not at all.
Also I'm not even going to mention the cheesy script. That will take maybe 4 or 5 pages.
I apologize to Sterling I believe he is amazingly talented, but I wish he could be in a movie that really showcases that.
Not everyone will I agree with me, I can honestly say that... I don't recommend that you not watch this movie either. Just try it and see what you think.
