The only film that has ever made me walk out of the cinema. It almost made me walk out of my own house..

I kept waiting for Nicolas Cage to make an appearance but even he didn't want to appear in a film this bad.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A fun action-packed film that lacks the spark (and horrible CGI) of the first two. There are also some really weird stuff in this movie:
- Jet Li's character turns into shit and gets set on fire.
- Rachel Weisz is replaced by Maria Bello. This is not an improvement in any way.
- Fraser and Weisz's/Bello's kid had a perfect British accent in the previous film, he now has an American accent. This is never explained. It's also very curious since the actor playing him (Luke Ford) has an Australian accent in real life.
- The line: "The yak yakked!" is said after a yak pukes on John Hannah's character during a bumpy plain ride. He later tries to…

I've never been a big fan of the Mummy movies. They're pale imitations of Indiana Jones, with far inferior story, acting, and action. I had hoped replacing hack director Sommers with Rob Cohen would give this one a chance. But this one gives Mummy Returns a run for its money as worst of the series.
Let's start with the characters. I don't know why Bello couldn't just play a new woman in our hero's life, but fine, whatever... she was the least of the film's problems. The son? Just as bad an actor as Fraser, and oh, did I mention he's like 20 years old? Figuring dad was about 30 in the first film, that Fraser's character... 50 now? I…

LOL. who were they trying to fool??

Silly romp with an ok concept but could've done with less CGI & more Jet Li ( and Rachel Weisz returning). 4/10.

An enjoyably bonkers last third act can't stop its ferocious slide into forgettable mediocrity

The fact that I really like the first two films only make this a worse disappointment. All the great character interaction have gone and the movie has worse looking special effect than the first which came out a decade before it! So disappointing.

This film, in its first ten minutes, takes everything that was great about the first two Mummy films and lights it on fire. Then, with the remaining 102 minutes, takes a dump on its ashes.

I love the Mummy films, and it's great they finally got away from the same Mummy. Li brought less personality to the series, but his mummy shedding was a fun effect. The rid the kid and made Alex older, which was good, but the recasting of Evelyn was a bad move. Bello is just not good here. The final battle is really sweet.
