Who needs Rachel Weisz? Who needs decent special effects? Who needs an engaging plot? Hell, who even needs a fucking mummy?!
This did. Desperately.
The only film that has ever made me walk out of the cinema. It almost made me walk out of my own house..
Really confused as to how there's so many reviews for a film which doesn't exist. Everyone knows that there were only two films in the Mummy franchise: The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001). Tomb of the Dragon Emperor? Never heard of her.
Tomb of the Dragon is the weaker installment out of the Mummy series. I do have my likes and dislikes which is what I wrote below:
✴ Likes:
- Combining the story within the Terra Cotta Warrior with them being cursed. A different outlook from the previous 2 films. Also, it got me interested in wanting to learn more about the Terra Cotta.
- Jet Li as the Emperor and turning into the 3 headed Dragon.
- Loved the visuals with the whole clay/stone look.
- Jonathan and Rick's sarcasm. Still keeping the laughter level going. Not by much but still puts a smile on my face.
- Depending on my mood I either like the Yeti or I don't..…
I don't know about you guys, but between the languished pacing of The Mummy and the god forsaken visuals of sequel The Mommy Returns, Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor triumphs in comparison. First, it has Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li - that alone guarantees a two-star rate. Plus, the pacing is better, the acting a little more solid, good set design, and the effects are not terrible. The fight choreography is clean too. Time to admit you only hate this sequel because Rachel Weisz is not in it.
An abomination of the worst kind, the third & final entry in The Mummy trilogy is blockbuster filmmaking at its most cringeworthy. An unforgivable atrocity and an insult to human intelligence, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is devoid of all the fun, charm & rollicking delights of its predecessors and is nothing less than an eyesore for the ages.
Directed by Rob Cohen, there is not a single redeemable moment in this turd of a second sequel as it begins on a dull note and keeps getting duller as it progresses. Where the first two films packed heart & humour and delivered an action-packed extravaganza which continues to age better with time, this one is only an array of one bad decision after…

"Here we go again!"
Ugh, this is pretty awful...
There is an over-reliance on CGI but the issue is that the CGI is so god awful, it's ridiculous. The acting was terrible, with the exception of Brendan Fraser although Michelle Yeoh was passable. Maria Bello's accent was so over-the-top, it's like the only time she has seen/heard British people is on Downton Abbey. The story was stupid, which is the case for the other Mummy films but they were fun. This just wasn't. It was boring and ugly. The action scenes (minus one I enjoyed) are awful. It's kinda like Rob Cohen watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon one time…
This is firmly a So Bad It’s Good for me. There’s some decent action and fights. Pretty cool seeing Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh fight a couple times. It’s also simply one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen.
After two hours of one outrageous moment after the next—including a cartoon Jet Li vomiting lava—the entire film concludes with a text-on-screen joke like it was the end of Animal House. Just exquisite stuff.
Horrible conclusion to a charming trilogy, I'll give it two stars because...Michelle Yeoh
This just isn't that good, I've avoided watching this until now because I heard this was awful. It was a weak film and had some poor cgi but I liked the three headed dragon and it had a lot of action with the finale holding my attention but if you compare this to the other two it just comes off as a not very good film.
