Review: THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (2008)

Not terrible but not great either, Mummy 3 just wasn't as fun to watch as the first film. The action sequences combined with the CGI were fun to watch but the story was dull and full of plot holes. The absence of Rachel Weisz was sorely missed this time around because Maria Bello just didn't fit the role at all, Jet Li was advertised as one of the stars of this film but was reduced here to an extended cameo and Rob Cohen cannot direct a fight sequence to save his life, you have Jet fighting Michelle Yeoh...ya should have taken advantage of that oppurtunity, not squander it to a very brief 30 second fight. I think this series should be laid to rest now.

The Boom Verdict: 2.5 out of 5
