The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
What else would you expect to happen to a truck conveniently carrying fireworks?
There was something bugging me whilst watching The Mummy 3. Just who was it that Jet Li’s character - Emperor Han, reminded me of?
Then on the drive home, it hit me - General Lee from Takeshi’s Castle!
Anyway, as for the film itself, what a load of old tut. Fortunately though, I didn’t have high hopes to begin with. Even the girl who sold me the ticket cheerfully told me that “it was crap” as she handed me my change, so I can’t really complain too much here. Otherwise, I could’ve perhaps mentioned Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello’s awful acting, the piss-weak script or John Hannah’s entire pointlessness of being in this film.
But I won’t. Why? Because The Mummy 3 did have one redeeming quality… it made me appreciate Indiana Jones 4 a whole lot more, which is no mean feat.
“Film snob”? Moi? Pffft. Never.
5/10.
