Review: Mummy 3 - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I went to watch Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor today! I actually went to One Utama with Amal today to celebrate my birthday, but that story will be saved for another post. =) Anyway! I’ve visited a couple of blog, especially Jason Smashpop’s. He rated it 0. And like totally… erm. Dislike it. hahah =P

But I beg to differ. Fine, I do agree that, compared to the last two series, this one’s plot is really *ahem* despicable not-so-up-to-standard. But I still find the scenes cute! Especially those cute ferocious Yeti-Yeti and the quite wonderful CG effects.

The Mummy

Jet Li as The Dragon Emperor, and his five elements,

supposedly Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth

and the Dragon itself. Hideous looking.

You know what is the funniest scene? When Jet Li was transforming into the dragon the first time in the fountain. SO FUNNY. It was super cartoonish. I was so speechless. One more opinion, he should have just transformed into the dragon to fight Rick and Alex instead of that stupid weird looking beast.

Overall, rated: 5/10 - 2 for the CG effect, 1 for Michelle Yeoh speaking mandarin, 1 for the terracota vs skeletons scene, and 1 for Ling/Lin cuz she’s pretty.

That’s all! =P
