THE MUMMY: THE TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (Theatrical Release USA 2008)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor—tries and fails in presentation and casting—due to the lack of Rachel Weisz as complimentary casting choice for Brendan Fraser. Maria Bello plays too strong for Brendan Fraser. Luke Ford’s persona somewhat works and he could possibly be cast into another mummy movie or any kind of action movie.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The movie has all the elements of a great action flick, but fails at almost every level to entertain.
