Hitting theaters this week is the the third part of the Mummy series, which can be described as a disappointing in simple words, the movie fails to recreate the aura and the splendor that the first two parts did.Though the movie has its movements, like the one set in 5th BC where cause for the rivalry between the terracota soldiers and the Yeoh's magicians is depicted, apart from a few movements like there is nothing much to carry home, its nowhere close to the previous "The Mummy" series. The script by Miles Miller gives flashes of "The Shanghai Noon" and "The Shanghai Knights" ( Miller's previous works).
The movie is technically strong, good cinematography, great special effects but all this supporting a very poorly written and flawed script.Coming to performances Brendan Fraser fails
to potray Rick O'Connell, Maria Bello playing Evelyn, previous played by Rachael Weisz fails to bring back her charm.Jet Li as the the ruthless ruler fails to impress, much to my suprise it was Michelle Yeah who stands out, grabbing our attention every time when present in the frame.
This Chinese expedition of Rick may best be forgotten...Watch it if you are a die hard "The Mummy " fan...
Rating: 2/5
