Movie Review : Mummy Returns - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor


I've read some reviews that comparing this movie with previous 2 Mummy movies. Well, most of them said that the Mummy this time not that brutal enough! True. Its true.

Other than that, I should say that this movie worth your money. The storyline pretty much simple and straight forward. Also, we have Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in this movie. Yeah, another good reason why you should watch this movie.

Brendan Fraser this time together with his wife, son and assistant venture to China. It appeared that his son had awaken a Wicked chinese emperor.

Earlier in the movie, it showed the history of who is this Dragon Emperor. Jet Li played as a Emperor who wants to be immortal with the help of a Witch, played by Michelle Yeoh. But, the Witch in returns cast a spell for the Emperor and his army which sealed them underground. I think so. Hehe.

Decades later, Brendan Fraser's son excavated and awaken this emperor. The Witch and his daughter is the one who is immortal. Their job was to guard the tomb. Unfortunately they failed. In returns, they need to cooperate with Brendan's group to defeat the Emperor. The rest is history. Better watch it yourself.
Moan of the movie
Jet Li. IMO, I think that Jet Li specialties in Kung Fu pretty much under-use in this movie.
Moment of the movie
The Witch resurrect another army to go against the Emperor's army. She had to sacrifice her immortality though.
Rating
3.5/5
