The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2006)

HALLOWEEN REVIEWS 2021

Director: Rob Cohen

Writers: Alfred Gough& Miles Millar

Stars: Brendan Fraser, Maria Bello, Luke Ford, Jet Li, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Isabella Leong



Rick and Evy O'Connell (Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello) go back into action against mummies when their adult son (Luke Ford) inadvertently awakens an ancient Chinese warlord (Jet Li) who is still bent on conquering the world.

 


I enjoyed the earliest parts of this film most.

 


The scenes showing the O'Connells chafing under the boredom of their sedate, wealthy lifestyle are quite humorous.

 


Once the action gets underway, it's just a lot of been-there-done-that. 



Many of the action sequences are nearly incomprehensible due to chaotic, frenetic editing.
