Topic: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Forum: JoBlo

I'm a big fan of the first two Mummy movies so I was looking forward to the Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. But holy cow, what a godawful piece of crap it is. Watching this movie was a disheartening experience. Maria Bello is a great actress but you wouldn't know that judging by her performance in this movie. She is utterly atrocious here. A shockingly ameuterish piece of acting. Infact, most of the acting all around sucks. Even Brendan Fraser, who I think is an underrated and under appreciative actor, is off his game here. His heart just doesn't seem into it. Even Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh are unable to bring anything to their parts. The first two Mummy movies have a goofy charm but here it's just sloppy and stupid with some appallingly bad dialogue. But the biggest shock of all is how bad the action scenes are. The movie is directed by Rob Cohen who has directed movies like xXx, The Fast and the Furious and Stealth. Now say what you will about those movies but at least the action scenes were well done in those movies. Here the action sequences are sloppy, inept and completely lifeless. The camera work is shoddy. It's like Cohen has gotten amnesia of all a sudden and forgotten how to direct an action scene. It's totally ameuterish. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is one of the worst movies of 2008 and the second worst movie of the summer. Not to mention the biggest disappointment for me. 3/10
