The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor directed by Rob Cohen is an action adventure movie. Emperor (Jet Li) is the Emperor of china and wants immortality. He finds a witch ZI Yuan (Michelle Yeoh) who says she has the power to give him immortality. Instead of giving him immortality she curses him and his army. Centuries later we have Alex O’Connell (Luke Ford), son of famous Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn (Maria Bello) O’Connell, looking for the Emperor’s tomb. When the tomb is found the Emperor is brought back to life and the O’Connell family must team up to stop him from bringing his army back to life and ruling the world.
This movie is filled with terrible aspects. It is filled with awful, unnecessary dialogue. For example at the end of the movie Evelyn says “Kiss me” to Rick. Instead of just doing it he says “Don’t have to ask me twice”. The movie is filled with these awkward responses that serve no real purpose in the movie. The movie also has problems with what it is trying to be. It isn’t action packed enough to be a good action movie, and the comedy is so poor it doesn't work as a comedy either. An example of the poor comedy is Jonathan's ass gets set on fire and he tells Rick to “Spank my ass”.

The movie is also filled with unnatural conflicts just so there can be some resolution at the end. Such as both Rick and Evelyn have apparently promised to not do anymore adventures even though they both obviously want to. They have this just so at the end both can say they want to keep doing adventures. I think this is supposed to makes us feel happy that they are going to do what makes them happy, but this conflict came out of nowhere and was so stupid I felt nothing. It has a lot of moments where it will put or characters in danger, but will get them out of it in the most impossible way. Half way through this movie you stop caring about them being in danger because you know none of them will be hurt. It also has terrible CGI which should have not happened with its 145 million dollar budget.
In conclusion everything about this movie was bad, it is not worth your time. It was very boring and I did not have fun at all while watching it. There are no redeeming qualities about this movie. It lost all of the charm the first two movies had and I don’t recommend this movie to anyone.
