For those of you who think everyone loves this movie, here
you can look over a few of the most recent reviews of "The Mummy: Tomb of
the Dragon Emperor" that don't kiss up and pretend it was a good film.
If this were [Maria] Bello's first film, I guarantee this
would have been the last we'd seen of her...

-- Hopefully one day we'll be able to
sue for experiences like this. Until then just avoid them - because if you
don't, Rob Cohen will keep making them.

I was never a fan of the first two, but those are masterpieces compared to
this clunk ‘o junk.
Richard Roeper

--
Frantic but dull, even dreary.

So utterly bereft of any memorable moments that it becomes a bit of a bore.
Empire Magazine
--
Easily the summer’s feeblest blockbuster, this isn’t even one the kids will
enjoy, thanks to a dry-as-dust first half and a final hour that could be
marketed as a cure for insomnia.
Daily Mirror [UK]
--
It's one thing to make a film for the pre-teen market, it's quite another to
make a film that sounds like it was written by one.

Mindless popcorn movies are fine, as long as they're inventive and don't
treat their audience like idiots. But this one isn't, and does.
Christopher Tookey
Daily Mail [UK]
--
Disappointing threequel with a badly written script, irritating characters,
dodgy CGI work, a miscast Maria Bello and an underused Jet Li.

The sloppiness of the entire enterprise is immediately evident by the fact
that the 27-year-old Ford looks nowhere near young enough to be playing the
son of 39-year-old Fraser and 41-year-old Bello. From there, the movie only
gets more absurd.

The best news about this clangorous clunker is that it may well have
vanquished the Mummy franchise.
Joe Morgenstern

The new Mummy is, how can I put it? Just freakin' awful.
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
--
The third installment of the Mummy franchise, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, is
by far the weakest.
Stephen Holden
New York Times
--
Makes the first two Mummy films seem like The Godfather I and II.
Nick Schager
Slant Magazine
--
The movie feels like the direct-to-dvd version of The Mummy, complete with
cheesy, already-done CG effects, and best of all, not a single actual mummy
in the entire movie.
