The Mummy : Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008) 8/10

Starring : Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Luke Ford, Isabella Leong
Director : Rob Cohen
Running Time : 106 mins

It’s 1946, and the son of Rick (Fraser) and Evelyn O’Connell (Bello), Alex O’Connell (Ford), has discovered the tomb of Emperor Han (Li), a powerful man who was cursed by a witch (Yeoh) to spend the rest of eternity in a frozen state. Unfortunately the curse is broken, and now the millennia old mummy is on the rampage, and Alex must call on his parents expertise in the field of rampaging mummy’s to stop the man before he enslaves the human race.

I actually enjoyed this long awaited sequel, and found the storyline a lot more refreshing than The Mummy Returns. Here we are introduced to a series of new characters, rather than recycling the one’s from the original movie, and we actually get to see a very new and very different mummy. It was a shame that Rachel Weisz wasn’t in this edition, but the movie still managed to survive without her. Well worth watching for Mummy fans.
