    Now why did I like this movie? It was just plain dumb fun, is why. It is absurd and preposterous, and proud of it.

    Anyone in the market for an overblown and totally mindless adventure-comedy will certainly get his money's worth.

    The film has one objective: to smack its audience in the face with fleeting, competing wows, over and over.

    It may not be scary, it may have to many effects, it may not make any sense why their calling this chinese emperor a mummy. All there is to say is that this movie is repetitive but sooooo entertaining. It's the most satisfying Mummy movie yet. It looks much cooler, its big, exciting, and full of great action. It's not clunky, it's excellent.… Expand

    My least favorite of the three. A lot of spectacle, but the story and characters fall flat. It's the kind of movie that reminds you that no amount of spectacle can replace having a solid story with characters you actually care about. Is it too much to ask for both, Hollywood?… Expand

    It had some redeeming qualities...but the ending was terrible. "soon after, mummies were found in Peru." if you saw the movie you know what I'm talking about. IMO this ruined the franchise.… Expand
