The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (coming December): I’m an unabashed fan of the first Mummy, a fun action romp where the special effects didn’t swallow the film’s charm. The second movie had its moments, but the fun one-liners were replaced with an annoying child actor and terribly written romantic scenes– plus, the effect of the “Scorpion King” I submit to this day is still the worst special effect in the history of big-budget action films. This film comes closer to the first movie– it attempts for humor far more often, and its special effects have some wit to them (I enjoyed the statue that came to life, ripped the stone from its face, and threw it at Brendan Fraser). It still has its flaws, such as more terrible love scenes, and a fight scene between Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh that doesn’t come close to its potential. Still, if the idea of a film with dragons, yetis, and armies of the undead fighting one another is something that makes you smile, this absolutely merits a viewing.
