Explorer Rick O'Connell is back to combat the resurrected Han Emperor in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex, wife Evelyn and her brother, Jonathan. And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service. (Universal Pictures)
It was almost alright but it would have been better if Rachel Weisz had still been there. I personally have a problem with Maria Bello, although I don't really have a good reason. It was weird to have her replaced especially by someone I have a problem with. Near the beginning a group of people enter a tomb some white and some chinese now the tomb is booby trapped but only the chinese people die and later a drop of blood from someone pure of heart is needed and it's taken from a white person, now I realise probably the first films had this sort of thing going on and a thousand others besides and maybe it has no greater meaning than thoughtlessness on the part of the makers but I mention it because although the film was action packed, it was pretty uninvolving and my mind wandered and pondered the meaning of such stuff during those scenes. I saw the first two again on TV recently and it's the range of characters not least Rachel Weisz' which really was part of the charm of those. Losing one of them and having someone, in a way, non-descript replace them hurt the whole film. Overall it wasn't particularly good or bad in any way.
