Anything Goes

Mummy 3 is a good movie. We see the O’Connells with Brendan Frasier’s wife’s brother plus their son (most sequel movies always introduce a child, young or old, at some point) battle it out with another mummy, this time, Jet Li. The fight scenes are good, we finally see a royal rumble battle between good and bad mummies. Jet Li fighting scenes were kind of lame but it’s understandable since if they would have applied Jet Li’s expertise in martial arts then the O’Connells would be easiily pawned. And it was nice to see some yetis fight with the good sides. The O’Connells just had been chased around with supernatural types previously so this time, it was a sigh of relief for them because they have some help. I can’t figure out why they did not ask for the Chinese government’s help once the Emperor awoke. General Ming looked funny when he became a mummy. This, for me is Brendan Frasier’s best set of movies.

From IMDB’s page, Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) to spend eternity in suspended animation, China’s ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have lain forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O’Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents. As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force…unless the O’Connells can stop him first

There you have it. This is the first time in the trilogy that there is a huge battle between mummies, for a change.
