The Mummy Returns Once Again

Brendan Fraser returned for the third edition of the Mummy films. Jet Li portrays a corrupt leader in ancient China who is brought back from the dead. The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was not as good as the first, but it was entertaining and managed to keep your attention.
Faser’s wife is portrayed by Maria Bello who came in for the third edition of the Mummy series. She lacked the chemistry as the previous actress Rachel Weisz had with Brendan yet she managed to carry the movie just as well. If you are into the Mummy series just don’t expect too much and you will enjoy the ride it takes you on. The special effects were good and there were moments that were simply unrealistic and silly, but it didn’t seem to matter. You go to see the Mummy to be taken to a different place where this film managed to do so. Escaping from your every day life is needed at times. If a film can help you escape for awhile then it did its job.
If you are a fan of Brendan or if you enjoy the Mummy series or simply want to watch something that will allow you to escape then watch this film. It isn’t great, but it is good.
