The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor


Just back from GSC cinema after watched the premier screening of The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor at 1 Utama shopping complex. So, I quickly post something about this movie here.

In The Mummy 3, Rick O'Connel (starred by Brendan Fraser) faces the challenge from mummy again. But this time is not Egytian mummy, is Chinese mummy - Terracotta Army leaded by Emperor Han (starred by Jet Li). I believe that Emperor Han of the movie is First Emperor in China named Qin Shi Huang (or Shi Huang Ti) who ruled China from 241BCE to 210BCE as King of Great Qin. Besides Chinese mummy, you also able to see yeti (or snowman) and 3 heads dragon in this movie.

Why I said Emperor Han is Shi Huang Ti? Shi Huang Ti undertook some gigantic projects such as current version of Great Wall and Terracotta Army. Besides, he was the king always look for immortality. It all are exactly what Emperor Han does in the movie.

Basically the story started after world war 2 when Rick and his wife Evelyn (now starred by Maria Bello; previously starred by Rachel Weisz) are assigned to send the eye of Shangri-la back to China from England. But they are betrayed by their friend Professor Wilson who used Rick & Evelyn's son Alex to find the Emperor Han & his army.

With helps from Jonathan (Evelyn's brother), Lin (starred by Isabella Leong) and Lin's mother Zhi Yuan (starred by Michelle Yeoh), can O'Connel family defeat Emperor Han who helped by a group soldier leaded by General Yang (starred by Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) and Choi (starred by Jessey Meng)?

Generally this movie is considered a nice movie with a lot nice animation and fighting scenes but the movie time too short.

Let's take a look on the below trailer:



Movie Rating: 8 / 10
