Grr... damn Digital Copy!

I loved it - I love these Mummy movies.  Total escapist entertainment.

They are cutting this movie up too? This was supposed to just be a 2-disc edition!! Well, I'm not giving Universal any of my money!! I'm buying second hand when it gets cheap. With consumer spending in a mess, hardly anyone will be spending almost $30 for one movie.

I won't be buying as I saw both "the Mummy" and "Mummy Returns". Both are terrible.

You're An Idiot

Please respect other peoples opinions. Thanks

i was surprised by how much i liked it. it wasnt awesome or even great but it was a fun little ride. definately better than the 2nd one. took a bit to get used to rachel weiz being replaced but once i got passed that, good times.

i didnt buy the first two on blu-ray because i knew they'd make a collection set once this one came out so i'll get that trilogy set. i'm sure its simply the individual releases stuffed in a cheap box like Starship Troopers but hey, i like box sets. lol

oh and not that it makes a difference but that asian girl was hot and it was cool seeing jet li and michelle yeoh fight each other. i'm not a big asian cinema lover so while i'm sure they have at some point this was a first for me.

but i do have one minor nitpicky gripe....there's this book of spells and its all written in chinese and early in the movie someone reads from it outloud and of course we get subtitles. but then near the end someone reads from it again and speaks english as if its written that way. i'm anal, what can i say. lol

Personally I don't think it would've killed her to just do the third one, and be done with it. But I'd heard she wanted to pursue more dramatic roles and a few independent films. I'd like to see the one she was in recently "Blueberry Nights" I believe it was called. But still if the main cast was still intact I prolly would've seen this in theaters. I know they cast an older actor to play Alex, but that was necessary since the age difference wouldn't look right considering the timeframe.

granted these are all just rumors and stories we hear and read but....i heard that rachel was totally willing and ready to do this but then she saw the script and didnt like it so she turned it down.

So yea, definitely not nearly as good and the first two, but I actually found some little enjoyment in it. Fraser was good as always and Jon Hannah still had some good laughs.  Rachel Weisz was totally missed, but Maria Bello did a surprisingly decent job and seemed to be having the most fun.  Will buy the 2-Disc to complete the collection though, it does sound pretty packed with extras.

It's an opinion. Get over it and move on with your life.

I absolutely loved the 1st one.... tolerated the 2nd.... but the 3rd?

I'm about to be 29 next month and I had never walked out on a movie in my life.

All that changed, the day I paid to see "Tomb"...... (Uhhh, btw it was the "field goal kick" that finally did me in.)

i agree as well with most of u guys, this movie sucked!!!

it was a disaster!!

but i must complete the trilogy, but i wont ever spend more money on special editions!

It would have been great if the internet had been around for the last 100 years instead of basically the last 10+ years to see how many people would have hated what are now considered classics.  I say this because the Mummy series really is a through back to early days of cinema and how series like Abbott and Costello, Road movies and a lot of movies like The Mummy where the scripts were simply terrible but people went to see them because it was escapism at it's finest very much like todays series' are.  I've said it before and here it goes again, not every movie is a homerun.  Most are hits and some complete strikeouts.  Watching baseball as I write this doesn't help the analogy but there it is.  Most movies are simply made for entertainment.  Sure, they insult our intelligence most of the time but they do play to the lowest common demoninator and therefore, you sometimes need to check your IQ at the door.  I hope they make 10 more Mummy movies and I don't care how schlocky they are.  Their entertaining and for $6 to $12, I ask, just how entertained to you want to be all air conditioned in a captains chair sipping soda, munching on popcorn and forgetting that the country is basically in the toilet right now and your bills need to be paid.  I ask, how much?

Again, an extremely dumb but fun movie with subpar CGI. The action sequences would've been a lot more enjoyable if the editors strayed from the rapid-fire editing most action movies are prone to these days (as well as the shaky cam approach, which mars the beautiful cinematography).

And I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought Maria Bello was a capable replacement for Rachel Weisz. She looked nothing like Weisz, but I thought she made the character her own. Not to mention the first two "Mummy" movies weren't exactly high-class (or smart) entertainment.

I'll give it a watch.
