The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Reviews

…may have been the least successful of the three films, but it’s also the best of the lot…

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2022

The only thing that really saves the film from being a complete debacle is Brendan Fraser's uncanny ability to sell even the dumbest scene.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

The Mummy saga comes to a close with this mostly tedious and somewhat interminable entry...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 29, 2020

This third installment of The Mummy franchise is full of action sequences that try to thrill, but ultimately just crash together into a rather predictable ball of mediocrity.

| Original Score: D | Oct 29, 2019

One of the most inane pieces of soulless product, churned out to make a quick buck, I have seen in quite some time.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Thankfully The Mummy doesn't forget its history and remains a tomb-raiding yarn without attempts to break genre conventions. For better or worse we get exactly what it says in the title: a mummy, a tomb and a dragon emperor.

Tomb of the Dragon Emperor isn't nearly up to the mark set by the previous modern mummy movies

| Original Score: C | Aug 17, 2017

Never trust a movie in which a character exclaims "here we go again", just as Brendan Fraser does 30 minutes into the third instalment of The Mummy franchise.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 21, 2014

Pray that this is a franchise that's dead for good this time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012

| Original Score: B | Feb 18, 2012

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 18, 2011

| Original Score: C+ | May 6, 2011

A movie series called The Mummy is naturally going to have a limited focus. Universal might have been better off focusing on the various adventures of Rick and Evelyn to give them a wider range of material. But they haven't, so mummies it is.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 8, 2011

The makers of the wildly lucrative Mummy franchise are flogging a dead corpse ... the adventure that's been disinterred is more than a little whiffy.

| Nov 19, 2010

It's a deafening, blinding department store Blu-ray demo reel that's spun wildly out of control...Tomb takes the franchise to a stunning new low."

| Original Score: D- | Jun 2, 2010

I too wish this Mummy stayed dead and buried.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 1, 2009

obviously the low-grade stuff: users will get their fix but recognize it's been cut too thin, no matter how many bells and whistles were crammed into the mainframe.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 18, 2009

...this thing is cursed.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 13, 2009

How anyone ever thought there was more than one movie in the Mummy concept, I don't know.

Full Review | Original Score: 63/100 | Dec 12, 2008

Another enjoyable bit of high adventure and malarkey.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 29, 2008
