Résumés(1)
Le troisième épisode de la saga La Momie nous transporte cette fois en Asie pour une nouvelle aventure qui verra Rick O'Connell et les siens livrer un combat sans merci à l'Empereur Dragon. Des catacombes de la Chine antique aux sommets de l'Himalaya, l'explorateur intrépide, son jeune fils Alex, sa femme Evelyn et son beau-frère Jonathan affronteront la Momie ressuscitée du plus cruel conquérant de Chine.
Victimes d'une sorcière maléfique, l'Empereur Dragon et ses 5000 soldats ont été relégués pour l'éternité dans les limbes. L'immense armée de terre cuite reposera ainsi durant 2000 ans, oubliée de tous, jusqu'à ce qu'Alex commette l'erreur de réveiller son chef. Pour éviter une vague de méfaits, Rick devra appeler à la rescousse les seules personnes plus habiles que lui à combattre les morts-vivants: sa propre famille...

This is easy to predict and even easier to forget crap which at times is not even good enough for that one single use. Cohen is a purely action director, so it all comes down to overblown acrobatic escapades, which are ably followed by special effects, but their sterility knows no bounds. It lacks any ounce of perspective (and no, Liam Cunningham doesn't save it), and thus you're more likely to identify scenes stolen from elsewhere. I don't mind Maria Bello (I like her a lot as an actress), but as a replacement for Rachel Weisz, she was a total casting mistake. The family etudes are tired and the whole is desperately boring.

Jet Li has risen from the dead and decided to take over the world. Fortunately, Rick O'Connell and his family are here to stop him. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is hampered by poorly shot action sequences, and while there is always something going on screen, you rarely come across a genuinely entertaining moment in the barrage of mediocre visual effects and toe-curling dialogue. This wannabe adventure film that masquerades as ideal family entertainment is actually a prime example of wasted potential.

Certainly effective, but more like an overpriced video game. If it weren’t for the solid cast and outstanding ending, it would have been a tragedy. Jet Li is criminally underused and I bet that he managed to film his part in three days max, but luckily he makes a good villain and so he manages to impress despite everything. And when I think back to the trailers, it looked so promising. Oh dear.

I really wasn’t asking too much from “I’ve even got a long way to go to become a routineer". All I wanted was a disposable harmless summer nonsense movie. But Cohen couldn’t even manage that. Instead, through his approach of “sort of humor, sort of screenplay, sort of blockbuster" he spreads an epidemic. The signs start to show somewhere around the tenth minute. First just in a few individuals. Then it spread quickly to the rest of the audience. Not even kids are immune. The first sign is massive yawning, the second nodding, the third is sleeping on the escalator when leaving the movie theater and the fourth is a disservice to Hollywood. After this, nobody can be surprised that so many people are allergic to it. I believe that if they organized a mass simultaneous projection of this movie around the planet, it would get into the Guinness Book of Records. For the largest number of people sleeping at one moment. There’s only one cure for this. Indy treatment.

The third installment came like an uninvited poor relative you dislike even before they come knocking. However, while everyone expectedly wanted to kick it out, I found a way to it. And this despite my suffering from the loss of Rachel Weisz and therefore the inevitable transformation of Evelyn into a character who is neither a writer nor an adventurer, just a mandatory maternal element. With the change of director, it also lost a class of more childish humor, but I am still a viewer who hears, admires Brendan Fraser's adventurous position in big-budget archaeological trips, and holds my breath during the prologue, the car chase, or the avalanche. Although I was one of the worst prophets, I must now admit that I was surprisingly wrong. Shanghai and the Himalayas cannot replace Egypt and London, but still – I am grateful for my beloved series only dropping one class and not ending as deep as it could have under the hands of another team.
