The Mummy 3: Chinese Mummies

Brendan Fraser is back on board for the third Mummy flick despite the absence of Rachel Weisz, who played Evie in the previous two films. I cannot believe it’s been seven years since the last one. At least you can’t say they rushed into anything.

Still, at first glance, the idea of a mummy tale set in China is a bit of a stretch. Have no idea what I’m referring to? Then, you need to watch the trailer below and see these Chinese mummies for yourself.

Trailer Check:

See? Crazy, right? There’s so much going on in that trailer. I know you have to get creative sometimes, but this premise is something I’d expect from the creators of WarBirds or some other SciFi Channel production. Michelle Yeoh conjures up some ancient army of Chinese zombies that have just hanging out under the Great Wall of China. Then you got Jet Li’s dragon emperor riding that red-eyed horse everywhere. Not to mention, adventurer/mummy killer Rick O’Connell is now supposed to have a grown up son (all while merely aging only thirteen years since the last movie)!

But who am I kidding? I’m totally gonna see it like the sucker that I am, since I’ve seen the first movie like 5000 times (Don’t ask why.). Obviously, I’m not gonna have my expectations up too high. Like Fraser said during his TCA interview: “Folks, it’s a movie. Relax.” I’m gonna just watch and see what happens.
