Today, I watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. And let me say that it was… crap. No offense to anyone who liked it, but I thought it was just pure garbage. The movie had a predictable and unappealing plot. It managed to be even more mindless than the first 2 Mummy movies (which were actually okay in my opinion). And the first part of the movie felt way too much like that movie Hero. Seriously, Jet Li seems to be wearing the exact same outfit from that movie. Honestly, I couldn't help but feel distracted that Rachel Weisz got replaced. Still, Maria Bello was okay. Brendan Fraser was all right. And that guy who plays Evelyn's brother, John Hannah, was more annoying than funny. I remember watching The Mummy Returns during a bus ride and ended up confusing John Hannah with Alexis Denisof for some reason. And personally, I think Alexis Denisof would've given a better performance. But, back to the point. Jet Li was okay, even though he spent part of the movie as a demonic soldier made out of chocolately goodness. Michelle Yeoh was good, but that girl who played her daughter got on my nerves. I can't say anything good about Luke Ford. I just thought his character was bland and his relationship with Lin felt too tacked on. And, I have to say that the part of the movie that made me wince the most was when yetis inexplicably came. Honestly, yetis? I wasn't expecting this movie to be realistic, but yetis? I miss Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namen. Really, the only part that I felt was interesting was the one where Jet Li inexplicably transformed into King Ghidorah. I have to say that the movie was too cheesy. And who wrote it? (checks wiki) Millar and Gough. The guys who wrote Spiderman 2, those two Shanghai movies with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, and Smallville. Wait, the script for Spiderman 2 came from those guys? But that was actually a good movie. I always thought Millar and Gough's movies were nothing but pure guilty pleasure movies. Hmm. Still, The Mummy 3's fun if you like action/adventure movies. Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 10.

And I rewatched The Dark Knight as well, mostly to get that Mummy 3 taste out. And, it's one of the very few movies I've watched twice in theatres, because it's just that good. Heath Ledger was really good as the Joker. Even from watching the trailers, I loved seeing him. It's just sad that he died. Unlike Mummy 3, TDK was more consistent. And there weren't as many useless characters. My only problem with the movie was that it was a little too long.

So that's it for the blog. Good night.
