Maybe 2 was enough

Just watched the third installment of the Mummy trilogy, and somehow have the feeling of not satisfied la. Most of the cast return, with one exception being Maria Bello, who in her own right is an excellent actress, who seemed to try the british accent a little too hard. This movie seemed to feel the effect of losing Raquel Weisz.

The story of good fighting evil over a loooong period of time is not new, but maybe Steven S should have stuck to an Egyptian base instead. Don't get me wrong, the show was ok, just not as good as the previous two. Maybe to me the idea of a Mummy involved pyramids, lots of sand and Dung beetles.

Where the story in the previous two had great continuity, with lots of breakneck (literally) action, this one fell about a Terracotta step short. There was a lot of CGI, mostly cool, but some were a little rushed. Heck even the story line seemed to incorporate too many subplots for my taste.

I'd still say go watch it to judge for yourself. Half the movie is in Mandarin, due to Jet Li being a few-thousand year old Emperor. and somehow, hhmm..... i donno ....just have that feeling like movie could have been so much more.

Good enough to be a 2.5 out of 5 star show, this one will entertain, cause you to scratch your head and at the same time, bring the trilogy to an end, I Hope!"
