The O’Connells return for the third installment of the highly anticipated third movie of the Mummy series. Rick and Evelyn O’Connell return to face the Dragon Empreror Han (Jet Li) who was raised from the dead by a now adult Alex. There were many things wrong with this movie but I’ll start with what was right. Jet Li was good in his role……….That’s it. What was bad? Where to begin? The special effects were mediocre, the acting was subpar. And the thing that made the first two movies good was the chemistry between Rachel Weisz and Brendan Frasier. The chemistry was nonexistant between Frasier and Mario Bello. Weisz’s interpretation of the sexy librarian/bookworm is almost iconic. So, it stands to reason that an average actress of Bello’s calibur would not stand up to Weisz’s portrayal. If you are a fan of the series you will leave the movie feeling less than satisfied. But Jet Li was good.
