Worst movie ever. Just piss poor direction. Not cinematic at all.

First shot of Fraiser in Mummy Returns we don't see his face for 3 shots. He is backlit silhouette through the spider webs with blue light behind him, as he walks through a temple. Holding his gun. It's bad ass

Now we meet Fraisers son just like nothing boom, he is walking out side the temple and Verbaly they are telling us he is like his parents boring.

Imagine if we started out in the tomb, backlit, maybe see his hands, or gun or outfit, exploring the tomb it starts with tension and we revel it's not Rick exploring the tomb like we thought it's his son.

It's prettier and Fraser seems more into it than the other two films, but it is worse in every other department. I can't even with that dialogue. 10/100

A landmark in filmmaking history.

While it's not as offensive as say revenge of the fallen or age of extinction it's still a piss poor movie in comparison to The Mummy and even Returns. Changing the setting was just about the worst idea of all time for this series. Why not just make up a new Egyptian Mummy? 

Most of the old cast is gone, no Rachel Weisz, no Arnold Vosloo, no Ardeth Bay. 

 

Brendan Fraser and John Hannah were the only bright spots in this but they couldn't save this. Say what you will about the previous two movies but at least they tried to be fun, this one didn't even give negative fucks.
