I know that a lot of people positively loath it when someone comments that they dislike a movie before it has even been made, but I’m sorry I already pretty much hate THE MUMMY 3. I just don’t know why it’s happening. I don’t know, I might be a little harsh towards the film because even though he seems like a thoroughly decent guy, I just can’t appreciate Brendan Fraser as a leading man. I also hate to see Jet Li have to do time as a Mummy. Anyway, up-and-coming Aussie actor Luke Ford (THE BLACK BALLOON) has taken the role as Fraser’s kid, Alex. The story will look at what happens when Alex discovers the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin… Actually, I’m going to let you guess the end of that synopsis, as I conduct a little experiment:
The story will look at what happens when Alex discovers the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin…
a) … who is angry about being woken and seeks revenge upon the O’Connell family and mankind as a whole.
b) … who seeing what mankind has become in his absence, vows to eradicate it.
c) … who mistakes Alex for a nunchuk wielding goblin that had once cheated him in a shell game.
d) … who awakens as a shape-shifter that was for some reason cursed by a female wizard.
If you went for option (d) then you will be pleased when you check this movie out, but if every sensibility told you it had to be either (a) or (b), well then you, like me, must at least hate this movie a little bit.
