The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) the son of mummy fighters Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evy (Maria Bello) O'Connell unearth the first Emperor of Qin with disasterous results.

You can't take a film like this seriously and you can't compare it to any other, because this is not what the film is about. It is simply a good 'ol family movie with great stunts. But we have to take issue with two things. Firstly, Rachel Weisz isn't in it and we missed her quirky take on the character. Maria Bello didn't bring anything to the movie. Secondly, c'mon now you casting people, are you serious? You cast Luke Ford as Brendan Fraser's son when in real life Luke is only thirteen years younger. The first thing we said when the movie started was that he looked way too old to play the son and that was a little distracting.
