The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen continues the tale set into motion by director Stephen Sommers with this globe-trotting adventure that finds explorer Rick O'Connell and son attempting to thwart a resurrected emperor's (Jet Li) plan to enslave the entire human race. It's been 2,000 years since China's merciless Emperor Han and his formidable army were entombed in terra cotta clay by a double-dealing sorceress (Michelle Yeoh), but now, after centuries in suspended animation, an ancient curse is about to be broken. Thanks to his childhood adventures alongside father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello), dashing young archeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) is more than familiar with the power of the supernatural. After he is tricked into awakening the dreaded emperor from his eternal slumber, however, the frightened young adventurer is forced to seek out the wisdom of his parents -- both of whom have had their fair share of experience battling the legions of the undead. Should the fierce monarch prove capable of awakening his powerful terra cotta army, his diabolical plan for world domination will finally be set into motion. Of course, the one factor that this emperor mummy failed to consider while solidifying his power-mad plans was the O'Connells, and before this battle is over, the monstrous monarch will be forced to contend with the one family that isn't frightened by a few rickety reanimated corpses. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie was Ok it starts out like any other mummy movie with a returning cast including Brendan Fraser's son all grown up now. I thought that this movie was well done with overall good actions scenes just like the previous films. I thought that Jet Li wasn't a very good mummy. He lacked the expressions from the previous mummies. Overall I thought this movie was good but not as good as the previous movies

    replacing the lead female actor is the death knoll for this "series", completely ruined it

    Not enough Brendan and Not enough Rachel Wess. Their romance is really the key of the success of the previous Mummy films. Plus, Arnold Vosloo is ten times (if not hundred) better mummy than (i really can't act) Jet Li. And how did they replace the cute boy in the 2nd by this troll - Luke ford? who is that? This fool can compete with Jet Li with the worst acting in the film. The final nail is that why -- why would you give the director job to the dude that's done "The Fast and the Furious"? Besides the cars, TFATF is a complete joke as a film. The only bright spot is really the new girl, Isabella Leong. That's that.

    Yes   |   No
