The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (The Mummy 3)

"Reheating the ingredients can't disguise how stale they are, as setpiece after setpiece strains to whip up excitement, only to fall flat while reminding of previous sequences that did such things ever so much better." 

"The kindest thing to be said for this frantic, cluttered mess of cheesy computer-generated action-adventure clichés is that at least you can see how the estimated $175 million budget was spent." 

"Moviegoers who knowingly buy a ticket for 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' are going to get exactly what they expect: There is a mummy, a tomb, a dragon and an emperor. And the movie about them is all that it could be (...) The best in the 'Mummy' series (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Oh, no, not again. (...) Tiresome and messy, (...) The prologue was the best part." 

"For a movie about the undead, this lacks any supernatural chills (...) Rob Cohen directed, incoherently" 

"'Dragon Emperor' plods along mechanically through its first hour, hitting all the expected notes with bland efficiency (...) [It] succeeds largely through sheer excess" 

"This is family entertainment of the least demanding kind, with a paucity of invention and an over-abundance of special effects" 

"It's not hard to pick holes in 'Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' (...) In fact, I can think of almost nothing good to say about the film, except that I enjoyed it immensely."
