Now this is why I say MUMMy’s should not be taken to China…



The Hue and cry being raised about the new release of the week, ”Mummy 3 – the Emperor rises back” is something which I feel isn’t worthy enough for the movie itself.

Given the fact that iam a Die hard fan of Mummy 1 & 2,which unearthed the Curiosity to know more about Egypt/Pharohs/ Gold Hunts, that I went to the extent of Wikipediaing the subject. And would definitely like to give it a watch again on HBO or Start Movies.

All set and done I along with my collegues planned to watch out the new version in the series and even went to the extent of Bunking Office (from Friday afternoon as we were quite sure that from Friday First show we may not make up the tickets). Although we missed the first 5 minutes of movie which I guess more of context setting in china about the emperor and his army the sight of Brenden Fraser brought in the happiness and my adrenaline started to pump up with a curiosity about the adventure to be set up.

But unlike the earlier versions the First Disappointment came, in the form of new new heroine (for Mr. Fraser).Little did I realize that the movie was being diverted from the main track as the characters in the movie to started to slowly move from west to east viz.,china (instead of Egypt or any other African place).

When we realized that Alex the Cute son in Mummy 2 has grown up and is going to fight now against mummy, I feared that this is similar on the lines of Indian jones 4 the latest in the closet. Bollywood/Indian Films are truly inspiring Hollywood. Where in the family fight is being passed on generations to rescue Good averting the Baddies.

Hopefully coming summer Spider Man and Bat man don’t urn up the trend of Indian Jones and Mummy.

And thirdly why in the bloody hell would any body want to bring the concept of Mummy to China where in every kid in the block is fanatic about Marshall arts. I totally went aghast when I saw that Mummy was performing Marshall Arts.

I don’t say that the movie is completely bad but only venting out my disappointment over my Expectations on Mummy. There are a Couple of Gud scenes and the Audio recording was were very gud, infact my collegue who sat beside me started to jerk as she saw the emperor raising back.
