that's all I got
-
...but I'm sure the movie will be just dreadful as usual.
-
Bitches...
-
Not sure how I feel about that. Kind of like the devil you know, you know?
-
But I'll still pass.
-
that the CGI work in this film is considerably better than in all of the others. I'm just saying...
-
Where we last saw him carried off.
-
Who knew?
-
are we going to get a seperate 'dragon emperor' movie after this one, like the scorpion king?
then the next mummy will be south american, and be the 'jaguar chief'? and the next one will be a peat bog mummy from the UK and be the 'wolf prince'?
only so many places used mummification.
..the dragon emperor is such an uninspired subtitle.

by norm
The Mummy 3. Seriously?
-
Don't do it!
-
It looks like a death metal album cover by an obscure Norwegian band with no money. Surely, there's something cooler than that to be had from an army of Chinese mummies?
-
She was the only decent thing this franchise had, and now what are we left with? Brenden's ugly mug and a fuckton of shitty cg. No tank you.
-
Even if Jet Li is even in his bad movies (and we all know that this is gonna be on of them) damn cool to watch.
-
were accidental.corpses placed in coffins in the cliffs of one particular region ended up well preserved because of the climate and altitude. this guy is probably going to be some bastard mix of ghengis kahn and the emperor who had all those statues of soldiers buried with him. even he was only a skeleton and some jade armor when they found him.long story short, terra cotta soldiers will be the new hench mummies, i'm just saying. be warned.
-
Brenden Frasier....I heard he's actually a talented actor, yet sits around for easy paycheck dreck like this. Silly kid.

-
... the terra cotta warriors
-
Brendan Frasier's hair plugs
-
...they must've given him more money I take it.
-
..this time, it's ancient Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, the guy who built the Great Wall of China and is buried in a huge, as-yet unearthed tomb guarded by an entire army of terracotta soldiers (which were excavated).
-
We find out that inside those terra cotta shells lies an army of the undead, right?
And as for Ms. Weisz, when you are the weakest link in a Brandon Frasier movie, you have to be pretty awful. -
from a while ago. I'll see it just because Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh are in it.
-
...why all mummies apparently have the same powers as the Sandman...
-
... at least Imhotep did, anyway...
-
coincidence thought. but hey, it's a fun movie, i hope this is too, although i gotta say Weisz is probably one of the best parts about the first films. Good to see they still have that patented sommers big open jaw look, even if he isn't directing. hehehe, even in van helsing those damn vampires did it.
-
"big open jaw look, even if he isn't directing. hehehe, even in van helsing those damn vampires did it."
and don't forget the 'vampies' in i am legend. apparently big dopey animated mouths are scary, not stupid. -
who looks like George Harrison be in it?
-
My jaw was like that after sitting through the shit-fest that is Mummy 2 but yeah, one was fun.
-
And as ol' Tom Bodet would say: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
Why give us this and not a Scorpion King 2???
-
Explain her appeal, somebody. Now.
-
Oh, I see. I wondered what happened to him.
-
doing in a girl like this?" hahah classic. You know this first one isn't bad at all. And after looking through some of those videos on his blog i'm kinda excited about this 3rd one... Might watch the second one tomorrow too, although i don't remember liking that as much.... never saw scorpion king.. maybe i should watch that too? hmmm nah.
-
... and Oded Fehr and some of the other support cast members, this is not going to be a Mummy movie.
The franchise cannot replace Weisz. -
Wow!!! Fraser & Cohen, together!!! Indana who? Iron what?
-
i expect brendan to say that at some point, as well as 'not again' or 'why does this always happen to me' kinda shit they were already pulling in the first one.sad thing is he's right. how about some non-mummy related adventures?
they have already run out of plausible mummies. aren't there some other classic monsters or civilization myths threatening the world? -
pulling in the first SEQUEL,
-
I'll go but I'll hate myself in the morning for it.
-
methinks it is. when it comes out maybe they'll be an eroding harry mummy head in the corner. place your bets now.
-
I loved the first Mummy film. It's amazing how they could a film as boring as the original Mummy and transform it into a heartpounding rollercoaster like this.
-
I may go see this. Cool.
-
These Mummy movies are dreadful.
-
...for their third act. Like Pirates. Chow yun fat in that, Li in this, hmm, for which franchise will Jackie Chan play the asian minstrel show?? (again)
-
...it's a mummy in name only, as in long-dead evil ruler guy coming back from the dead for some thing or other. Supposedly this one has yetis and all kinds of far east supernatural critters. I'll watch anything with yetis and bigfeet in them.
-
its about "F"ing time that made another one ......i cant wait for this..... especially as they replaced Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello .. supposedly they are going to be making 2 more.....
-
Can someone explain to me how this curse, this "houm-dai", is supposedly the worst thing that can befall anybody, yet bestows the cursee with almost limitless supernatural powers which can allow him or her to basically rule the planet?
"You have fucked the Pharoah's wife. Now you must suffer... the... HOUM-DAI!"
"Er... okay."
Reminds me of that Monty Python Spanish Inquisition skit:
"Cardinal Biggles... Bring forth... the COMFY CHAIR!!!" -
Shows how much they give a fuck! They can't even be arsed to have mummies in this one! and the last 3 were SHEEEEIIIITE! especially the Sonic Ear bleeding CG mishmash that was the Sequel! Spielberg and Indy will Whip all ass this summer as he shows these silly tits how it's done.
-
Not that it matters. I hated the first Mummy and didn't bother with the second.
-
...the Mummy ride at the Universal Studios theme parks is the bomb.
-
I was gonna say the same thing. Go even further with Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4 or that Asian dude in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies, who I actually thought was Jet Li until I looked it up five seconds ago.
Does seem like 3rd installments or attempts at reinvigorating a franchise always throw in some Asian. Hell, I'm surprised Indy 4 wasn't set in Asia. Kudos to them for avoiding that. -
Looks like it won't be in egypt anymore, which is fine. I'm tired of sand.
MUMMY 3: Ancient Chinese Secret! -
if the mummy in this flick really was a dead dude all wrapped up in surgical tape?
-
Jet Li is a pretty intelligent guy and he takes the roles he wants, period. He is also going to be a big draw for this film (he does share the main billing with Brenden) so I think it's pretty tacky to equate his work to "an Asian Minstrel show." Such a statement implies the man is letting himself be exploited by the nasty white man and I simply don't buy it. If you find the concept of the Asian theme a cliche' that's fine but let's not go beyond the boundaries of common sense.
-
Fool me once, shame on you...Fool me twice, shame on me...Fool me three times and I am officially and idiot!
-
wow didnt know he had become the asian sam jackson. flash some money his way and he'll do any movie..
-
I've been wondering for quite a while where the hell this series went. It had a pretty fun Saturday-afternoon-nothing-else-to-do-but-sit-in-a-cool-theatre-watch-a-flick-and-eat-popcorn kinda vibe. Sorta like the National Treasure movies. Then they canned it at the second one. (I don't count The Scorpion King, since it was more of a prequel) Glad to see Frasier and crew back for another one.
-
Kept putt ing spa ces in my post!
-
Well, got to give him props for taking the proper steps to create a legacy of shit. Way to go guy.
-
I can't stop laughing
-
the chinese, such a cruel race. free tibet you motherfuckers
-
Uh, yeah...they can and did. If you were paying attention they replaced Katie Holmes in Batman too, fanboy retard.
-
His American work has been uneven but Kiss of the Dragon is a great little flick and Unleashed is pretty damn great too. Fearless is one of the most cerebral and authentic martial arts films to ever get a wide stateside release and I'm also a pretty big fan of Forbidden Kingdom. As to his Asian work, his resume is the stuff of gods; Fist of Legend alone is reason to venerate the man and Hero is sublime. To be sure he’s made his share of shit, as has Chan, but that does nothing to diminish their incredibly legacies.
-
What ever happened to the idea of a horror movie that wasn't all bull-shit CGI effects, lame-ass monsters, and obnoxious, hedonistic teenagers getting their eyeballs sliced from their sockets?
Even ghost movies nowadays have to have copious shots of, gauzy, see-through apparitions and manufactured, sudden scares. How about THE CHANGELING, with George C. Scott? Or the original THE HAUNTING? Or GHOST STORY, starring an elderly Fred Estaire? Freakin' awesome movies with honestly earned moments of fright.
I mean Jesus, give me THE TINGLER, for crying out loud, just spare me all this special-effects laden dreck!
THE EXORCIST scared the shit out of me when I was 12. JAWS made me terrified of large bodies of water for years (and I grew up around lakes, not the ocean). OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN with Peter Weller was one hell of an effective freak-out of a movie. No ridiculous special effects, just well-crafted, tension-building, blood-curdling terror.
Easy access to CGI and a prurient (or should I say puerile?) interest in torture has ruined the genre.
-
... the world could EVER face! They put the Nazis, the Soviets and Al Qaeda to shame! Yeas... I AM being sarcastic, by the way...
-
Like, Zoinks, Scoob!!
-
The Changeling is fantastic. Just thinking about the rubber ball scene gives me chills.
-
The Chinese are not a race, you dope.
-
he's like the Chris Tucker of white people.
-
Yeah, he filmed his cameo for GI Joe. (snicker)
-
And if the movie sucks just half as much ass as The Mummy 2 did, we're in for a real shitfest. I don't get it. Even the first Mummy movie was crap. I'd rather see "Dude, Where's My Car? 2: My Car's Still Lost". Or maybe Daredevil 2: Dare to be Deviler". Absolute shit.
-
Pass
-
What was the last genuinely tense scary movie that came out? The Blair Witch Project? That movie had a $3.00 special effects budget. Just some rocks and twigs and somebody slapping a tent. The moment I see a CGI effect in a horror movie, it kills it for me. Save that stuff for Sci-fi and action movies. Give me the original Omen, or the original Amityville Horror any day over today's crap.
-
she will be missed.
-
Because you can never get enough of a guy turning into sand.
-
sort of like Moose.
-
And, he's in this summer's "Journey to the Center of the Earth"! In 3-D!! What's that noise? Crickets?
-
I'm not really missing Sommers that much especially since I want to see what the hell he's going to do with the G.I. Joe movie, but Cohen hasn't made a single good film in his career. They should have gotten someone like Len Wiseman maybe.
-
Sorry to burst your linguistic bubble, but the plural of "yeti" is "yetis" - at least according to the American Heritage Dictionary.
-
some old-fashioned scary moments. Like being afraid to go the the bathroom at night for fear of running into a ghost. Most people only remember the catchphrase and twist, but it did have some genuinely creepy scenes. Same can be said for Session 9. But then again, neither one is a recent film.
-
I think he did an ok job on the previous Mummy films, although they were silly and mindless. Of course Van Helsing was one of the worst movies ever. For better or worse he's busy with G.I Joe now. Rob Cohen made the miserable Stealth and XXX. But he's also been around long enough to do some decent things, like work on Witches of Eastwick, Serpent and the Rainbow, and Running Man. Overall I don't even care about a third Mummy, but since Jet Li is in it I'm a tad curious. Too bad no Rachel Weisz-eye candy!
-
We get two Brendan Fraser movies this Summer. That's two too many...
-
THE SIXTH SENSE is a good call. It’s one of the few ghost stories in recent memory that allows atmosphere and what is unseen to drive the building of tension. I also liked THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE and THE OTHERS. I haven't seen THE ORPHANAGE, so I can't comment on that one.
As for the Asian ghost movies, they have creepy moments and effectively shot atmospherics, but I must admit that they have a somewhat inscrutable "Asian-ness" to their narratives that eludes me. I like some of them, but a lot of times I don't know what the hell is going on.
In general, I'd like to see a resurgence of independent ghost/horror films that don't rely so much on the cat-jumping-out-of-the-closet scares that seem to be so popular and more on the slow, creeping horror I get when I watch the classics.
The shit I really hate is stuff like GHOST SHIP, DARKNESS, THIRTEEN GHOSTS, THE MESSENGERS, DARKNESS FALLS, and that stupid movie where the ghost rips your tongue out if you scream (so bad I can’t even remember the name). It’s like the people who make these films have only ever seen other movies just like the crap they’re filming, like no other kind of ghost movie has ever passed before their eyes. It’s kind of depressing, actually.
-
Does that mean you have multiple personalities? Or are you really just one Yeti like Doc said.
-
Those would be Bigfoot
-
get it straight, peeps.
-
and a redneck term.
sasquatch is one american indian term for the same thing, therefore older and even more credible.
carry on -
It made no sense. The Tooth Fairy kills anyone who sees her, but in 50 years or so only a handful of people have been killed. Suddenly, everyone and their uncle is seeing her and wholesale slaughter follows. And the effects were bad.Anyone see Haunted with Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale? It does a good job of building tension in the beginning. But the film is destroyed by the hilariously bad special effects. Even a naked Kate Beckinsale can't save it.
-
a TROLL remake/reboot/prequel? is in the works for 2009!
and Noah Hathaway is in it, listed as someone named 'TUROK'?
wtf? -
But she is otherwise an excellent actress.

by proman1984
But the execution just blows!
-
Sequels have lame titles most times.
-
Yeah, just like The Dark Knight.
-
The second one was retarded, and not in a fun my-nephew-has-down-syndrome kind of way.
-
Therefore, your opiniom is as shit as your tastes in movies. Go jerk off to a Michael Bay movie.
-
They should warn people and put, in big bold letters: "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF STEALTH, XXX, FAST AND THE FURIOUS AND THE SKULLS". That way people can do something more constructive with their afternoon.
Yeah, Rob Cohen has "Executive Produced" some great movies but what does that have to do with the artistic content of a film? -
The Mummy 3? you gotta be kidding
-
They're just fun little comical adventures... Did people really think they were attempting some serious horror here with state of the art effects? Really???
-
C'mon, guys. Create funny titles for Mummy 3!
-
...remains one of the funniest awful CGI effects in history.
-
...for me to poop on.
-
Color me interested all of a sudden.
-
What a dick! Judging by his blog he's making the film single handedly 'I have just completed 300 of 900 effects shots' he says. Should change the site to 'Aint straight to video action movies cool'
-
No, he didn't retire from acting. he's retired from martial arts genre films. Although I bet they'll have him doing loads of "chop-socky" action in this.

by big_bubbaloola
fantastic. I went on it about 3 years ago and after the bit with the celing of fire, I think my eyebrows have only just now grown back to full lustrous strength!
-
...who really gives a fuck about a new Mummy film? No one buys the cheap pretender when the real deal is there and readily available for the same price, after all. Now Brendan Fraser can be fun sometimes I guess, and sometimes when he gets a chance he can even act, but boy has he ever been in a whole heap of cinematic shit, including the last Mummy film, which was just atrocious, and any way you cut it his role in these films is still nothing other than a cheap pretender to the throne that is owned lock, stock and barrel by one Henry Jones junior.Rob Cohen directing a sequel to The Mummy Returns. Yeah, fuck that.
-
The first was dumb but great 'Oh, are we going hunting?'
The second was dumber and less great, but had nice moments (Fraser's butterfly knife, telling Ardeth Bay to lighten up in the face of the apocalypse,the O'Connell kid annoying the shit out of Lock-Nah, the dirigible was insanely charming right up until it became an F/A-18 on steroids)...
Rob Cohen? Well, Stealth was a pretty entertaining, visually impressive retarted racist piece of shit... I never saw XXX, but XXX 2 (ahem - 'The Next Level') gave us a terrific finale, so I guess we owe some thanks to Cohen for that... indirectly. There you go Rob, someone just sort-of thanked you. Treasure the moment.
We're just going to have to sit back with a tub of popcorn (bought at the pertrol station of course) and our brains way, way in neutral with this one, and not expect The Godfather (or whatever film I'm supposed to think is a masterwork if I'm to have any credibility on this board...
Oh, and uh - the poster's pretty great - no floating heads, just one grounded one. The anime jaw isn't necessary but then again the Mummy franchise pretty much invented the idea of taking it to 'live' action. The only thing that's ever been scary about it though is the fact that Sommers ever thought it was remotely scary.
-
Captain Havlock's noble WW1 fighter pilot in the Mummy original. Such a noble death and apt on-site burial. Props to Havlock. C'mon - props? Phhhhwiip.

mummy 3: think of how much gas our budget could have bought.

Jet Li is a class act and he never said he was retiring from all films but rather a certain genre. Calling a man of Li's skill a douche is fucking weak, especially given how utterly pathetic you sound everytime you post on these boards. I'd go into detail about what a completely worthless person you are but from the sound of it god has already wiped his ass with your life a few times so we'll just sit back and let karma do it's thing.
-
prize. I've been saying this for fucking ages that horror is on its arse, and will remain there until the cretinous likes of Roth finally resume their true calling as pizza delivery men. Unfortunately this will not happen while the moronic hordes keep thinking that being grossed out is the same as being frightened. Last film I remember being unsettled by: A tale of 2 sisters.
-
when did the mummy movies become "Horror"......they were billed as ACTION ADVENTURE films....not Horror movies.....
-
Can it? This looks like a first draft concept. Not so good.
-
Was fucking horrible. Rob Cohen must have modeled that Rock/Scorpion with his mad CGI skillz on a Mac 2e (color version). Oh, and that tattoo subplot must have been one of the worst conceptual decisions ever made for a sequel. You can't retcon a goddamn supertat onto the hero's forearm if you've already established him as basically a regular American schmoe. And I hate how they retconned the cute chick into some sort of Egyptian goddess. You'd think some of that shit might have started clicking when the bald Mummy guy was about to ass-rape her to get his main squeeze back. Also, Ox-On-The-Moon seemed to age in dog years between the first and second one. I've never seen a woman devolve from hotness so fast, unless you count Roseann Barr -- could there have been a hotter beyotch on the Tube than those first few seasons of Roseann? Didn't think so.
-
The first thing I thought was that the monster on the poster looked like one of Ben Templesmith's 30 Days of Night Vampires, with the askew mouth.

Will Jet play the Bud Abbott role?
