ANOTHER ONE?! by McDee	May 16th, 2008 09:53:29 AM
SIGH
A yeti, terracotta warriors, AND a three-headed dragon? by terry1978	May 16th, 2008 09:53:34 AM
Normally I'd say that was overkill, but for this series....it works. I'm interested just for that.
Ughh by Annie The Pod Racer	May 16th, 2008 09:54:38 AM
I hate being teased. Or was that tazed?

Its the end of the world as we know it. But I feeeeeel fine.
bank it by jjhernandez	May 16th, 2008 09:59:17 AM
Trailer is not very enticing. it'll make 150 million even if it sucks.
Huh? by CarmillaVonDoom	May 16th, 2008 09:59:53 AM
Rachel Weisz and Maria Bello are supposed to be playing THE SAME CHARACTER?? WTF is that all about?
Maria should be wearing a cheerleading outfit by just pillow talk	May 16th, 2008 10:01:57 AM
or better yet, Maria AND Rachel. That's your mummy movie, but with just Maria and Rachel. No mummies. No Brendan. No Jet. Just Maria and Rachel. Excuse me, I have to, er, take care of something.
Look--the bridge from Temple of Doom! by Abominable Snowcone	May 16th, 2008 10:04:49 AM
and the hail of arrows from Gladiator and 300! And the abominable snowman from Monsters Inc! And some karate guys from...karate movies! And Ghidorah, from the Godzilla movies! All this needs now is a spaceship!

Oh come on let's do Independence Day 2 by thefrood	May 16th, 2008 10:17:33 AM
Seriously. Even though it's cheesy as gorgonzola cheese cake I can watch that movie over.
I want to meet someone who liked any of the Mummy movies by slone13	May 16th, 2008 10:17:56 AM
I don't believe they exist. And if they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Don't care that these movies are bad - I like 'em! by beastie	May 16th, 2008 10:19:04 AM
We all like some bad flicks. I'm willing to admit that these are bad movies that I enjoy. I make no apologies for the film or my liking of it. I can't blame you if you don't like them. But I do.
It has to be better than THE MUMMY RETURNS!! by godoffireinhell	May 16th, 2008 10:23:29 AM
God, how I hated that film.

As someone who liked the first and hated the second by brandon25	May 16th, 2008 10:32:23 AM
...this doesn't look bad. I mean it has a Yeti, and a three-headed dragon. Come on.
This will be great, people by random dude	May 16th, 2008 10:35:04 AM
This summer's sleeper hit.
Yeah I liked Mummy 2 by Series7	May 16th, 2008 10:40:00 AM
It was a good summer flick. I don't think I've ever seen it since I saw it in theaters. The best thing about mummy 1 was when Brenden throws the chair at a guy and knocks him down. Hilarious. Rob Cohen though was been pretty terrible. I thought Dragonheart was a good film, but then I watched it again since the last time I saw it when I was a kid. And it was pretty bad. He is like a bad Renny Harlin.
I agree... the lack of Rachel Weisz saddens me... by PirateEmery	May 16th, 2008 10:40:09 AM
It doesn't feel like its from the same series when you bring in new actors for old characters.
Fraser - WIG or HAIR TRANSPLANT by Dolph	May 16th, 2008 10:46:34 AM

A YETI DUDE!!! When was the last time you saw a YETI in the theater? I never have. I'm stoked for the YETI!!!
Why bother with THE MUMMY when you have INDIANA FUCKING JONES!!! by Mr_Incredible	May 16th, 2008 10:52:55 AM
The MUMMY movies were and always will be second-rate imitations of the INDIANA JONES movies. But I'll probably see this, because I basically see almost everything that plays in a cinema.
One question by MoviePirate	May 16th, 2008 10:59:28 AM
so does the chinese mummy speak english too

stupid streaming video. I need quicktime HD damnit! gimmie!
That conquered absolutely nothing... by Sledge Hammer	May 16th, 2008 11:07:01 AM
Question:How do you make a Mummy sequel even worse than The Mummy Returns? Answer: You hire Rob Cohen. A man, remarkedly enough, even less talented than Stephen Sommers. In the year that marks the return of Indiana Jones, I don't need me no crappy sequel to some crappy second grade Indy knockoff wannabe.
by Frankenbastard	May 16th, 2008 11:07:04 AM
I liked the 2 Mummy movies, I thought they were brainless fun like Die Hard. Now, whoever did that crappy Snow Creature…you’re so fired! All that's missing is an elf named Hermie trying to pull his teeth out How bad does that ting look? That bumbles gotts bounce. I also wish they hadn’t done the cliché millions of arrows thing but i'll still go see this.
That bumble.... by Frankenbastard	May 16th, 2008 11:08:46 AM

Temple of Doom meets Hero by sith_rising	May 16th, 2008 11:18:44 AM
fuck the haters, this looks fun. I loved Mummy 1 and 2, didn't like Scorpion King, so I'm game for another good one.

I will personally cut of your dick and fucking use it to rape your ears you motherfucker. But before that your dick will piss boiling blood.
Looks fun to me. I'm not a false hater by The Founder	May 16th, 2008 11:23:50 AM
I'll be there. Will certainly miss Rachel, but at least they are trying to bring in a new element, even though we've seen this beofre. Should be entertaining.
that said, this does look KIND OF GOOD, despite very poor CGI by Proman1984	May 16th, 2008 11:24:10 AM
`Indy will still own this though.
I admit it. by DocPazuzu	May 16th, 2008 11:25:21 AM
I'm in. Sold!
And the hail arrows are from hero by Proman1984	May 16th, 2008 11:26:11 AM
Yeah this rips shit off but does a good job in it. I mean Cohen is actually a good director. Remember Dragon: The Bruce Lee story?
ROFL! What a "B" movie... by BLEST	May 16th, 2008 11:27:22 AM
I'll still catch it on DVD though. Admit it, when it was one flick called "The Mummy", it was a cool and cheezy homage to Indy. I don't think it's wrong for anybody to say that they enjoyed it for fun. Mummy 2 however.....
COme on by MrPopular	May 16th, 2008 11:32:10 AM
It's not that bad.. When you've created something better give me a call...
Looks better than Indy 4... by max314	May 16th, 2008 11:37:25 AM
Yes, I said it :-D I thought the original 'The Mummy' was a far more enjoyable ride than 'Raiders', and this trailer has got me more excited for this film than the 'Crystal Skull' trailers had. Plus, I think Brendan Fraser is a great on screen presence, and does that whole quirky, cocky cowboy thing better than Harrison Ford.
Looks good by Seacor	May 16th, 2008 11:41:37 AM
Looks fun. I enjoyed Mummy 1 and 2. The CGI looks fine. Trailer voice over was bad.
Mario Bello... I'm there! by EriamJH	May 16th, 2008 11:46:58 AM
Oh, wait, this is not an R-rated film? Perhaps not... (Maria, you still have it to flaunt it and you "taint" gettin' younger!)
Hm...I kind of want to see it now by drewlicious	May 16th, 2008 11:51:23 AM
Hopefully it will be entertaining like the first one and not the FX overkill that the second one was.

I mean, Sommers wasn't exactly David fucking Lean, but Cohen? Dragonheart - shit, Daylight - shit, XXX - shit, Stealth - worse than shit. Although, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Strory was pretty damn good, credit where its due and all that. I'll go and watch this, but i'll be ready to pack my nachos and leave at any moment...

Agreed. The second one was too dandy.
Meh... I'll wait for it on DVD. by That 70s Venom	May 16th, 2008 12:18:40 PM
Not worth the ticket price. My theater movies this year are Indiana Jones, The Happening, and The Dark Knight. I already saw Iron Man. :P
YEAH!!! by THE TRUE PINBACK	May 16th, 2008 12:19:20 PM
This looks like a rip-snortin' fun adventure movie. I've been waiting a loooong time for this trailer, and it doesn't disappoint. If they keep the pace of this film fast and the tone fun, then they've got another winner on their hands. DAMN, but this looks like it's gonna be a helluva summer!

max314 by just pillow talk	May 16th, 2008 12:31:43 PM
That's fine if you enjoyed the Mummy movies, but to say that the first one was better than Raiders is just plain crazy. It in no way could ever compare to the greatness of Raiders. I'm sorry, but it just cannot be. And saying that Brendan is a better on-screen presence than Harrison in Raiders??? What's wrong with you man?

Rob Cohen didn't direct REIGN OF FIRE, that would be Rob Bowman (director of ELEKTRA and X-FILES - FIGHT THE FUTURE). Rob Cohen is the genius that gave man birth to STEALTH and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS.

who really care about... by IKnowStuff	May 16th, 2008 02:02:47 PM
rachel weisz. it was never HER movie. it was never her series. she was always secondary to fraser. i honestly forgot she was in the first two, i bet you the rest of the world did too. you all keep crying about how she's gone, but that really isn't gonna affect anything. if she was in the movie and it was the SAME EXACT movie, would that change your opinion of it? who cares if someone else has taken over her exact character. it hasn't hurt the bond franchise. but people aren't crying about that one. this movie looks fun and retarded and that's all it's supposed to be. and honestly, the CG in this feels natural cause CG was always a big part of the series. as for the CG in Indy? Yeah, I don't know about that.
Oh well...... by Screwbini	May 16th, 2008 02:02:58 PM

That's a better trailer than the new JONES by palimpsest	May 16th, 2008 02:04:44 PM
Though it has to sell the movie, whereas JONES merely has to exist. I'll end up watching it, i daresay. I just hope they finish the movie before releasing it, unlike MUMMY RETURNS, which was just plain shoddy.

Great Marketing Strategy: "Mummy 3 - It's Kinda Like 'The Mummy' by LlGHTST0RMER	May 16th, 2008 03:47:51 PM
"From the Producers of the Mummy and The Mummy Returns" - if you have to point out the producers are still on board, it only proves you know this movie is removed from the other two. Universal knows this one is a Hail Mary - they're gonna throw it out there and simply hope people catch it.
Better than Indy!? by codymr	May 16th, 2008 03:48:30 PM
hmmm... can't say I agree with that at all. The best thing about the Indy series is that you have to wait to see the full power of the MacGuffin in the last reel. In the Mummy films, they blow their wad with the supernatural stuff at the end of the first act, so for the rest of the film you snooze though CGI action scene after CGI action scene until the end credits.
I actually feel kind of sorry for Universal this summer... by LlGHTST0RMER	May 16th, 2008 04:00:47 PM
I just took a look at the studio's website for their summer releases... Leatherheads (done,) Forgetting Sarah Marshall (well praised but done,) Baby Mama (DONE,) The Strangers (the who?) Mamma Mia (this year's Little Miss Yeah, Right,) The Incredible Hulk (fingers crossed,) Hellboy II (here's hoping,) and Mummy 3 (It's craaaptastic!) I'm willing to bet Indiana Jones and Dark Knight make more between the two of them than Uni's entire summer slate. I'd almost even go so far as to believe EACH of them might bank more than the whole Universal summer load. Maybe next time, Uni.
This series was always tongue in cheek by terry1978	May 16th, 2008 04:00:51 PM
The danger was real, but for the most part the characters all knew of the cliches and had a "how the fuck is this happening?" type of response to the weirdness around them, which I always liked.
Looks like fun by m_prevette	May 16th, 2008 04:02:07 PM
Better than Speed Racer at least.
Nice Marmot... by Sledge Hammer	May 16th, 2008 04:32:58 PM
No, Crystal Skull is the latest film in a greatly entertaining film series, and as such highly anticipated. This, on the other hand, is the latest film in a crappy third rate film series, that just seems to get worse and more unwatchable with each successive film. See the difference now?

Cohen undervalued Weisz big time by Drath	May 16th, 2008 04:40:41 PM
According to his interview with Sci Fi Wire, whe objected to having a grown son in the story so his answer was "Okay. Bye." Asshole. Frasier doesn't look right with a grown son either frankly, as wrong as Harrison Ford with a 13-ish daughter despite being great-grandpa age. Sure it's possible, but it sucks. Aside from that, the 3-headed dragon and Yeti look good. How drunk/stoned/retarded do you have to be to think Bello is similar type to Weisz? Yeah it matters! If you don't care about that because it's not effects-related then you really are just the hack they said you were, Cohen. At least find another British actress, I'm sure someone out there would have fit this role better.
A ROB COHEN FILM by Harry Weinstein	May 16th, 2008 04:43:25 PM
You're only supposed to start insisting on that sort of ego-forndling title card in the trailers after you come out with something that really blows my mind and makes me realize that I'd unfairly had you pegged as a generally sort of a clockpuncher of a director, a guy capable of decent work when the stars are properly aligned. Until then, I can honestly say I enjoyed DRAGON for what it was. And we'll leave it at that.
"Forndling" by Harry Weinstein	May 16th, 2008 04:44:16 PM
It's like fondling, only dirtier. It's a new word.
Hey, Gotham Knight... by BizarroJerry	May 16th, 2008 04:52:17 PM
I think you're right. I took a crap this morning that was better than Mummy 2. Hee hee. Anyway, Weisz jumping ship says it all for me.
This does not look better than SPEED RACER in any way. by Harry Weinstein	May 16th, 2008 04:55:20 PM
However, it does look like Rob Cohen in his "watchable" mode. Probably better than dropping eleven dollars down the sewer.
This ain't no Raiders by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi	May 16th, 2008 04:56:26 PM
But, then again, neither were the last two Indy movies. Let's face it - that series is alot like the Matrix - a great start and two decent but uninspiring sequels. As for the Mummy movies, the first was a guilty pleasure (for me anyway), but the second was irritating as hell, and the Scorpion King...the less said about it, the better. This one looks like it could be another guilty pleasure, or it could be a complete train wreck; hard to tell. Also, one of the things that killed the Mummy Returns and the 2nd Indy movie was the introduction of an obnoxiously "cute" kid Macaulay Culkining his way through the movie and chewing up every bit of scenery in his path (much like The Legend of Zorro and Blues Brothers 2000). New rule, Hollywood: no kids in action movie sequels. Period. As for Indy 4 "owning" anything this summer, I doubt it. Lucas hasn't owned anything for twenty-plus years, except for the rights to his old movies which he keeps fucking up. Wake up, Lucas fans, it's over.

gotham_night by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi	May 16th, 2008 05:11:43 PM
In terms of box office, you're right. But I'm talking about quality. Hell, Lucas could release an art house film about the dysfunctional childhood of Jar-Jar, and it would make millions - witness that monstrosity of a cartoon that in any sane universe would never even make it to video. But it doesn't take away from the fact that everything he's done since Raiders has been one long downhill slide in quality.

Bizarre but true... by moonlightdrive	May 16th, 2008 05:16:31 PM
[SPOILER] According to the only current online review for this movie the third act opens with a Hollywood plausible twist revealing Rachel Weisz to in fact be Brendan Fraser's characters 'mummy'. Apparently he is the love child of a brief affair Weisz's character had with Dwayne Johnson in The Mummy Returns. The news of this causes Fraser's character to spotaneously combust conveniently killing the lead villain played by Jet Li.

ROTS third best???????????? by Prossor	May 16th, 2008 06:15:58 PM

If Joe Dante has directed THE MUMMY... by thegreatwhatzit	May 16th, 2008 06:32:02 PM
it may have been tolerable. I actually admit to a subversive enjoyment of DEEP RISING (Famke Janssen was so damn hot)--dumb "monster movie" but a hoot. Sommers invests more CGI in his films than talent.
And, um... are there any Mummies in this movie? by LlGHTST0RMER	May 16th, 2008 06:44:28 PM
I guess I wasn't watching too closely... I saw a snow monster and a three-headed dragon. Don't recall seeing a mummy. Isn't that going to make this movie a bit harder to sell?
A remake of ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY? by thegreatwhatzit	May 16th, 2008 06:47:47 PM
BUD: How stupid can you get? LOU: How stupid do you want me to be? New, this dialogie is too clever for Sommers.
Exactly gotham_night. ROTK took CG Armys to the limit! by Orionsangels	May 16th, 2008 07:04:54 PM
It's still to this day the most over the top special effects sequence ever conceived on film. Especially the extended version. It's so EPIC my dick gets hard.
Sad about Weisz... by Reverend Toast	May 16th, 2008 07:30:52 PM
But at least Jonathan Hannah is in the movie. He kinda made the other two and if it was just Fraser it would have been lame.
Yeah nobody liked the Mummy movies... by Hesiod2k7	May 16th, 2008 08:55:19 PM
...that's why they made $500 million.
Looks like fun in harmless sort of way. by detinue	May 16th, 2008 09:33:40 PM
Hope it doesn't fumble itself as badly as the second Mummy film did.

MUMMY 3 - Everything I Want by Spymunk	May 16th, 2008 09:54:35 PM
MUMMY 3's trailer has all the sense of fun/action/sense of adventure that's so painfully missing from so many movie trailers this summer - the sense that the movie is promising one thing, and it's going to deliver on everything it promises. It tells you it's going to be a silly romp across the globe with brash heroes and cruel villains and it's putting the tone right there in the trailer. It looks like a blast, and unabashedly fun for anyone who can actually still enjoy just going to the movies and having a good time. I can't wait!
Mummy three by Series7	May 16th, 2008 10:30:34 PM
Looks pretty cool. Good fun. I don't think there are FANS of the movie who are going to give a shit about changes in it. The one thing I didn't like was the stolen shot from Hero with the wall of arrows....Also anyone complaing about other movies missing shit in their trailers. Whatever this summer movie season is going to be awesome which is hasn't been in a couple of years. Like I pretty much want to see every movie thats coming out. The past 3-4 years every big movie I've been like ?? Meh I'll go see it hope fully its good.

Should've cast a uber hot Asian love interest & ditched Bello by Big Dumb Ape	May 17th, 2008 12:26:58 AM
I think this looks great! I'll be there opening weekend. Hey, it's summer and I want to get my ass out of the heat, into a cool theater, and simply be able to sit there with a large popcorn and soda and hot dog and enjoy myself for 2 hours. I think this has a good cast, Frasier makes a likable hero, and overall I think the movie looks like a blast. My only complaint is that if Weisz and the original little kid weren't coming back...and they're going to say that several years have since gone by (thus explaining why the kid has been recast and is now so much older)...then why not just take it the extra step adn say Weisz died along the way on some adventurous dig? What, are there really THAT many Evee fans out there? And if they are, I'm sure they're fans BECAUSE of the way Weisz played her, so put her to rest properly. Why not just have Frasier be in mourning and then, in the course of this thing, have him hook up with some ultra hot Asian actress and fall in love. I would have bought that far more easily then recasting the role with Bello, who now will pull me out of things a bit...
Looks like a lot of fun... by The Grug	May 17th, 2008 12:27:13 AM
Shame they couldn't get Rachel Weiss back, but Mario Bello is always great, and I always dug Brendan Frasier and John Hannah's characters in the first two (even though the second movie was rubbish). This looks good, I'll see it.

SPOILERS TO THE SPOILED by lagomorph	May 17th, 2008 08:26:06 AM
The dif between Indy and Mummers is that after watching the Mummy3 trailer I feel like I've seen the whole movie already and it seriously lacks any suspense or craft. When I watched the Indy4 trailer I wanted to see more. What is this crystal skull, who is this russian woman, Why is Shia Lebeuf in it, and can an aging indy still swing it. OK, it was little flaccid, but I prefer NOT to know the twists and turns before riding the coaster.
I'm excited! by zippetydodah	May 17th, 2008 09:23:45 AM
I thought the incredible hulk trailer was incredible but when I saw the new Mummy trailer man oh man its going to be one awesome summer with these awesome movies! The Mummy has everything, action, danger..just wow! Thanks guys for letting me post here!
Yup... by RobinP	May 17th, 2008 12:42:45 PM
Looks like a big, dumb, entertaining as hell summer movie. I'm in !
liked the first one, hated the second one by RKO2285	May 17th, 2008 02:19:40 PM
the trailer for this has me mixed... Maria Bello replacing Rachel Weisz is weird, and like big dump ape... they should of just said evee died, but regardless, I will probably see this..
No dice. by Stunt_Lime	May 17th, 2008 02:51:07 PM
Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad story... No wonder Ms. Weisz didn't want to reprise her role.
Just how old is O'connel supposed to be? by alucardvsdracula	May 18th, 2008 05:34:14 AM
His irritating son looks about 30 AND lost his accent too. Makes Indy4 look like a masterpiece in comparison.
Is there an Asian themed movie that does not by skimn	May 18th, 2008 01:02:47 PM
have the "sky full of arrows comin' at cha" scene? With the three headed dragon, snow beast, and other CGI beasties, looks like Cohen is getting even for his Sinbad project falling by the wayside. Would be nice if Harryhausen would get a dedication. I know it's a backhanded compliment attached to this movie, but it would be about time.

My thought process after this trailer by David Cloverfield	May 19th, 2008 04:58:18 AM
1. Holy shit! 2. What the fuck 3. Awesome. I don't remember the Mummy movies that much, but I remember liking that goofy bastard Brendan Fraiser. It's no Indy, but then again, Indy is no Indy after the end credits of Raiders. This has a Yeti, a three headed dragon and an undead army. Indy has... aliens and Shia.
Sory to seeWeiz go but Bello's hot and a great actress by CrichtonAstronut	May 19th, 2008 04:28:59 PM
and Michelle Yeoh is brilliant. Anything she's in I'm there. The fisrt two were fun, expecially the first. At least the kid's older now. And Hannah's in it. of course Indy will be better this could still be fun.
I think it looks kinda good! by quadrupletree	May 19th, 2008 04:58:11 PM
Not like it's going to win an oscar or something, but it could be a good popcorn movie. For the record I thought the second movie sucked holy donkey balls. But the first one was fun.
never saw a yeti i the theater there was that by CrichtonAstronut	May 19th, 2008 07:09:10 PM
...no just a really hairy guy in the front aisle.
