I've liked the other Mummy movies. Really did not like this one. If the DD's hadn't been watching Mama Mia next door - dh and I would have walked out.... Special effects -great. New actress -lousy, believing they had a son that old - not, Story line - was there one? Brendan not being funny or slapstick - bad....

It was pretty awful. And I loved the first one! The first half hour/40 mins is hard to sit through, after that it's probably "ok."

My main problem was that the actress who took over Evie's role seemed to make no effort to copy the personality or mannerisms or anything of Rachel Weisz's Evie. So instead of a humourous, quirky, likeable character you get someone lifeless and dull. In the action scenes it wasn't so bad because a lot was going on, but in that first half hour, well, not good.

I found that she really tried to hard to be a carbon copy of Rachel Weisz(with a little bit of Julie Andrews thrown in for good measure).
My sister felt that Brendan Frazer phoned in his performance.

The only good thing in the movie was the fact that Jet Lee and Michelle Yeoh were in it.
They should have scrapped the Mummy theme and made an entirely different movie.

I haven't seen any of the movies, but was the actress Maria Bello? I think I remember her and Fraser doing promos together for the movie. I like her. I remember first taking note of her some years ago on ER -- temporary love interest for Dr. Carter. She did a good acting job in History of Violence and other things since.

Yes, it was Mario Bello. She's a talented actress, but just not a good fit for the role.
