The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [DVD]

Where was I when this movie came out??? Happened to view it overseas and had to show it to my husband!

I am a senior instructor in a Kung Fu school and a black belt in Ju Jit Su. So, I know that Jet Li's movements are authentic and realistic, even though we do not see enough Jet Li in this movie. I also enjoy movies by Jack Lee, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme but, I like Jet Li movies best. In fact, I like Jet Li so much that I would give a movie in which he stars an automatic 5 star. For patrons who are not familiar with Wu Shu (Chinese Kung Fu), I would suggest you buy and watch "Dragons of the Orient". Aside from Jet Li, this is a fantastic movie in terms of action sequences, story line and choice of sceneries. In my judgement, all the actors and actresses performed their roles very well. But, I must admit that I am enchanted by the mother. She displays such beautiful British mannerisms that I cannot help but to fall in love with her. I do not want to spoil the story for the patrons, but, in a nutshell, a dragon emperor and his army were cursed by a witch never to be lifted again lest they will enslave the world. But, the archaeologists mistakenly brought the Shang Ri La's eye to China and awakened the dragon emperor. Then came a race against time to stop the emperor before he could reach the magic pool and raise his army, and then to bring them across a boundary to make them invisible. Incidentally, Michelle Yeoh looks great as the witch. All action movie aficionados will be endowed with a great pleasure by this movie.

Good actors chosen. This movie was like the other in this series, good action with some humor.

Really like The Mummy movieshave seen twice

This is a magnificent movie. The visuals are phenominal and the special features are as good as it gets. Quite frankly, even though it was great to be able to buy this movie so cheaply, it is amazing that it is thus. Being on top of all the movies of the last ten years and having seen the first to the last of the festival of special effects all the way up to Avatar and Alice in Wonderland and some of the last pathetic attempts - The Hurt Locker - this Mummy movie has far more going for it and is far better than most of the films that are "state of the art." Perhaps it takes watching the movies on the spectacular Panasonic 65" 3-D HDTV or being quite a bit less jaded than the average movie-viewer - and perhaps old enough to really appreciate the momumental achievements of 1080P. This movie has just as good a plot as any of the newer movies and is far more enjoyable and far less depressing than most of the "reality" stuff of the "flatulence" oriented comiedies that are poluting the screens and reducing normal body functions to the major structure of a comtemporary movie. 10 stars for this one!

The Mummy became my "go-to" movie after the first time I saw it. I loved the campy horror-comedy aspect of it and the script was face paced and well written. I don't have a tv subscription, so I turn on a movie when I'm doing housework or to play in the background while I'm cooking or knitting, or whatever. I've turned on the first two movies so many times I've lost count. I watched this movie one time and one time only.In the second movie, we're introduced to Alex, who is an adorable ten year old with the cutest British accent and the expected mischievous streak. In this movie, he's a grown man with an American accent and a lot of resentment towards his parents. Rick and Evie have an argument over who caused the rift; "You were cold and ignored him" "you smothered him", etc. Totally unnecessary plot line in my opinion.John Hannah was perfect as Jonathan and had the funniest lines in the first two movies, but he's more of an after thought this time around. He wasn't the only underused actor, and with this much star power the script should have been so much better.I give it three stars because I thought the acting was good even though the script sucked (seriously - Yeti??) and I couldn't agree with the two star "I didn't like it" rating. I found it to be an average movie with above-average potential and expected so much more from this franchise. Watch the first two, but skip this one.

I have always loved this movie, I really enjoy it , and I'll probably never stop enjoying it. I don't see why everyone hates it so much. The acting is awesome (despite the loss of Rachel Weisz), it has bravura set pieces, quotable dialog, great special effects, cool stunts, lots of clever humor and jokes and an amazing film score by Randy Edelman . Almost a perfect movie in every sense. It's a non-stop action packed adventure, and that is my favorite kind of movie. I enjoy the other films in the Mummy trilogy, but for some reason, this one has always been my favorite, regardless to what people say about it. My favorite scenes from the movie are the battle at the end, and the battle in the Himalayas. There both really cool, and have some really cool uses of special effects. I also loved when the emperor transformed in to various beasts / monsters (3 headed dragon, giant horned creature, etc.). Some of my favorite lines from the film were: "Welcome to the twentieth century!" and "Enough tricks! where's your honor? fight like a man!" I've watched this movie countless times growing up and it never fails to enthrall and entertain me.10/10

Great movie

Action galore 👏 This movie 🎥 is one giant roller coaster 🎢 - It’s now a family affair with fighting mummies. Jet Li is awesome as the Dragon Emperor. The Snow Yetis☃️ were great. John Hannah just keeps you laughing 😆 so🫵get your popcorn 🍿 ready and settle down for a great night 👍👍🤗

The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Region B, Blu Ray version. Bought for the Mrs, who had recently seen most of it on late night television. Excellent remastering, as Image upscales very well on our 4K upscaler blu ray player, with beefy sound on our 2018 model Sony 43" WF66. Condition as described, via our regular supplier in Germany, Momox UK, with German post. A genuine bargain sub £4 deal (outside the European Union/Schengen, check import fee(s) to UK, as the customs minimum fee per item may apply. We found it better 2nd time round, with fine cinematography, convincing CGI - unlike the Scorpion king in the second installment; more interesting, and better pace with replacement director Rob Cohen; and Maria Bello as Evelyn. A financial success, taking around $445 million in cinema takings & DVD, Blu Ray sales. Recommended.

Great

Good plot , great action , worthy watching !

I'm not fond of Jet Li playing a baddie, but he does play it well. This is excellent, good special effects. It is funny, Liam Cunningham and John Hannah are both entertaining and endearing at the same time, it's a decent attempt and not a bad movie, if Rachel Weisz was in it, then it would have been great.
