A change of writers and directors, a role swap for the leading lady and a seven year break from the last sequel never boast well for a sequel. The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor already has a lot going against it from the outset. The first and second films were some of the better popcorn thrill rides during their respective summers, and it quickly became a fan favorite. However, concern arose when director/writer Stephen Sommers expressed languid remarks about the future of the film.
The first time it was an obvious obeisance to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but here it comes off as the writers being lackadaisical with the action pieces. The same can be said for the rocky airplane crash in a snowy landscape, and the final scene involving a dagger that must be thrust into Han to kil
Ignoring the sub par story is pretty easy since no one coming in is expecting to remember it coming out. The action and quick wit comedy are the series staple, and while those elements are apparent, so is their tedium. The first big action piece is a chase involving the O’Connell’s pursuing the just resurrected Han after they have just attended a dinner party. It involves chariots, cars, and fireworks and at the climax of the chase, Emperor Han unleashes a strong display of his power and escapes. If it sounds familiar, it’s because it is almost the exact same framework for Mummy Returns opening action piece.
Even though a script had already been penned by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and a director named (Rob Cohen) the film seemed to slip into everlasting development hell regarding its cast. Brendan Fraser would reprise his role,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Maria Bello had replaced Rachel Weisz as the leading lady,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a bevy of side characters were removed. Still, The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor emerged into theatres on August 1 with at least some of its main cast on board. Fans were able to breathe a sigh of relief as they were certain to get at least one more dose of mummy action. Fans would soon find out that the seven year wait may have been too soon for the formerly great summer film series.
The story is simple, and that’s to be expected from the series, but that doesn’t mean it’s effective. One of the best parts of Mummy Returns was how the family was connected to the villains. It gave the protagonists a nice layer of emotional depth, but here, the O’Connell’s are barely connected to the plot. It dampens the story and especially the characters. In fact, judging by the O’Connell’s reactions, they seem to think that they’re sidekicks to the other characters. Fortunately, Lin and her mother Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh) bring a little bit of emotional connection, but they’re not given enough screen time to be properly fleshed out. The back story succumbs to the same fate; it’s very interesting and well done,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it isn’t given enough time to become truly special. It’s sad to say, but the story could have actually benefited from the absence of the series main characters.
The Mummy Returns, Again
The story in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is as simple as possible, and is as tenuous as the other two films. Set thirteen years after the last film, Alex O’Connell (Luke Ford) has just made one of the most momentous archaeological discoveries in history; the once lost Tomb of China’s first Emperor, Han (Jet Li). Elsewhere, parents Rick and Evelyn O’Connell (Fraser and Bello respectively) are finding their now tranquil lives to be listless. During the ceremony for Alex’s recovery, interference comes from the general of a paramilitary group in China (Chau Sang Anthony Wong) who seeks Emperor Han’s leadership by resurrecting him. Of course he is able to succeed, and it is up to the O’Connell family, and Lin (Isabella Long) the guardian of Han’s tomb,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to stop him.
