Tai won gui mummies?! Ok, this is 3rd installment of this mummy-kissing-rick-o'connells-ass flick. But who is this @$#% new chick who replaced evelyn? *Sobs* uh ok...but wait, Michelle Yeow my favorite though-kinda-old-but-still-look-gorgeous-to-me starred here! Whoa! Something new? Ah yes, the little boy alex, rick and evelyn's only son is now a grown-up man and already made his testosterone yacking on a beautiful chinese babe. Whatever. The usual stuff, dusty mummies again but this time it’s Asian…Chinese mummies!
Tagline: “A New Evil Awakens”. Or could be “A New Evil from the great wall who was cursed because he can't understand sanskrit Awakens”. This emperor is really powerful, cruel, but I guess his folks invested more by sending him to military schools to be tough enough and forgot to throw a glimpse on language learning center. Ok enough on my kvetching. My favorite scene here is when Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh) pushed herself to the emperor's sword and died eventually just to grab the spear in his waist. Even before that, she sacrificed her and her daughter's immortality to those mandarin speaking gods to bring those old enemies of the emperor back to life to join the battle, and make the battle more dusty. Sweet. Too much sacrifices but how come she was tagged earlier as a witch?
This Zi Juan character I admire reflected not just love by sacrificing her life, but also a complete trust to those people she fought with, the O'Connell's and her daughter. Knowing that even without her, they can possibly defeat this verrrry bad mummy-transforming-beast emperor. I think she already read the family's resume even before making sacrifices and she was completely impressed…like a multinational CEO hiring a friendless, straight A college grad.
Can't wait for the next latin-speaking mummies!
