Advantages: Family fun

Review of The Mummy - Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (DVD)

Journey at a new dimension

Advantages: 3D effects, screenplay
Disadvantages: not a strong storyline, similar to Indy jones

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Personal Opinion = Very good in 3D part. My view I like 3D movies, obviously like all of you out there. It's very rare to see such kind of movies. Also i read this novel and the novel was just superb which eventually made me to watch this movie. But I only watched this movie here in my place without the 3D effect. :-( in theatres. I was sad as i wanted to see this movie in 3D in theatre. But later i ...
...version too. When i saw for first time i saw this movie in theatres, it was really a good movie to enjoy. Though it had some major flaws and raises doubts in the minds of the audience this movie was very much enjoyable and was a good time-passer too. Even without the 3D effects this movie was good as one can visualize the effects very well. You can get what i'm trying to say. Even when watching this movie without the 3D, one can ...

Review of Journey To The Centre Of The Earth 3D (Blu-ray)

The final installment of the famous Mummy Trilogy.

Advantages: Good story and acting performances, gorgeous picture quality, plethora of special features
Disadvantages: None

I'm going to admit from the off that I despised the first two Mummy films. I can't put my finger on why; possibly the setting, storyline or poor acting? Whatever the reason, the films bored me to tears and were a sure way to send me to sleep. With this being said, it won't come as a surprise to you when I state I wasn't looking forward to the third and final instalment in The Mummy series. So did I fall asleep during yet another Mummy movie or did ...
...changes have been made since the last instalment of the series, with the director Rob Cohen coming in to replace Stephen Sommers being the most obvious. The film is set in China, a country that Cohen happens to have a keen interest in fro recent studies of the country's history and therefore this helped add passion and little touches to the movie. Brendan Fraser returns as the no-nonsense Mummy hunter, but has apparently changed wives due to the ...

Review of The Mummy - Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (Blu-ray)

You will remained glued to the television

Advantages: Everything, the music, the scenert
Disadvantages: nothing

...what you are looking for: The Mummy. It is an old film I admit but the actors and plot are always evergreen. Beware this contains spoilers. This film has been produced by Sean Daniel and James Jacks, directed by Stephen Sommers, Starring the ever gorgeous Brendan Fraser and the delicate Rachel Weisz and many more. The Mummy is the first amongst the trilogy, followed afterwards by "The Mummy Returns" and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'', Having ...
...the conclusion that I adore the two first Mummies. Brendan Fraser is sublime as an actor and even more sexier than when he was roaming around only in a buttflap in "George of the Jungle". He gives an aura of masculinity to the film and he makes me sigh with longing, His partner on screen, the beautiful Rachel Weisz, looks so innocent and perfect in the role of damsel-in-distress. Her charisma and charm make people enthralled by her acting. The plot ...

Review of The Mummy (DVD)

Another wasted remake

Advantages: None. Birem is Ok I suppose
Disadvantages: Bad script, effects, score, acting... eveything.

...comes as little surprise that Journey To The Centre Of The Earth has had yet another remake. Unfortunately, as is usually the case it adds little to the original and takes alot away. Cue corny one liners, cue irritating bolshy kid, cue overblown special effects to try to mask the fact that the actors can't act. This film is not very good. Where the original was charming and entertaining, had a great star in James Mason and a brilliant score by Bernard ...
...the lead is wooden and bland and the musical score is a bore so generic for the genre you can almost sing the next orchestral burst before it's upon you. What are the positives? Special effects? Not really I'm afraid. Because the film is caught between making a sci-fi film and a 3D gimmick the effects look fairly bad throughout. It comes across like TV CGI where you would expect more from a Hollywood budget. Anything else? Anita Briem is OK as the ...
