Just finished watching The Mummy on tv and remembered how much I enjoyed it and went to IMDB to read the trivia on it and was shocked to see that there was a 3rd one made in 08 with Jet Li? The synopsis makes it seem like it has nothing to do with the original, returns, or even the spin off Scorpion King
Like they just took the original characters and tried to push the series into an Indiana Jones random direction...For those that have seen this one was it any good?

Not really
That series should have ended with the first one.

I saw the third one in theater. Sasquatches play football. Brendan Fraser's kid from the second one has aged a bunch, but Brendan looks the same age he always does. I joked if they make a 4th one, the kid would be played by someone older than Fraser.
Oh, and I didn't like the movie. Like, at all.

I like it for how it doesn't bother with having mummies or has a very broad definition of a mummy. It has action scenes in Hong Kong, Himalayas and the Great Wall and barely holds it together but I enjoy that.

It seemed to me they were desperate for a sequel with lots of action, and couldn't be bothered with Incan mummies since they aren't "cool". For some reason that bothered me. A quick text at the end says that mummies were discovered in Peru, as a way of sort of giving us the finger. |

Man that was a summer of Brendan's Fraisers attempted comeback. It's weird on how Journey to the Center of Earth was the first real 3D film. By real I mean the company that makes the glasses not good 3D even though I haven't seen the film

Well I do think the filmmakers made the right choice of moving the setting from Egypt to someone else as the series needed to move on.
However that the being said the filmmakers made the bad choice of making a shitty movie that has most likely killed off the series and is now in need of a reboot.

With the way it was made and no Rachel weize, it felt less a part of the series than scorpion king did.

I haven't seen it.
But the second movie would have been a lot better if they hadn't killed off the best 3 characters in the first movie. Beni, Winston and the jailer were gold!

Eve was a different and terrible actress, the kid was way to old compared to Rick. They try to write themselves around that {Spoiler}{Spoiler}With Rick actually becoming immortal in this film so that they could make a fourth one set years later and Rick would not have aged. The maji aren't in it. Too much cgi and stupid stuff like yeti fighting dragon warriors. I love the first two movies, but the third was a dud and Fraizer's career never recovered. Now we are getting another reboot, at least it is in development so that franchise is officially dead. if it wasn't already. |

There was not a 3rd MUMMY movie.
That is a lie. Photoshopped delusions. The internet does that a bit here and there.
This movie you have mentioned, and that others have made up things about here as if it exists, DOES NOT EXIST.

Just wait for the darker and edgier reboot! Not joking, they're doing that.

It was an awful movie. If Rachel Weisz wasn't going to be in it, then there was no need to even have her character in the film at all.

The novelization isn't that stellar. Movie is cheap popcorn fun.

the REBOOT is from the ORIGINAL, and not the recent movies .....
the mummy
the mummy 2 : die mummy
the mummy 3 : jet li versus dignity
the scorpion king
the scorpion king 2 : sorry but the rock isn't in this one

The series was already in an Indiana Jones direction from the very first film. I have seen the third film but it's just forgettable, The Mummy Returns however is a rancid pile of shite.

It was comedy gold with my friends and I.
Hey, do you ever think the emperor's troops might wonder if they're on the wrong side?
Troop 1: You know, you think maybe we're on the wrong side with this whole undead army?
Troop 2: To be fair, the opposing army is undead mummies too.
Troop 1: Fair enough, but, what about our banners?
Troop 2: Tattered black.
Troop 1: Eh, that's ok, but what of our leader?
Troop 2: Shapeshifting necromancer that is in the form of dragon, and he's clutching a maiden in his talons.
Troop 1: Ok... oh look, he's speaking, this will set things straight!
Emperor: WE WILL CRUSH THE FORCES OF GOOD AND END DEMOCRACY FOREVER!
Troop 1: f***.
