"a slipshod spectacle"

D-
"It's a deafening, blinding department store Blu-ray demo reel that's spun wildly out of control...
Tomb
takes the franchise to a stunning new low."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
Brian Orndorf
2/10
"Amid all the poorly edited, atrociously written tumult, the silly CGI and the tragic misuse of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, Rick remains an appealing throwback hero."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"There is no excuse for an action feature to not hold a single thrilling moment. That's not just bad luck, that's bad filmmaking."

"It's like Cohen and Co. once heard someone describe an Indiana Jones rip-off and they just copied down whatever they could remember, and then added some yeti."

2/4
"If this were [Maria] Bello's first film, I guarantee this would have been the last we'd seen of her..."
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
D
"A loud, silly bit of non-stop action that again comes off like a poor cousin of the 'Indiana Jones' flicks."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"A deafening, blinding department store Blu-ray demo reel that's spun wildly out of control!"

"The best part about the third Mummy movie is the Ninja Football Yetis that Brendan Frasier and pals encounter in the mountains of Tibet."
Film School Rejects
Kevin Carr
B-
"Director Rob Cohen breathlessly paces his film with non stop action and the whole thing turns out to be some seriously cheesy B movie fun."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"[E]ven with bar set low and my unconditional love set high, I cannot freakin' believe how cruelly
Tomb
rips out my geeky little heart and stomps on it..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
1.5/4
"This is the worst kind of sequel - the kind of that reeks of having been made purely for the paycheck. It's time to seal this
Mummy
back up into its crypt and keep it there."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B
"It doesn't take itself too seriously but it takes the action scenes seriously and there are some great ones."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
1/4
"Makes the first two
Mummy
films seem like
The Godfather I
and
II
."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
2/5
"O tipo de filme concebido com uma calculadora em mãos."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
1/5
"You get the sense that it has been written both by and for ADD-afflicted children who have seen way too many movies and who are determined to simply repeat their favorite parts from them, regardless of whether or not they make any sense."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
1.5/5
"None of the action sequences generate any excitement at all and the in-between stuff is so wilfully nutty that it falls completely flat."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
2/5
"Frantic but dull, even dreary."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
C-
"I know that dragging old franchises out of mothballs is all the rage these days, but quality control still counts for something."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
1.5/5
"I kept waiting for Silver Surfer, Neo, and Snoopy on his damn doghouse to come flying by and yell "Hey Rick! That's a lot of mummies! Mind if WE drop in?""
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
"
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
is more of the same -- and yet less."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
"Although the formula remains much the same tanna leave concoction as before, there are a indeed few new wrinkles on the dessicated old corpse, just enough to make this pleasant popcorn movie for viewers seeking action and adventure."
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
4/10
"Didn't anyone realize that 39 year-old Brendan Fraser couldn't play the father of 27 year-old Luke Ford? With this noisy, frenetic, futile installment, it's time to wrap the 'Mummy' franchise."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
3/10
"Competes only with
Prince Caspian
for having the most inert action sequences of the summer."
Antagony & Ecstasy
