I won't spoil it for you by telling you all about the movie, but it's quite entertaining. I saw it in Bangkok at the Paragon in Siam Square and must say it's a pretty good fiction. It doesn't have the Egyptian theme like all other mummy movies have, but it's worth seeing in my opinion.

I've never walked out of a movie theatre before due to the utter crapness of a film, but I very nearly did with this one. Good lord what tripe.

Yep, I'm bored out of my skull after having spent significant time in Asia. I just want to tour around and go home for the movies. Anything would entertain me if it's not this crap short sized food and this I don't know what your saying stuff getting old. I do look forward to moving back home and I hope Hollywood gets back to work on the movies. Maybe next time. Don't expect much out of most new movies as you might already know as they're just gunning for money. Really, I enjoyed Mummy, but I wouldn't say it was the best of the series.

I saw it in the same theatre. Loved the motorized reclining chairs.

In my opinion, it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot is pure garbage, although it did have some good CGI.

I wanted to throw tomatoes. The chemistry between the actors was akward and stilted.

I felt like I was being bukaked with stupid.

The best part of the movie was when it was over.

Meh wasn't so bad. But I went in with low expectations. The new chick wasn't very good and her fake British accent was irritating. I have a soft spot for the mummy series. The first one came out the weekend before Attack of the Clones. The anticipation in the geek community was in over drive. We just had to get through one more weekend and finally after like 15 years or something we were about to get a whole new star wars movie. And helping us get through was the first Mummy movie. It was a fun little flick and who knew it would actually turn out to be a better movie going experience than Attack of the Clones.

Yes it's entertaining, much more so than the new Batman one. Oh the Joker actor died so everyone should say his ast movie was great...I forgot.

Yeah, I didn't think The Dark Knight was anything really special.

But I'm not so sure about watching the new Mummy. I thought the second one was kind of cheesy because they had the same bugs that devoured people in it as the first one.

The Mummy 3 was appalling! I loved the original, skipped the second & only saw this one cos it was all they had at that time at the cinema.
It had about 3 good scenes & the rest was pap. But Mr Fraser is still a honey so it wasn't all bad.

2 must have been really bad then. I went and saw 3 with low expectations and was still disappointed.

Well, I was looking around the theatre for something interesting to look at. The walls were textured and the paint was already dry. I wasn't tired, but yeah I should have slept.
