I just watched The Mummy III with my friends in Bukit Raja, Klang, despite I am going to sit for my IELTS examination on next Monday. Thanks God it is a fantastic movie that I did not wasted my two hours for my revision.
At first, I thought this Mummy is going to be a sucking movie, as Hollywood's movies always give me this kind of impression. You should know that Hollywood's movies always packed with action and romance, but they are almost empty inside, I mean the plots are usually meaningless. When I saw the poster, in my mind: "You bloody director! Don't you know Terra Cotta are not mummies?!" Yet, after I watched it, I can say that the script writer is a very capable storyteller.
According to history, Qin Shi Huang (Jet Li in the Mummy III) was an emperor that conquered and united China at once. In order to prolong his domination, he tried hard to find the way to be immortal. The Mummy's story starts here. Qin Shi Huang succeeded to be immortal, but cursed to be Terra Cotta by Zi Yuan (Michelle Yeoh). Now I want to laugh, as I have two Terra Cotta statues in my living room... When will the statues appear to be mummies ha? At the end of the movie, all the Terra Cottas turned to nothing, just sand and earth. Oh my God! All the statues gone! Ha3!
At least the Mummy III does not have the joke in Forbidden Kingdom. What the hell will be if Qin Shi Huang speaks English with his army ha? However, Michelle Yeoh can speak English! Oh man, a 2000 year-old lady can speak English, whereas she is the guardian of Dragon's Tomb! Besides, she recites the script of resurrection in Sanskrit at the beginning of movie, but at last she recites it in English. Can the dead bodies understand? I think so, because all become alive and fighting for revenge.
No matter what, it is still a fantastic movie. The plot looks nice, as a historical event can become totally a fiction. Nice manipulation!
