The Mummy: Tomb of the Emperor Dragon (and only one hot Asian chick)

It’s time once again for Moog’s Movie Reviews!!

Where I take my 5 and 7 year old kids to PG-13 movies and have to explain stuff like:

Actor: "I'm gonna KICK. YOUR. ASS!!!"

Daughter: "Daddy? What's an ass?"

Awesome.

And the answer is:

Me.

I'm an ass.

Today, I'm reviewing:

"The Mummy: Tomb of the Emperor Dragon"


Let's see:

I've reviewed two Brendan Frasier movies in two weeks (here's the first one).

And, recently, Paris Hilton put together a lucid point on environmental policy.

Um.

RUN PEOPLE.

Apparently, The Apocalypse is upon us.


I heard awful, horrible things about this movie from Rottentomatoes.com before I went to see it.

It said stuff like:

"Too many special effects."

"Too much slapstick humor."

"Maria Bello somehow manages to have smaller breasts than Rachael Ray. How is that f*cking possible? It's like she's a friggin' boy. Where's Rachel Weisz?!? Is she home, right now, planning new ways to stalk me?"

One of the above may not have been on Rottentomatoes.com.


My thinking was:

"Slapstick humor + special effects = fun for kids."

And I was right.

Mark your calendar. That doesn't happen often.

The kids really liked it.

I thought it wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews made it out to be.

Popcorn fun movie, and better if you've got kids.

Kids that know what "ass" is, anyway. As the above conversation regarding "ass" actually took place during this movie with my daughter.

Remind me to never do PG-13 with them again.

Overall, my score:

2 Mooge Splats (out of a possible four)


Now...

I'm heading off to my bomb shelter with the family.

This Frasier/Hilton thing has seriously got me spooked.

Moog out.
