Michelle Yeoh and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Posted by fjgirls in July 31st, 2008

Michelle Yeoh is in installment No3 of the Mummy franchise, this one is entitled The Mummy: tomb of the dragon Emperor. The first 2 were set in Egypt, this one is now set in China and still features Brendan Fraser and co stars Jet Li. If you like fast paced roller coaster eye candy films and liked the first two, it looks surprisingly promising, with what looks like a dash of martial arts thrown in, but for those looking for something with an intellligent serious plot that stretches the brain cells, best look elsewhere, this is a thrill ride film and nothing more, it will be interesting to see how this film does though! Acting wise Michelle Yeoh as the mysterious sorceress delivers the goods!

Plot:

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor stars Brendan Fraser reprising his role as explorer Rick O’Connell, along with his son Alex (Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello), and brother-in-law Jonathan (John Hannah). The two parents are now retired, but they must stop the resurrected tyrannical Han, the Dragon Emperor (Jet Li), a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse, and whose army was found by 18-year old Alex. The Emperor now wishes to rebuild his empire, and threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service with his Terracotta Army.

The O’Connel family’s hope now lies with a mysterious century old sorceress(Michelle Yeoh). Who has an old rivalary with the Emperor, for two thousand years ago the Emperor summoned her to his court, for she possesses the secrets of immortality. Instead of blessing him though, she cursed him, sending him and his army into a ‘permanent’ suspended animation.

She now is back to help the family, by raising up a smaller, undead army made of the Dragon Emperor’s enemies, who were buried under the Great Wall of China. Who have to face the much larger and powerful Terracotta Army.
