When I watched "Kung Fu Panda" last time, I saw the introduction of this film, which will be released on 8/1. It happened to be the weekend, so I went to the cinema with my wife to see this film, which once again incorporates Chinese elements into Western culture. Of course, part of the reason is the extension of the original "The Mummy" in 1999.

The structure of the film's story is similar to the first one. It was also in archaeology that the cursed King Mummy was awakened unintentionally, and then there was an epic battle with a group of Mummy. It's just that this time King Mummy is King Qin who is looking for longevity. Played by Jet Li. The king of Qin was cursed by the witch for dismembering the lover of the witch (Michelle Yeoh) who was looking for the longevity technique (played by Michelle Yeoh), and was cursed by the witch, so the king of Qin and his subordinates became the Terracotta Warriors. In the final battle between Mummy, in addition to the large-scale Terracotta Warriors, another group of Mummy who died wrongly at the foot of the Great Wall under the tyranny of King Qin also joined. The film continues the funny style of Mummy.

Another similarity is that a Mummy king always has a lackey accomplice living in this day and age. The background of the story of the present era is set in 1946 during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The lackey accomplice of King Mummy is the Hong Kong movie star Huang Qiusheng who plays an officer of the Kuomintang. However, the accomplice played by Huang Qiusheng does not make people feel hateful, but the death of his female subordinate (Meng Guangmei) in the end is a bit embarrassing.

There are many protagonists in this film, of course, Brendan Fraser, the male protagonist who has been starring in "The Mummy" 1 and 2, but this time he has a son, which makes people think that Harrison Ford's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is also in the third episode. had a father. Personally, I think the highlight of the film is seeing a lot of Chinese movie stars. In addition to Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, who are often in and out of American movies, and several Hong Kong movie stars mentioned above, Liang Tian's shadow is actually seen. The other two yellow-faced actors worth mentioning are Isabella Leong, who plays the daughter of a witch. To be honest, I don’t know much about her, so I thought it was Huang Shengyi at first, but I secretly praised Huang Shengyi’s spoken English. It's really good, but later I found out that Huang Shengyi should not be so beautiful. The other is Russell Wong, who played the role of the witch lover who was divided by five horses and finally led the Mummy of the Great Wall. He may not be familiar with Wang Shengde, but his younger brother Michael (Wang Minde) believes that everyone is familiar with it.

The storyline of this film is simple and the level of suffocation is average. The rating on IMDB is only 6.7 (the same as the first one), but I personally feel that the special effects of the scenes are still very good. Impressed. In addition to a group of hilarious Mummy, the newly added 3 behemoth Snow Man also has some funny talents. There is a tidbit about Brendan Fraser who played Mummy 1, 2, 3. When he told his son to let him handle Mummy because he is more experienced, the son sneered, oh, right? Don't you just kill one Mummy (because 1 and 2 are the same Mummy)? The father was so embarrassed by his son that he had to stretch out two fingers at the camera, get rid of it, and kill him twice!

Well, let's go to the cinema and experience it yourself. The only thing the wife is upset about is, why are all the Chinese people dying?
