One day your girlfriend or wife suddenly has a whim and wants to play role-playing with you. Suppose you are an office worker, what is the last role you want to play? Yes, office worker! There is only one special case: you play the clerk yourself, and let your wife play the supervisor or boss, and usually the guys who play this role are some hard-working people who are tortured by the boss every day.
What does this have to do with Mummy 3? very relevant. Many friends around after watching "Mummy 3" lamented that this episode was not as good as the first and second two, but it is estimated that most Egyptians would not think so. The Egyptians' familiarity with the pyramids is roughly equivalent to our familiarity with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. It is naturally difficult to bring up the curiosity and exploration interest in the cultural elements that they have faced dozens of times since elementary school history education... ..."Mummy 3" is a blockbuster movie that is definitely worth the price of the ticket for foreigners who don't know Chinese culture or know little about Chinese culture, but for Chinese audiences, it feels like the ghost of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" In the "MUMMY" series, there seems to be a little bit of something wrong.
The biggest mistake is the replacement of the heroine. In general male and female rivalry movies, as long as one of them is replaced in the sequel, it must be the work of a dog-tailed sequel. Think of the super-classic "Speed ​​of Life and Death" and the appalling sequel, the equally classic "NANA" and the unwilling to mention "NANA 2". Changing roles is a taboo, so the writers of "Prison Break" have the ability to cut off SARA's head in the third season, and let her live again in the fourth season. I won't comment on the acting and image of the heroine in "Mummy 3" (although I also think her acting and image are not very good...) but the first two films are the first, and everyone has agreed that Rick's wife should be It's like that, this kind of change makes the audience look like after watching Liu Xiaoqing's Wu Zetian, and then go to Song Dandan to play the same role again, can't accept it, can't accept it.
Many online commentators gritted their teeth on the three-headed dragon shape of Emperor Jet Li: How did Qin Shihuang, the founding emperor of China's Great Qin Kingdom, become the three-headed body of a Western hell watchdog? In fact, what's more true... Aren't most people watching this movie just to relax with their mates and chewing popcorn? It's over as if it were a fairy tale. The film itself only said that Jet Li played QUI WANG, not Emperor Qin
. In terms of background, textual research, props, lines, etc., "Mummy 3" has indeed done enough homework. The Qin Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors can almost feel real, and the mechanism in the ancient tomb is a classic design of the ancient Chinese machine crossbow burst. It's weird, Chinese people make costume dramas by themselves, and they are not as real as foreigners. Zhao Yun also wears a Japanese helmet in "Seeing the Dragon Armor", and the lines in "Red Cliff" are all postmodern and confused... Again Sigh, although such a sigh is very weak.
The plot at the end of the film reveals the wolf's ambition of the film: there is a fourth sequel, and the plot has been revealed, and I went to Peru to find MUMMY. After watching this film, I have to follow the old beauty to change the concept: as long as it is an ancient corpse, it is called MUMMY, not just an Egyptian mummy. According to this method, it is estimated that the funeral customs of Persia, Mesopotamia, and Africa in the next few books will have to be studied again. Of course, in that case, it should be more interesting to me than Qin Ling in "MUMMY 3". After all, different foreign cultures are also the big selling points of adventure films. Just like when a couple flirts, translucent silk scarves are far more attractive than full nudity. Attractive.

    Lin: Of course not. You don't like a woman who can knock you on your backside.

    Alex O'Connell: [chuckles] The expression "kick my ass." For the record, you didn't.

  • Jonathan Carnahan: [talking to the yak] Yeah, it's not easy being me, you know. Then again, I don't suppose its easy being you, is it, Geraldine, old girl? If I'd met a girl like you, Geraldine, you know, hard-working, you don't say much... you're a little bit hairy, but I don't mind that.
