Western films about Chinese history disgust me. They are fake and contrived. Maybe they really don't understand what the outside world is like. Box office for China or America? Looking at this film, it can only be summed up in two words "frivolous".
Invite some people who can't speak Mandarin well but want to speak Mandarin to act. Is this the so-called original pronunciation? You can just speak Cantonese and type subtitles. I think it is the best. After all, there are many dialects in China.
Regarding China's historical war films, our own great directors are also in a mess, and the Western experience of China may still be learned from those self-righteous great directors in China. (Such as plagiarizing the rain of arrows from "Heroes"). I still like to watch the West's own history and mythology, because we don't understand it and need to learn, so I watch it vigorously.
There are still too many frivolous places in this film, such as time and place, time and space, monsters moving around, which national totem is the three-headed dragon? I think it is still evolved from the three-headed dog in the West. There is no dragon with wings in China.
Like "Chibi", this film is also a funny film, but the Mummy series has always been funny. "Chibi" is under the banner of remaking history, and it can only be said to be funny.
When watching this film, I quoted a certain subtitle, and the subtitle group was also making fun of this film later. Speaking of General Li's poor Chinese, how similar the array of arrows is, and the unfortunate child mummified in Peru...
I hope this is the end of my nauseating dream of the "Mummy" movie series. I don't want to do the stupid thing of watching 1, then 2, and then 3. Quoting a line from this film, "Breaking him is like breaking a vase in the Ming Dynasty," and I added, "Destroy him, it's like destroying the Yuanmingyuan."
