Mummy moving into East

I just watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor yesterday.. this time there is no more mummy but clay terra cotta.. The emperor and his soldiers are all cursed and became terra cotta.. the story must have been adapted from the story of Qin Shi Huang.. haha.. the dragon emperor is modelled according to the Emperor Qin except that he is much more powerful as he can control all elements, fire, water, wind, fire..

Seems like Hollywood has run out of ideas and has moved their sight to the east to get ideas for their movie plots.. more and more movies about the east and jet li has more movies to shoot.. thankz to this and even hollywood actors need to know how to speak Mandarin other than just the chinese actors speak english.. Michelle yeoh is Chinese but the mandarin that she speaks is just as bad as the ang moh speaks mandarin.. haha..

Anyway in this movie.. Brendan's son has grown up and is also an adventure-seeker like his dad and mum but Luke Ford does not seem like Brendan's son at all.. they are like brothers.. Brendan doesn't look so old to have a son like him.. so it is funny to see them act as father and son..

I used to like mummy a lot.. the first and second movies.. but I really have no strong impression from this movie.. maybe it is more catered for family and kids.. I have grown up and will not enjoy as much watching this kind of movies already..
