The third in the modern Mummy series starring Fraser with Weisz conspicuous in her absence That's a shame as this entry brings back some originality with the location moving to the Far East to breeze through a bundle of myths and reality include the terracotta army, Shangri-La, and the Yeti.
Weisz aside, this entry is more likeable than the second's near retread of the first. The CGI is a considerable step up from earlier entries. There's some great casting in the form of Calder, Yeoh and Li - who are all a bit underused. Some humour is retained, but not quite enough. But the motivations of those seeking to raise the main villain are never completely credible.
Verdict: Better than expected.
