For the love of all things good and worth watching…please….I beg of you, listen to me and know- this is not one of them. This is not an attempt to lower your expectations, this is an attempt to save you 2 hours of your life and $10 per head. Single words I can use to describe it:
1. Painful
2. Stupefying
3. Shock (at how bad it is)
4. Regret
5. Agony
6. Surf Internet with Phone (ok I know thats not one word)
7. Sleep
8. Awkward
9. Torture
10. Humor (and the kind that wasnt intended, the kind that comes from something being so awful).
I am truly in awe of how far Rob Cohen as fallen, he is so talented. It hurt to watch Brenden Fraiser squeak out such awful dialog (and he had the best lines that I saw). The actors playing his son and wife (yes, Evie is played by another woman, not Rachel Weiz) are truly horrible.
In one last ditch effort to save you this pain, just remember, I watched all of Indiana Jones- My friend Blair and I walked out about halfway through on Mummy 3 (I was ready to go at 20 minutes). Now I know many of you are not going to listen to me and go and see the movie anyway, just remember I tried to warn you.
Thank you for the advance word on this! I was tempted, just because the earlier ones were kind of fun. Saved us all some bucks!
Oh, and while I’m thinking of it, don’t forget some photography tips and tricks-related posts from time to time, too! Ark.
These reviews are good but bad because I have lost my zeal to go to the movie theaters!!!!
I would much rather you feel bummed reading this, than going to the theater and feeling like you have just been robbed. 😉
Skip this and go see Dark Knight again thats my vote.
Thanks for the warning. It’s not unusual for Part III to fizzle. I’ll wait for the DVD. If you have’nt seen Wall.E; please go see to make up for this disaster.
Is it just me or did they just re-create the the robot "Johnny 5" from the movie Short Circuit?
I read your review and then I read Roger Ebert’s review. I had plans to see it, so I told my friend what both of the reviews were. We went with Roger’s review and we liked the movie just as he did. Yes, Rachel was not very good, but the Yeti were fun. I agreed with your review of the X-Files. I thought it was right on. I just like looking at Brenden Fraiser. Maybe that is what kept me there 🙂
I trust you Michael…thanks for the heads up!
