The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

If any of you know me well, you would know my sick obsession with Brenden Fraser.
I own just about every movie his in and enjoy every aspect of his cheesy-ness. My sister Jenny and I share the same obsession, she got me started liking him when I was about 12. She introduced me to the movie Encino Man, and it has remained on of my all time favorite; cave man Brenden Fraser is very nice to look at!
Since we own most of his movies, of course we own the Mummy movie collection, we even have The Scorpion King even though it doesn't have Brenden in it; it does however have The Rock in it, and he's another one of my must-see heart throbs.
Anyway, I was rather excited to see the newest Mummy movie come out, and couldn't wait to see it. So for a double date this last week we went and saw it in the theater with Jordan and her hubby. I think all in all I enjoyed the movie, but I do have to admit that I did have disappointments about it. First of all, I didn't like his “new” wife, they should've had the girl from the other movies, it would've made it better. Second, it was a bit cheesy; and I usually like cheesy. I expected a more intense story line, and at times it just fizzled. Unfortunately I have to be honest and tell you, it's not one of those movies that you need to see in the theater. You could wait until it comes out on video and be all the same for it. We will probably own it because I can't pass up the opportunity to own a Brenden Fraser movie, but it's only to the complete series... unless of course they make more movies, but I can't seem them doing that; any more, it would be over-kill.
