The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! So, this third entry in the "Mummy" series, like it's villain, should have stayed buried. There are so many wrong things about this movie that I don't know if I remember all of them. First of all, the whole mythology from the previous movies is gone and the location as well is changed. Other thing is that they replaced Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello but leaving the same character. Just like Nolan did with "The Dark Knight and the character of Katie Holmes. I mean you don't do that and expect that the character remains the same because every actor has a different style in his/hers performance. Plus the chemistry between Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello is, almost, nonexistent. The script is dull, the plot is complex and unoriginal. It relies heavily on CGI that it becomes over- saturated. Again, it borrows from "Indiana Jones", mainly from "Temple of Doom". That chase scene from China is definitely inspired by the one from the second Indiana Jones movie. The action is fairly good but, mainly, disappointing. Plus, the movie does not know what it wants to be. Scary? Funny? Both? Because it fails on all three of them. It's a sequel that should have stayed in it's coffin and buried six feet under. The first one should have been that last one. That's all I'm saying. 5.5/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Unfortunately, I'm not going to post a review for "The Mummy" 2017 because the idiots that run the movie theater in my town decided not to show this movie. So that review will be posted as soon as I see the movie. This week, reviews, maybe, for "Office Space", "The Belko Experiment" etc. It's my final week of finals so I'm not sure when I will post these but I will try to be on schedule. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances ...

Escape Room (2019) Movie Review

Escape Room (2019) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies! So, just to be clear, this is not the ''A Star Is Born'' review as I promised and it is unlikely that I will still make that review. Instead of that, I have a review about a movie with an escape room, which, I guess, is more entertaining than a dramatic musical. Don't get me wrong, ''A Star Is Born'' is a very good movie, very emotional, dramatic and gripping, with some very good performances and beautiful songs. But we are here to talk about ''Escape Room''. Ever thought what would come out if you mix the style of the ''Saw'' franchise with the plot of an escape room? Well, we have the end result with this movie. The plot is as simple as it gets: six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Which is what you have ...

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Movie Review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this is what I am talking about, if you want to make a great action movie but still keep the style and panache of the original. J.J. Abrams did it. He combined, successfully I might add, the stunts and special effects with the style that made the first MI so good. It does suffer in some departments, especially the script and character development but that is just nitpicking at this point. The visual effects are awesome, the action is great and fast paced giving you the right amount of time to breathe before it chuckles you again into the action. The acting is top notch with a very good villainy performance from P.S. Hoffman. There are some twists but, sadly, are predictable and a bit similar to the one from the first movie.  However, looking past the little flaws, there is no denying that this movie was a step up, a huge step up from the previous one, setting the bar for wha...
