The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

The latest entry in a franchise fueled by dumb moments doesn’t even have a numbnut moment of its own to compete. Not saying that The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor isn’t dumb in its own right, but it’s the kind of self-aware dumb that lets the audience know that they’re not being condescending. Unlike a lot of the other big tickets this season, the script doesn’t bother entering the valley of extended exposition. Lots of showing, not telling. Which is sorta what a blockbuster is supposed to be, right? Rated PG-13
