Where is Rachel Weisz?
8 September 2008
Replacing Rachel really killed the movie. And replacing her with Maria Bello did things worse. She is nowhere near the looks of Rachel Weisz, the way she moves in actions scenes is awkward? and The dialogs/script make it worse, turning Evelyn O'Connell from an action girl into a housewife. This role just doesn't fit Maria Bello. You can just forget Evelyn as you knew her in the 2 previous movies.

As for the rest of the movie, I felt like I was watching a movie I already saw. Cheese lines, repeated from other movies made this one really predictable. I was almost able to tell what the actors would say.

We all know it is a fictional movie, but I think they overkilled it. A caught myself saying out loud "You've got to be kidding me!". Monsters, mummies and other creatures could have different reactions to bombs, but when a bomb lands right next to a human I expect not to see that guy in the rest of the movie. Too many scenes of skeletons walking around knocking each others head off by accident and then trying to walk around to find their heads... Could be funny at first, but when you see it 3-4 times it gets boring. CGI was obvious and awful. Really reminded me of some movies when CGI was introduced, or recent low budget movies.

Taking all things into account, they made this movie to get money from the fame of the previous 2 movies. If it wasn't for Brendan Fraser's performance I would have rated this movie with a 3. I really hoped that the trilogy would close with decency but unfortunately it doesn't. If you still want to see it, rent the DVD instead of going to the cinema.

Much better than the first movie
2 May 2008
Don't expect a great movie, but it was fun to watch. People were laughing in the theater through out the length of the film. Plot: Doesn't really have a good one, as most of the recent Greek films. Just 4 guys trying to avoid the army and eventually having to serve as I4, a rank right before incapable to serve. They join a 5th I4 as they are sent to serve some short time on an island where special forces are training. The SF guys give them a hard time and somewhere in the middle of the film, they decide to fight back!

The only thing that I didn't like was the ending.Don't worry, no deaths or a sad ending. Just in my opinion, they could have come up with something better for the ending.
