Deception was a game, not a movie.

sorry, with all the mortal combat games and then the movies that came out i lost track.

Spoiler alert, but by the sound of everyone's post, no one might give a shit

I finally saw it. It was decent but the were too many dry moments to call it bad ass: Such as Frasier's character and his wifes constant romantic moments. I didn't care for the actress change of the wife either, it was distractive even when i havent see a mummy movie in years.

I like the first two mummie movies because Imotep was a badass villain, but Jet Li's villain is just an asshole who is too overpowered. He can control (supposedly) 5 elements: metal, wind, fire, ice, and wood (even though he never used wood). I'm all for elemental villains but if your too lazy and leave out water, earth and thunder, then your villain sucks. Plus, i wouldn't really call him a mummie, more like a walking corpse in a statue.

The back story in the beginning was too long, the Williams guy betraying them was cliche (although i liked how he got owned) and the brother's comic relief was mediocre when in the last two movies it was actually funny. I wanted to laugh, but i had to force a chuckle.

There are two things that save this movie:

1) The special effects where awesome, but like video games, graphics don't make the movie.

2) Isabella Leong


But i think i know why this movie failed in my eyes: it wasn't the Dark Knight.

Seriously, if you haven't seen the Dark Knight then you should and if you have and want to see the Mummy 3, don't, just go see Dark Knight again.

Oh and i almost forgot, i thought it was very ironic that a movie set in china comes out while the Olympics are in china.

Those five elements are the five classic Chinese elements... sort of, it is water instead of ice. Still, including thunder and replacing wood with earth would wreck what he was suppost to represent. But yeah, he was not a mummy... at all.

I really didn't pay much attention anyway, i was think about how much i wanted to see the Joker blow the hospital up again.
