Legacyquels are sometimes a method of righting the wrongs of franchises who lost their way. If we’re to do The Mummy justice, let’s start by giving it a sequel it deserves, and potentially the ending it needs to be a complete and consistently good trilogy. That right there makes the film easy to forget about, but the general boredom that movie inspired was so antithetical to what Stephen Sommers’ previous films gave us. With a story and execution that felt like a cheap imitation of the previously polished franchise, it didn’t even let fans say good bye to Rachel Weisz’s Evie, as she refused to return for this third film. That fate has certainly befallen the Brendan Fraser variant of The Mummy, as seen in its ill-advised threequel The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and it’s also why at least one final Mummy movie is in order. If one isn’t careful, it could turn into one hell of a mess that sees everything that made it so special fall away. We Can’t Let The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor End The Seriesīringing back a franchise like The Mummy is definitely dangerous.
