6/10
Decent watch but the magic of the earlier versions is missing.

The first and most important thing I would like to say is that Rachel Weisz is missed terribly in this version. Her beauty and and charm are just not present in this heroine.

Having said that, The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is a decent watch if you can ignore the illogical and often stereotypical storyline. For folks who want a fun time and don't mind the lack of depth in the script, this movie is just fine.

The special effects are good and the battle sequences are pretty decent. Plus there are some good Jet Li moments in the film. Michelle Yeoh looks pretty ravishing in the beginning of the movie.

Brendon Fraser does not impress as much as he did in the earlier versions and the same can be said of the rest of the cast.

Take a lot of popcorn into the theater and watch it on a big screen with good sound effects. That might just be able to spice up this offering.
