Apparently having exhausted the audience’s taste for Egyptology, the producers of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor have set their film in China just after World War II. The film is an over-produced spectacle that’s crammed with lots of fiery chases, battles between a pair of computerized armies, booby-trapped tombs and a search for the pool of eternal life in Shangri-La, a magical land hidden in the snow-covered mountains of the Himalayas. Think of Mummy 3, as some are calling it, as a combination of the first two Indiana Jones outings with The Lost Horizon and the 2002 Chinese martial arts epic Hero.
