As a screenwriter, these are not the kind of reviews you want to read about your work. From Rotten Tomatoes:

Hollywood could learn from the Mummy series: better to leave it buried. - Christy Lemire

The movie feels like the direct-to-dvd version of The Mummy, complete with cheesy, already-done CG effects, and best of all, not a single actual mummy in the entire movie. - David Poland

Writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar treat the audience as a simple cat with a small brain - stupid enough that a ball of yard will amuse them for hours. - Brad Miska

Makes the first two Mummy films seem like The Godfather I and II.- Nick Schager

Ouch. Might want to put an icepack on your assholes there, fellas. Then again, I’m sure they got paid handsomely for their work, and are doing pretty well career-wise. I’m also not even sure William Goldman himself could have made something out of this third installment of The Mummy, especially with the whole China angle. Speaking of Goldman, sequels like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and not The Dark Knight, were why he called them whore’s movies in the first place.
