No Rachel Weisz or Oded Fehr, no movie.

This movie shouldn't have even been made with two of the main actors from the first two movies gone...what were they thinking making this movie anyway?? Those two were key components of the first two movies in keeping them watchable, did they honestly think a sequel would suffice without them? The actress they replaced the hero's wife with was so badly cast that at first I thought she was playing a different character and that the hero remarried...I didn't know she was playing the SAME character from the first two!

Sure Jet Li makes a decent villain but he hardly does anything in this...

I couldn't agree with u more. I mean its just not the same without them. Less adventure. Less action. Overall still ok movie. Could be alot better. Js.

I don't hate Maria Bello but yeah i did miss Rachel Weisz & i'll even admit i kind of missed Oded Fehr alittle.

The whole being named Evelyn thing never clued you in?

And Oded Fehr's character was simply unnecessary in this China-set movie and his appearance would have been a plot contrivance.

Movie was great --- but not as good as the 1st 2 --- none of the mummy's are truly plausible so what --- they are great escapism like Indiana Jones was and for that all 3 are great --- it made 388 million bucks not bad for a "failure" as many of you call it --- truly worthy of a part 4 --- yeah I miss Kate Winslet too wait uh I mean Rachel Weisz but heck bring her back for part 4 ---

So many share that boring point of view. I had no problems with Bello, she's good, and I'm glad they didn't let the movie depend on Weisz. I'm glad it was made, and hope for a fourth, but with so much yammering about Weisz and the same old mummy, it's probably not going to happen.
