yeti's - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) Discussion

[–] boogernose 15 years ago

No you were not wrong to stop watching! I like fantasy and all, but the whole Yeti thing was way over the top. I sat through the remainder of the movie, but let me tell you: it doesn't get any better, and with a lot of room for improvement, that's saying something!

Over the top? I'll tell you what is over the top; a book that brings people to life just by reading from it! THAT is over the top!
There is a higher chance that a yeti exists thana a magical book that brings people to life just by reading from it.

I lie to everybody, what makes you so special?

yeah but ur missing the point ricochet4

the first movie was basically about ressurecting the dead, so haivng a book with that ability makes sense.

This movie is about a chinese "dragon" emperor that has come back to life to take over the world. Its just like, hey btw! YETIS FOR NO REASON N BYE

The yeti part made me laugh it was so random. The chinese girl starts chanting and yetis appear, with no explanation. So the audience is like ...k i guess yetis do exist. At least with the Mummy they explained how it came back to life, the yeti part was just bizarre. But no, you were wise to stop watching it, I rented it for free from my local library and I still thought it was a waste of my time.

As a side note, was it just me or did Jet Li's sidekick look like the dog whisperer?

Is it true that there is a place in a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?

I think IMDB needs to start allowing minus ratings for films like this!

I mean, how do you defeat a couple of thousand year old warrior king who can change shape and who's also immortal? Have a fistfight and headbutt him. Yeah, right!

Must be nice to get paid so much for doing phuq all.

grumble, moan, whinge etc.

In the yeti's defence, it was a scene that took place at the mythical gateway to the mythical city of Shangri-La. So is it that far-fetched that yeti's exist in a mythical place?

reply

[–] benmasta 10 years ago

it would have made the entire scene make sense if they explained this whole "mythical gateway" thing in a couple sentences.

it got worse when the yeti kicked one of the soldiers over a shrine and another yeti made the fieldgoal sign. But it was toped when the Emporer turned into a three headed dragon wtf.

"it got worse when the yeti kicked one of the soldiers over a shrine and another yeti made the fieldgoal sign."

So do the Yeti's have cable TV on their mountain and watch sports?... Is that how they learn about fieldgoals?! Or do they actually go to the games? This movie is terrible. I stopped watching the movie after this scene also..

Nothing beats a field goal Yeti in sheer awfulness.

I sat through the rest of this, but I don't want to watch this again. Even if it isn't too far-fetched in an already magical story, it's not good to go piling one magical thing on top of another on top of another. This ain't "Frankenstein meets a Werewolf".

The yeti scene was as bad as that alien bs in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. WTF were they thinking???

There is also the scene when a bomb is dropped directly on a car with the two bad guys in it, but they still manage to show up 5 minutes later just looking like they have dirt and soot on them. Haha completely ludicrous, they could've gotten away with doing that if it hit near the car, but it was a DIRECT HIT. Haha this was such an awful film, and I liked the first mummy movie .

How are yetis less realistic than the Scorpion King? Lol

reply

[–] KJax50 15 years ago

Avia

It's not the fact that they were realistic, it's the fact that it was out of no where with no explaination beforehand. At least with the Scorpion King there was an explaination as to how he got that way.

but I agree, the yetis were definately a WTF moment.

Geez. You guys watch movies about mummies and the dead returning back to life, but a yeti is over the top??? You enjoy and believe in mummies, but draw the line at Yetis?? That's what's truly over the top.

reply

[–] zimka 11 years ago

so, you are one of those people, who go along with ANY *beep* as long as SOME *beep* is going on? so where do you draw the line? would you be fine if instead of yetis some other random stuff showed up? ballet dancing hippos? penis-headed ducks? naked sandra bernard? how about that? no? what about gay superman twins? sentient nascar vehicles? robocop-style mutated cast of jersey shore? not over the top enough? shakespeare reading alines from james cameron? why not? see, i can make it up as i go along. just like this movie's writers. but it doesn't mean it makes any sense.

I had to stop watching as soon as the yeti's appeared. Was I wrong to have done so?

only wrong thing u did was not to turn it off 10 min into the movie...thats how bad it really is. I on the other hand, had to watch to the end so i can give it a fair rating...1/10 and i wish there where a choice to choose a 0 in rating sometimes...
