Trivia:
The character name "Maxwell Anderson" (the late brother of Brendan Fraser's character) is an in-joke reference to the famous American playwright of that name, many of whose works have been filmed. moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the tube, Trevor tries to light the magnesium with a flare. Seconds later, the flare is out. Flares usually last up to 15 minutes, but they can be smothered. moreQuotes:
[from trailer]Sean: [running from a dinosaur] Haven't you ever seen a dinosaur before?
Trevor: Not with skin on it!

Brendan Fraser was great in the mummy - and that's about the best I can say for this movie.
Lack-lustre acting, especially from child/teen actor Josh Hutcherson who was significantly better in Bridge To Terrabithia, dismal special effects (for a 2008 movie) and very poor direction make this movie very forgettable. It seems as though the script-writers and director got together and threw together as many disparate scenes as the could and then picked them out of a hat, out one by one and put them together in random order to turn them into a movie with absolutely no credibility whatsoever.
The original motion picture score was the only thing that kept me interested in this movie and I will be looking for it on line to add to my collection (sorry, no modern music, just great orchestration) when it comes out.
3-D glasses are the only things that make this movie worthwhile seeing. If you only get to see the 2-D version then take along sunglasses or your PSP.
