The Mummy - "The Sands Will Rise. The Heavens Will Part. The Power Will Be Unleashed"
In ancient Egypt, high priest Imhotep started a forbidden relationship with Anck Su Namun, Pharaoh Seti's Mistress. When Seti finds out about what's going on, Imhotep and his loved one stab him, but can't escape the trustworthy guards: Anck Su Namnun chooses to commit suicide while Imhotep is bestowed with the Hom-Dai, the most feared curse of all: He is mummified alive in Hamunaptra, the city of the Dead. More than thirty-six centuries later, in 1923, to be exact, adventurer Rick leads Egyptologist Evelyn and her brother Johnathan to mysterious Hamunaptra. While Johnathan is keen on finding the legendary Egyptian treasures, Evelyn wants to search for the Book of the Living, which would clarify a lot in historical knowledge about the ancient Egyptians. Unfortunately, they and a rivaling group of careless American adventurers free Imhotep's mummy from his eternal prison. Now, with the ancient and quite agile high priest on the loose, the adventurers and scientists face not only a dangerous enemy, but also a massive threat to today's world: Imhotep wants to bring Ankh-su-namun back to life by using Evelyn's body, but he also wants to rid the world of the disbelieving crowd of democracy-supporters to be able to enforce his tyrannic dictatorship.

I loved 'The Mummy' the second was okay, I didn't by the whole Eve dying and then reincarnating her soul and bringing her back from the dead. But the 3rd just ruined the series for me! I didn't like the fact that Jet Li was in the movie, he just isn't that good of an actor in my opinion, the only reason he makes it as an actor is because of his Karate/Tae Kwan Doe skills. And the fact that they don't use the same woman who played Eve in the first 2 movies just outrages me. I loved her character and she made that character who she is, and no one can compare to her acting and little comedic references that she added into her role.

Oh nooooo! I read the poll question wrong, I thought you meant best and I picked the first . I completely agree that the third one was completely unneeded and it wasn't even that good.

What always amused me was that they took a classical horror movie, and basically made it into an action comedy. I someday hope to see Dracula and Werewolf being the same.

^That's semi-sarcasm .
