I might get to see it in a few days.
so all I got to say about it is from the little I heard as of pimpage and hear-say of friends familiar with the book whose opinions I came to respect, and from having seen the trailer a few times.
let's start with the trailer:
first time I saw it was quite a few months ago sitting in a virtually empty cinema, waiting for the mummy 2 to begin. here's my thoughts: it was fµcking too loud. the mass-combat scenes of the mummy 2 kicked the weary british ass of the mass-combat scenes the LOTR trailer had to offer. when I caught the first glimpse of strider I almost burst out laughing. that dude is the worst-cast thing since logan in that horrible "hey-look-it's-captain-picard" x-men-waste-of-celuloid....
how can you cast regular sized peeps as dwarfs and hobbits!!!!???!?!
they cut hundreds of pages of "The Fellowship of the Ring" down to that length, yet kept Bilbo? WTF?!?! he was just doing the peeping-tom thing on the elf chix at elrond's house, and they let him in?!?!?
I already got tired of what's-his-name-again-that-dude-who-always-gets-cast-for-such-roles-as-wormtongue some five hundred flix ago...
IT'LL BE TEH TOTAL SUKC END PO0!!1111!!!!11!!
The Mummy2, lol, that was one of the worst movies made recently, please you've got to be kidding. Yea Mummy has action, but it lacks the depth and character that make other movies great.
