With a lame plot, and no Rachel Weisz, this new Mummy makes Jack a dull boy. After conquering the same mummy two times, Rick (Brenden Fraser) and Evelyn O Connell (Maria Bello (stepping in for Weisz) should have stuck to Indy films) have settled into retirement. (Green Valley News & Sun, AZ)
This 'Mummy' is dead on arrival Aug 3, 2008
Evelyn was originally played by Rachel Weisz, who wisely decided two "Mummys" were enough and passed on the third. Instead of making the character her own, Bello tries to mimic Weisz's performance, but she can't even get past the English accent. (Seacoast New Hampshire)

'The Mummy': Undead Again. By Kurt Loder Aug 2, 2008
It helps that the blithely likable Brendan Fraser is back as stalwart explorer Rick O'Connell, and that Maria Bello has been recruited to play his equally intrepid wife, Evie, a role previously occupied by Rachel Weisz.

Forgettable 'Mummy' sequel crash lands Aug 1, 2008

Instead, intrepid adventurers Rick (Fraser) and wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, replacing Rachel Weisz, whose absence might be explained by her winning an Oscar since the last one) are battling a massive army of terra cotta soldiers led by the reanimated evil Dragon Emperor (a wasted Li), who was cursed into suspended animation centuries ago by a beautiful sorceress (a similarly wasted Yeoh) whom he made the mistake of trying to kill.

'The Mummy,' 4 stars Jul 31, 2008
Bello subs for Rachel Weisz, who probably thought all this Mummy stuff was beneath her after winning an Oscar.

Perceptive `Persepolis,' spooky `Spiderwick' now out on DVD Jun 27, 2008
Will divided his time among three women -- Emily (Elizabeth Banks), Summer (Rachel Weisz) and April (Isla Fisher) -- and writer-director Adam Brooks works a bit of mystery into this standard romantic dramedy by not letting us know which one Will ultimately married. The performances are generally strong and, if the movie is a bit overlong, it's pleasant and certainly easier to take than many other films of this sort. (Kalamazoo Gazette, MI)

An insubstantial slice of life, love May 9, 2008
Memphis, which is where My Blueberry Nights lost me, is, like New York, reduced to a couple of iconic locations and seemingly frozen in time, telegraphed via a honky-tonk bar, an old-school diner and the sashaying form of Rachel Weisz as Sue Lynne, a femme fatale whose estranged husband, Arnie (David Strathairn), a cop, is steadily drinking himself to death on Elizabeth's shift. Strathairn is affecting as a hopeless drunk, but Weisz's role is thankless, and both are stuck in a cliche. (Baltimore Sun)
