This collection is basically just the three individual Bluray Mummy movies shoved into a slipcase. And therein lies the problem for me. As The Mummy trilogy like Aliens is one of those movie collections where the first couple of movies were great and then the rest just slid into well......, not so great!
If you haven't seen The Mummy, then you're in for a wonderful ride as Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz just do a suberb job. It starts out strong and just keeps getting stronger. A perfect action interspersed with comedy movie! It reminded me a lot of the first time I saw Raider's of the Lost Ark. It's that type of movie!
Then came the sequel, The Mummy Returns. And surprise, surprise. It was one of those sadly very rare Hollywood occasions where the sequel actually lived up to the original. Once again, highly recommended!
And then came the third. Different girl, different continent, poorer storyline and great sadness. The kids will probably love it but for hard-core Mummy fans it was like the third Alien movie, a big big disappointment!
If you haven't seen the first two Mummy movies and you like action/comedy movies like Raider's of the Lost Ark; then I highly recommend this. But I suggest you check out the price of the first two individual movies first and only buy the collection if it's cheaper or near the same price. In which case you could do what I did, keep the first two, throw away the slipcase and give away the third! Unless of course, you're one of those folks who actually like the third movie, in which case my sincere apologies!
So overall, my rating for the collection is based on the first movie which is definitely 5 stars, the second around 4 stars and the last 2 stars.

I haven't actually watched it, as it is a gift for someone. I was very happy to find the whole set in one and at a great price. To purchase one at a time would have cost so much more. so thank you.

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

This review is for the Blue Ray collection. Picture: Pristine. Sound: Great. Movies: I & II - Grand Entertainment. Universal successfully resuscitated it's venerable monster genre and transformed it into bigtime Tentpole event movies and produced two very good action adventure rides to take with the kids. III - Phoned in. Brendan collects huge paycheck and goes home. Rachel wisely stays away in the first place. Kid being groomed to carry on - the poor man's Shia (and I didn't think much of him either). Jet Li - stony and morose. Story is flat. Use of China as a backdrop - secondary and poorly executed (nothing new or breathtaking here). This truly is the sin - we're actually IN China for heaven's sake and there is no grand vista, no expansive shots to dazzle us with the landscape. In watching the nightclub scenes I kept expecting Kate Capshaw to step out and start singing - it's that derivative. Everything else is CGI. No overall quality to raise it to the level of the other two. But the kids will like the ride none-the-less...and yet...Worth the upgrade? YES - for the first two alone.

Great deal for these movies - works in the US

This set appears to have been intended for sale in Europe - one of the ratings labels on the cover appears to be for the Irish Film Censor's Office. Being that I live in the US and was aware of the regional coding issues present with a lot of DVDs, I was a little nervous about buying this. I read up online about region coding on Blu-Rays and apparently it's used a lot less than in the DVD era and one source indicated that Universal doesn't region code their Blu-Rays at all.
I decided to try this set out due to the price difference between this version and the US labeled one. I use a PS3 for a Blu-Ray player and the discs work perfectly. I have a TON of language choices - I'll only use one, but that may be helpful to others out there. Other than that, absolutely no difference as far as the movie content and special features.
I'm glad I took the gamble.

MUMMY: Trilogy.

I love the Mummy movies. A trilogy box set was perfect....as long as they don't make a fourth. After watching ' The Mummy; Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. they better not. The action was great in the aforementioned movie, the chemistry was not as good, and some of the acting weak....but hey it was still fun. If you love the Mummy movies and don't have them all, this is a great deal for the price.
