Fan mail

I wasn't the only critic who did not care for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. But my review irked some people anyway. Here's an e-mail from an apparent Mummy fan, original spelling and all. Why do people, when they're on the attack, always bring the Cuban thing into it? It's weak, man. Plus, a million people have already done it before you did. Come on, you can do better.

Subject: your review on the new mummy movie

I really can't belive anyone pays you for an opinion on any thing let alone a movie your review was so way off that i cant belive you still have a job.The hgearlad never did give acurate reviews on movies but yours is jusy the worst ive ive ever read they so need to fire you and get someone who knows what they are saying

but then the hearald staff always was and has been blind to anything that didnt have to do with the Iland of cuba  so i guess i need to take that into account maybe you should write for the cuban news they might take you opinion to heart 

i just think your review was well stupidmaybe if it had  some brainless latina as lead lady you may have given it a better review or some telentless male lead from one of thiose brainless latino soaps you must be watchin

Lovely.

But now that he mentions it, just for kicks, I'd pay to read a serious critic reviewing an Univision or Telemundo novela.

Just imagining what Manohla Dargis would write about La Madrastra has me rolling on the floor already.

That comment could only have been written by a retard. Not only is the "typing" proof of that, but the fact that he/she thinks that the new Mummy movie is good. Just by seeing the previews you can tell the movie sucks!

[Capitan Justicia]

Pay no attention to the bigots Rene, they're just scared of the fact that we are the future of this country! Btw, thanks for warning me about the Mummy 3, now I know not to waste my money on it. Saludes.

Well I'll probably won't go see this new Mummy film, I was never a fan of mummy films. But I will say this: movie critics are people like us and they go see a movie and like or not depending on taste for a certain genre, etc. I read all the critics on the "Golden Compass" and it was practically trashed, so I did not go see it, but I rented it a few ago and loved it, though the main character, the little girl was not that convinving to me and not very pleasant to the eye.

Just saw the movie, at least half of it... It was sooo bad we walked out. I liked the first two, but this was unbearable! If you must see, take two shots of tequila! Basically numb yourself before watching. It was horrible!

This knucklehead bigot should be more concerned with his abominable writing skills than your reviews. Reviews, I might add, written in perfect English by someone who has a command of at least two languages, compared to his half of one. Idiot.

I WENT WITH THREE OTHER PEOPLE. OUT OF A POSSIBLE FOUR. WE ALL GAVE IT FROM A 3 TO A 3 AND A HALF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BRANCH OFF FROM THE ORIGINAL MUMMY, BUT I THOUGHT THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE AWESOME. THE MOVIE THAT I THOUGHT WAS TERRIBLE WAS JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN JOURNEY BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH TO GET ALL OF MY MONEY BACK. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PICTURE.

To be honest who gives a F about a quarrel with some fan of yours, furthermore keep that S to yourself and critic the movies..Take a little criticism yourself and quit being so sensitive it's the public what do you expect?

[r. duke]

Duh The "What?"

[Juan]

Only an idiot who would write that poorly would fully enjot this film. How typical.

You know what your problem is? You are telentless.
