"Dumb" of the Dragon Emperor

as a movie-freak, one way to waste time is to watch not exactly brain teasers, but good silly fun movies. i catched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor yesterday. They tried to entertain us with a series of daring escapades and breathtaking spectacles, but unfortunately these attempts fall far short of their aspirations. i don't understand why you'd cast Jet Li in a role that wastes his great screen presence by covering him in bad special effects most of the time, when he's far more compelling in his own skin. in fact, i would love to see the entire cast in a better movie with a stronger script.
