The Mummy

Post by hotsake »

Not as bad as I was led to believe. While not as good as the "Mummy" from 1999, 1959, or 1932 it is better than most of the sequels and mummy movies in general. I agree that the tonal shifts were jarring and didn't always work and it seemed that the director didn't quite know what he wanted. The scary parts worked well about half the time as did the lighthearted moments. Tom Cruise & Sofia Boutella did well and Tom was surprisingly funny and offbeat at times. Most everyone else was adequate. I did like the nods to the '99 Mummy as well as "An American Werewolf in London". As this was considered a commercial failure I doubt we'll get to see anymore from the Dark Universe which is a shame since I thought it had a lot of potential.
