Review of The Mummy (2017) by B.t G — 23 Jun 2017
Alex Kurtzman's The Mummy unravels into mediocrity.
Unearthing at 110 minutes, The Mummy manages to explain more than enough, while moving at a comfortable steady pace. With that said, despite the fact that the film goes down a horror suspense path, rather than a campy fun one, The Mummy fails to deliver on the scares or thrills. The surprises are few and the main plot details of the film are predictable.
The CG is hit and miss. It gets the job done without hitting anything out of the ball park. The action is stale, also leaving nothing to remember.
Tom Cruise is the life of the film, but not a show stealer. Everyone else is underutilized, like Sofia Boutella, or out of place, like Jake Johnson. Annabelle Wallis and Russell Crowe blend in with the rest of the picture.
The Mummy has its place in the dark universe; there just isn't much of an impact.
