Review of The Mummy (2017) by Aaron O — 29 Aug 2017
It's not that 'The Mummy' is a bad movie; it's that this version of 'The Mummy' isn't a good movie.
The central issue is that Cruise was the wrong actor - and that's a very hard idea to grasp since nearly every movie he's been in has been the better for it.
Where casting went wrong is that Cruise has made a career of playing guys either totally in control, or able to get there - and in 'The Mummy', Cruise plays a character who's a bit of an idiot... which the audience can't buy at all.
