Review of The Mummy (2017) by Tbeit2 — 27 Jun 2017

I honestly thought this movie was pretty mediocre. First, Tom Cruise is cool and the Mummy herself is awesome. The special effects are great and Russel Crow does a good job as well. The movie falls short everywhere else though.

The plot is all over the place, and it stops in the middle to expand the "Dark Universe", and it is a waste of time. It didn't need to be in the film, and it slowed it down and cluttered it.

The film also seemed to just be stumbling over itself near the end, having things happen for the sake of the plot and to find a way to keep the universe alive. Speaking of that, the ending is **** as well.

The last "fight" is very anticlimactic, stuff happens that isn't explained and then there is narration which tells you "We got a universe coming!". Along with that, some of the writing is bad.

The side character chick is really bland, the comedic effect guy that shows up randomly is not funny and annoying and Tom Cruise's character doesn't really develop. They attempt to, but they spend like two minutes on it and I didn't buy it.
