Review of The Mummy (2017) by Lukehat — 01 Jul 2017

I can't contemplate why films are so bad considering the budget they get. On paper; good actors, potentially good writers, so why is the film so poor? What went wrong?

- Child like brotherly relationship in the face of extreme danger. - Soldier General doesn't seem overly concerned that two of his soldiers, I assume secret ops, are running around illegally stealing things for profit, completely off mission.

- Hot girl (I assume non-military?) - (why is an archaeologist on the front line military?) arrives on scene conviniently asking for a map that Cruise stole after having sex with her. Conviniently she seems to be an expert on the tomb they magically uncovered. How lucky.

- All three of them; two of them grave thieves, seemingly unqualified, and childlike, get sent down in to the tomb, on the archaeologists authority? Since when do military listen to achaeologists...

- Magically they crash land in London, and Cruise is kept alive. Ok; if the gods have the magical powers to do that, then surely she wouldn't be running around in human form, and buried in the ground by humans, in the first place. She gets done over by a couple darts again in modern times.

- Dr Jekyl and Hyde is the mastermind behind the archaeology department running the military..... Couple running (not sexist then is it) away from danger ensues. +1 that Annabelle Wallis can run! They cast her well. As fast as Cruise though? He is short so maybe.

- 'good' Love and Heroism conquers 'evil'. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.

Apparently this is the start of a high budget series. Going to be as bad as the marvel stuff I assume.
