Review of The Mummy (2017) by Dubeau — 02 Aug 2017

Cruse has a running sequence in the Mummy but that doesn't elevate the film that much. He plays an antihero like he plays about all his roles and he is not very credible in it. The best characters in this movie is the Mummy itself (Sofia) and Chris Vail (Jake).

Vail is killed way too soon and he is the only thing bringing things down to earth. I like that the Mummy played into Nick's head but it is not always presented in a very efficient way. The others actors are average and the story is NOT scary at all.

The action is pretty good but the film takes it's time to start. It seems to me that the character of Dr. Hyde wasn't that great. It's justification, the very minimal special effect of his character. They could have given that role to Annabelle and make her so much more interesting.

I found myself watching the time after an hour, so...I give it a 40% because the action was decent.
