The Mummy (2017)

Movies is good but only reason to watch is stardom of Tom Cruise ,he is just awesome as usual. But when is come to story, it's a week part as when we talk about Egypt mummy's first this we recall the the mummy Series so as compared to that it's not up to the mark.

The Mummy has been made and remade several times.

Once in 1932, then again in 1999 (the one we all have seen) and now in 2017.

It’s ironic that the 1999 version was grander in scope and had more (if not better) visual FX and thrills and spills than the new version.
Lets go for the postives first.
This movie is not unwatchable. Its an OK movie which isn’t a barn on fire Aka a complete mess.
Some scenes are decent and the villainous mummy played by the gorgeous Sofia Boutella is (once fully resurrected) quite hot to look at!
Having said that, this film fails at almost every thing else.
The characters are half baked. The plot does a bad job of explaining the universe they are set in (the dark universe) Tom Cruise’s character is being either controlled by the heroine or the mummy or Henry hyde, he doesn’t do anything of his own till the last scene.
There are no fight scenes or anything even remotely cool happening in a mummy film!

My advice, Re-watch wonder Woman and then see the 1999 mummy at home. It was much better!

Rating : 5/10. Difficult to see even one time. Die hard fans of the Mummy trilogy will also not enjoy this film.

P.s: Good luck with the DARK universe after this barn burner.

P.P.S : Next time don’t give away EVERY single scene in the trailers. Like EVERY scene of any note is shown in the trailers. Including the climax. Also the poster is bullshit, london doesn't get disintegrated , only the GLASS breaks... geez.

Movie Review: The Mummy (minor spoiler)]
1. Muted Tom Cruise's screaming in the final cut
2. A highly underwhelming transformation of Dr. Jeckyll
3. A horrible cast for a villain
I really enjoyed the first 2 mummy films. The lead pair was energetic and the villain menacing. I found the film adventurous and 'shocking'/'amazing'. The legend of 'curse' and 'the mummy' sent shivers down the spine of 10 year old me then. But this one, is a big let down. The villain is horribly cast, and poorly written.

The film is neither scary nor a action fest. It tries to set up the dark universe but fails to lay a memorable foundation. Meh!

PS: I was hoping for a Dracula reference at the end of the film ( he too bit by a curse) but unfortunately and stupid on behalf of Universal, there is no Dracula in Dark universe.
