The Mummy Review

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.
