The Mummy (2017)

Director: Alex Kurtzman

Starring: Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Russell Crowe

An ancient princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

This was such a huge disappointment that I’m going to keep it short. This was ba-a-a-a-ad!!! Bad storyline; bad pacing; bad acting (Tom Cruise in particular); mediocre effects; just bad on every level! It’s just not credible at all. The film plays like a spoof – only it’s not funny. What did they spend the big budget on? Tom Cruise’s salary…? ‘The Mummy’ with Brendan Fraser was by no means a masterpiece, but it was indeed far more superior to the Tom Cruise version. Who was Russel Crowe’s character actually? What was his real purpose? He is not very well explored at all. The Jenny character is just downright silly and so non-funny that it won’t even be suitable for slapstick comedy.
