It's the princess who was the object of Boris Karloff's affection back in 1932 that Still this 21st century version of one of Universal'sĬlassic monster genres is nothing to write home about. Having Tom Cruise head the cast of The Mummy in its latest incarnation certainly In summary, a complete mess that fails in almost every department apart from moments of good visuals and two above serviceable performances. The horror elements have none of the chills and scare factors, hurt by its predictability and being unintentionally funny. The action is completely lacking in excitement and choreographed in a scattershot and leaden way.

The comedy is sporadic and none of it is remotely amusing let alone funny.

It tries to be comedy, action and horror, too many elements, and fails at all three. The story is dull, disjointed and confused, while also tonally a complete mess. One of the worst aspects of 'The Mummy' is the dialogue, full of clunky exposition, unfunny and childish humour and often a clichéd shambles it's laughably bad. The music is generic at best and Alex Kurtzman's direction is muddled and without any kind of soul or a sense that he knew what to do with the film's tone. The way 'The Mummy' is photographed and edited can be too frenetic and the special effects veer on the cheap. Then we have Jake Johnson providing irritating and very poorly placed comic relief. Cruise and Wallis' chemistry is non-existent. Russell Crowe phones in his performance here, looking miserable and awkward and not making anything of his lines. Tom Cruise is embarrassingly miscast in a role that both doesn't suit him and is long in the tooth for, he also feels out of kilter in the setting. Some of the scenery is striking and some of the photography is slick and stylish. The best performance comes from an imperiously chilling Sofia Boutella, doing such a good job with what she's given to work with, and Annabelle Wallis does decently with relatively little. Its best things are two good performances. Not irredeemable but is lacking in almost every department. 'The Mummy' is such an occasion where to me the critics are on point.

Usually am very encouraging and try to be perceptive, do not take pleasure in bashing films that don't do anything for me. This is also coming from somebody who does find herself many times agreeing with critics, but has just as many times gone against the grain, thinking that negatively received films are not that bad while acknowledging their faults and also thinking that acclaimed films are not that good while acknowledging the things it does right. Unfortunately, so is 2017's 'The Mummy'.īefore anybody jumps down my throat and accuses me of following the crowd, an accusation that is becoming tiresome and ridiculous and says more about the person making the accusation than the people they're attacking, as said 'The Mummy' did have potential and personally really wanted it to work. Some of the previous 'Mummy' films, particularly the instalments with Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee and the 1999 film, wasn't crazy about a few of the Lon Chaney entries and 'Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' was a mess. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 2 / 10 Lacks lustre in almost every departmentĭespite concerns (such as whether Tom Cruise would fit), 'The Mummy' did have potential.
