The Mummy (2017) Review : Another "Cinematic Universe" Failure


It just sucks. I wonder how much they pay Tom Cruise to be in this one, most likely with promises that he's gonna be portrayed so macho and alpha af that even a 5000 years old undead prune wanna fuck him. 


Cruise's epicness from the Mission Impossible movies was ruined for me by his participation in this film. I think now he is very well aware that he better be focused to be in only those movies.



The most hilarious thing about this film was that it was supposed to kickstart a "Universal monster movies cinematic universe" named as the "Dark Universe". Universal was so eager to jump in the Hollywood's cinematic universe race as they eagerly fast-tracked this project and they even released a trailer commemorating the launch of this universe. And this plan failed miserably by its first movie in the supposed universe as The Mummy bombs commercially and critically.



Every year Hollywood never fail to deliver a big budget bomb and this is the one for 2017. Or one of many bombs in 2017.



4/10
