Sooooo yeah, y'all guessed it. It ain't good. Not the worst but I mean...wow, if this is how they were trying to kick off a franchise, it is pretty damn weak. I mean, where do I start? The first two Brendan Fraser movies are infinitely better. The Scorpion King is better. Tom Cruise is somehow a less interesting lead than Fraser. At least those movies had Rachel Weisz and John Hannah. Hell, even the mummy in those movies was a better villain than this one. Sofia Boutella has been fun to watch since Kingsman but they really don't give this mummy much to do beyond the whole sandstorm thing. And it doesn't even do much to introduce this new universe. Just some hints when Cruise meets Russell Crowe, but it's more like a "oh hey look at those" sort of thing (a vampire skull and a scaly arm) . And for fuck's sake, Jekyll turning into Hyde is not only a wasted opportunity, but it is also such a "that's it?" kind of thing. I always pictured Hyde as a grotesque monstrous personality, not Crowe with purple skin, yellow eyes, and a weird Cockney accent. And honestly, it's hardly a spoiler and I know most of you don't even give a shit. I'm sure Universal will go ahead with this film universe regardless if this bombs, but hopefully they'll at least make better films than this.
