The Mummy (2017) film review

The Mummy (2017)

This is a film where I have difficulties in how I would rank this film because there are aspects I like about this film.

In many ways I think I went in expecting one film and got a different trailer but still confused on how to define the film.

The first act of the film was really good. But this film is going to get mixed reactions because it is difficult to pinpoint what kind

Tom Cruise is playing the Han Solo character of this film in it for the reward and doing the sarcastic remarks.  The Nobel thief on an adventure.

I think the beginning of the film was the best.

The action was pretty cool.

In many ways the Mummy's acted more like zombies rather than Mummies.

The beginning was the best.

This film was suspenseful with comedy.

Doctor Jekyell and Mr. Hide and think could have been handled better in the film. Doctor Jekyell was handled better.

The airplane and opening sequences were done pretty good. It was probably my favorite part to the whole film.  

I like the comedy elements in this film.

This was very different from the other Mummy films.

I think the score by Brian Taylor was interesting. Some of it sounded pretty cool.

I disliked how growse and disgusting the bodies looked in this film by the Mummy sucking the life out of them.

This was a very different kind of role for Tom Cruise. I think that a lot of the negative reactions may be because this is not Tom Cruise typical role we see him play as the Han Solo like character.

In the end I would say this is a medicure film but not one I would buy but I am curious what they can do or will do to this Monster Universe.

Dr. Jeckyl in many ways felt like a random element to the story in order to provide exposition to the story.

This film is filled with plot twist and turns.

My least favorite part is the interpretation of the Mummy. It was more like a curse/zombie film rather than focused towards the historical Mummy in the cultural sense.

I felt like this was a mediocre film.
