Meanwhile, Russell Crowe didn’t get a whole lot to do except expound some exposition and made for such a weak Mr. Add to that, he and Annabelle Wallis shared zero chemistry with one another which is slight problem considering their relationship is key for his motivations at the end. Sure, he probably put his heart into training for the role and all, but he seemed so out of place in this universe.
I normally like Tom Cruise movies, even his poorer ones ( Mission: Impossible II comes to mind), but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen him appear so disinterested.
#Sofia boutella chris brown wall to wall movie
And when the movie was over? I kind of shrugged my shoulders and moved on, partially focusing on the college football games going on… This isn’t a ‘bad’ movie per se yet there is absolutely nothing memorable either from the visual effects which were fine or characters that were rather boring. I can’t say I was disappointed with The Mummy (the 2017 edition) as I went in with neither low nor high expectations. Or something along those lines, again, forgettable movie and I kind of stopped caring after the first act. Now Nick and Jenny must outrun Ahmanet, as well as avoid Jekyll’s worse half, before Ahmanet gets her way and evil is unleashed on our world. Henry Jekyll (RUSSELL CROWE) and after a brief encounter with Ahmanet, who is captured, Nick is taken to London where this organization is located and gets a lay of the land and where Jekyll explains the situation and reveals Nick is cursed and Ahmanet needs him to be the vessel for true evil, visa vi a dagger with a previous stone. Soon enough he begins seeing weird things while we learn of Jenny’s true identity, working for a secret organization headed by one Dr. As you know from the trailers, Nick saves Jenny giving her a parachute, while he crashes with the plane.Īwakened in the morgue, Nick finds himself well and alive much to Jenny’s disbelief. Put on a cargo plane, they fly off to England, first Chris begins changing and turns on the others and next the plane is attacked by a flock of crows and starts going down. Immediately Nick begins having visions of a woman, Princess Ahmanet (SOFIA BOUTELLA), who was mummified and buried alive centuries ago after she murdered her family. Ordered to go down into the cavern, Jenny, Nick and Chris venture down discovering many artifacts and being in a time crunch, Nick kind of recklessly sets off a pulley system that lifts a sarcophagus from a pool filled with mercury as the substance is thought to ward off spirits… or something. It turns out they found out this location thanks to a map Nick stole from archeologist Jenny Halsey (ANNABELLE WALLIS), whom he had a sexual rendezvous with. Their latest takes them to an occupied village and after receiving heavy gunfire, Chris wisely calls in air support which bombs the area, opening a hole. The Mummy is set in the modern day focusing on Nick Morton (TOM CRUISE), a soldier and all around scoundrel and thief who, with fellow soldier Chris (JAKE JOHNSON), traipse across Iraq looking for artifacts to “acquire”.
And for all the problems the latter has had with the world building, at least you can give a damn one way or the other, this however was an auspicious start as this incarnation was completely forgettable.

Tom Cruise never really felt at home, Annabelle Wallis was rather bland in the female lead, Russell Crowe unremarkable in a forced appearance as Jekyll/Hyde and Sofia Boutella makes for a hot mummy, but not very threatening. I didn’t feel The Mummy was a bad movie but worse yet, a completely forgettable one.
