So I just got back from seeing The Mummy... and... well... it's not as bad as the critics make it sound (okay, you can start booing now).
So the film stars Tom Cruise, playing Tom Cruise, or at-least his type of personality he brings to the other films he is in. He does an alright job at it.
I'll go through the flaws of the film, which most of you probably want to hear. So, the big thing is that about half of the character's make really dumb decisions, like 5 seconds of logic and you could make a better choice than half of the characters. Also there's a romance that is kind of forced in the film, which it could have avoided.
I have to applaud the person(s) that did the set design. It was really well done and I think they deserve credit were credit is due.
Also the makeup artists did a fantastic job with the mummy herself.
Oh yeah, and Russell Crow is in this film.
Well the question is, is it enjoyable? My answer, meh. there's some entertainment to behold, but you can easily predict what will happen next. The comedy is worth a few chuckles, otherwise nothing spectacular. The action is okay, but nothing new (or nothing to creative), character motivation is a little sloppy, but it's acted alright overall.
I don't think that this film deserves the hate it's getting as much as it is, but rest assured that this movie is no Brendan Fraser mummy film.
Final score: 3/5
