The Mummy: Egypt Meets the Walking Dead

I gotta be honest, this was definitely a movie I saw to chow down on some popcorn and appease the hubby. I did enjoy the original Mummy movies and am not a big Tom Cruise fan, so with those factors lumped together, I was not too eager to see this.  Nothing against Tom, the dude has done a TON, but I think I'm just kind of over him.  Maybe if he did another Jerry McGuire or something, it would change my tune.  I digress. The Mummy reboot was't as bad as I thought, but still not the greatest.

Nick Morton isn't the best person in the world.  He isn't even decent.  The guy takes what he wants and does't seem to care who it affects.  This causes him more harm that he could ever imagine when he accidentally awakes an evil princess who was mummified thousands of years ago.  She is back with a vengeance and is searching for a human body to store the God of Death.  Since Nick was the smart one to awake her, she seems to think he is her soulmate and the perfect candidate.  It's up to Nick to find a way to break this curse and hopefully save the world from utter destruction.

The beginning of this film was actually really good.  It was interesting and grabbed my attention.  Then it gets weird when I start wondering if I am watching The Mummy or The Walking Dead.  I was literally waiting for Rick and Carl to turn up.  You take that and then add the fact that Nick (Mr. Cruise) evolves into a God, and it's time to check out early.  My husband even asked me if we could leave when we had 20 minutes left.  IMDB seems to agree with 5.9/10 stars and Rotten Tomatoes gave it 16%.  I would give it a solid 3/10.  Save your money and just Netflix or go see Wonder Woman again.
