Jekyll frequently draw conclusions out of their butts.
There are also parts that are just absolutely pointless and unnecessary. The jokes fall flat so much so you kinda feel sorry for Jake Johnson who clearly wants to make some effort as this film's comic relief. And it gets even more frustrating when they bring it up again the second, third and fourth time as if shoving it down our throats would make it better. The concept of what the writers and director Alex Kurtzman is trying to present to us with "The Mummy" is nothing new, in fact it's quite predictable, but the biggest problem about it is that along the way from point A to point B, they fill it in with moments that just don't work. Co-starring Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Russell Crowe and Jake Johnson, directed by Alex Kurtzman. When a couple of treasure hunters and an archaeologist awaken her in our present day, she returns to life to reclaim her destiny while at the same time unleashing unimaginable terrors in this new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters. Sofia Boutella plays an evil ancient princess imprisoned in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert. Perhaps they should just press the reboot button again. And Tom Cruise is just wrong for this role, a huge case of miscast. It feels more like sitting in a dentist's waiting room as opposed to rockin' on a roller coaster ride. There's probably only a couple of sequences that somewhat thrill, the rest are just a continuous string of one poorly written, poorly acted and poorly executed scene after another.
If #TheMummy is supposed to be the beginning of Universal's ambitious Dark Universe that showcases their classic monsters in one big shared cinematic crossover, then they're off to a terrible start.
