Here is My Movie Review of The Mummy 2017

So basically what happens is that you have this guy named Nick Morton who is the US agent Sergeant and he finds out that there is this ancient Mummy named  Ahmanet II Who has been awakened from a tomb so Nick Morton has to team up with his archaeologist named Jennifer Jenny Halsey who tell them that they have to find the ancient tomb and stop Ahmanet II  from destroying the world. That is basically what the story is for this film.  To be honest storyline in the film is just not that interesting because when you think of a movie that it's about the mummy you would think it's something awesome and really intense and scary but with a lot of entertaining aspects about it but in this film did nothing much entertaining about this entire film because nothing much happens. 

The acting in this movie is really bad aside from one performance in the film that is somewhat entertaining. I had to say this movie is off there with The Circle as one of the Worst acted films of 2017. 

Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton in the film. I have to say well he is trying to give a good performance overall I just feel like he did not do a great job in the film because well there are moments of him almost giving a good performance. Overall I just think this is one of the most boring performances that Tom Cruise has ever done in his career. What's really Disappointing is that Tom Cruise is a tremendous actor because if you watch him in The Outsiders and Minority Report. But the character of Nick Morton is terrible because he is so unlikable because all he does is just argue with Jennifer Jenny Halsey And they're the thing where he died and then he wakes up a bag naked in this facility it's just does not make any sense he said they horrible character and the romance between him and Jennifer Jenny Halsey does not make a sense because they don't get along at all. The chemistry between him and Annabelle Wallace, Jake Johnson, Russell Crowe, Sophia Boutella Is okay. 

Annabelle Wallace plays Jennifer Jenny Halsey  In the film. I have to say she does a terrible job as this character because she is just over the top and not entertaining at all. Now the character of Jennifer Jenny Halsey Is awful because she is just there to be rescued by Nick Morton and that's all she does. She just gives Exposition and she's just there to be saved by Nick Morton and that is it she doesn't have any character development whatsoever. The thing where they start to like each other it's just so terrible because even when they kind of like each other Nick Martin still comes off as an asshole to her because of the way he treats her. The chemistry between her and Tom Cruise is okay.

Now there is only one good performance in this entire mess of a movie and that is Russell Crow as Dr Henry Jekyll/Edward Eddie Hyde. Now even though he Is only in two scenes of the entire film I actually do think he is the best thing about this entire movie. Also I like the idea of Dr Henry Jackal / Edward Eddie Hyde being a Monster Hunter. To be on that does have a lot of attention but the problem in the movie barely focuses on the idea it only focuses around that like 5 minutes and it's never mentioned again. The scene where dr Henry Jackal turns  into Edward Eddie Hyde Is probably the only best part of the entire movie because it is really disturbing and the transformation is actually really scary and it kind of works with the film to be honest like I wish  Dr Henry Jackal / Edward Eddie Hyde What the main villain to be like I don't know it would redeem the movie but it will make it slightly more entertaining. Fun fact actors like Javier Bardem, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and Eddie Redmayne were all considered to play Dr Henry Jackal / Edward Eddie Hyde. The chemistry between him and Tom Cruise is decent. 

But the worst performance of this entire film is Jake Johnson as Chris Vail Because all he does is just make a lot of bad jokes and just goes over the top as possible and that is his entire performance for the film. But the character of Chris Vail Is terrible because all he does is just crack a lot of bad jokes and argue with Nick Morton and that's it that is his entire character although the two of them don't get along for the entire film because all they do is argue with each other throughout almost the entire film. The scene where they find Ahmanet II Just comes off as feeler heavy and is not that interesting. The chemistry between him and Tom Cruise Is okay. 

Sophia Boutella plays Ahmanet II  In this film. I have to say she is really bad in the film because she just over acts for the entire film that goes completely way over the top. Now I'll give her credit for one thing: her performance is not as bad as Gerard Butler's performance as Set from Gods of Egypt. That one was super offensive because Gerard Butler is Scottish and he was playing an Egyptian character well at least with Sophia Boutella who was born of South African descent. But the character of Ahmanet II Is very boring because her backstory is very boring Really weird because her dad was the king of Egypt and she loved her father but she wanted to be queen of Egypt so she killed him and took his place and she wants to to send darkness across the world and that is her entire character. Also the way she kills people in this movie is so dumb she kisses them and she died and that is not only really stupid but it's kind of a rip off too poison ivy from Batman because she does the same thing but the only difference being is that she is injected with plant and animal toxins in her bloodstream so that's how she got that ability. But with this it just does not make any sense. It comes off as very weird. Oh you want to know how Ahmanet II dies in this movie Nick Martin kisses her and that's how she dies and I am not even kidding that's how they kill her off in this film is so dumb.  It is the dumbest villain death since Ezekiel Sims in Madam web. I think Ahmanet II Snoke from Star Wars: The Last Jedi as one of the worst villains of 2017. The rivalry between her and Nick Morton is not really interesting because the movie doesn't really develop their rivalry at all because the movie doesn't explore their relationship in the film at all. The chemistry between her and Tom Cruise is decent. 

The directing by Alex Kurtzman Is awful because it feels like he's trying to make this like MCU movie because this movie tried it  up so many things for a dark universe movie monsters but failed because this movie flop really hard at the box office it didn't make that much money also feel like you don't know what this film is does he want this to be a horror movie or an action  comedy film. So overall I think he did a terrible job directing this film. 

So in conclusion I did not like this film. The storyline was so terrible it was not interesting. Not to mention this film is really boring because nothing much happens it's all just Expedition and arguing that's it. Well Tom Cruise does try to give a good performance in the film unfortunately it's not enough to redeem that film so in all honesty this is truly his worst performance he has ever given in his career.  To be honest  the only thing I actually enjoyed was Russell Crowe as Dr Henry Jackal / Edward Eddie Hyde  because I think he was the actor that had the most amount of fun in this film. His character was the best character in the movie despite him only having two scenes.  Also Ahmanet II is a really terrible  villain and is not really interesting at all. Her backstory is bland and the way she died is really dumb. Also I think she is up there The Enchantress from Suicide Squad add one of the worst villains of the 2010s. I have to say this movie is up there with Flatliners 2017 as the one the worst films of 2017. I think this movie is up there with Polar one of the worst films of the 2010s. I said just skip this movie and go watch the original Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser because they are a lot better and are actually entertaining. I give this movie a 2/10.
