Don't go see this shit show. What a tragic fucking waste of Tom Cruise.

Mike has the whole thing right, you'll end up laughing at moments that are meant to be taken seriously, you might annoy people in the theater. The Boss Baby came out back in March so it unfortunately doesn't get to take shittiest summer movie of 2017, but the good news is The Mummy came out so the void is now filled. I don't see anything else coming out before September that can seriously take its spot.

Here's hoping we have something to laugh at in 2019 with the Bride of Frankenstein reboot.

Looks like Tom Cruise really fucked Brendan's franchise up.

He was the only somewhat-okay thing about the movie and even then it was mediocre. I think he did the best he could with what he was given. This was just a flop waiting to happen regardless of who the lead was.

And the thing is, with all the terrible decisions the studio made, having Tom Cruise was the smartest thing they could have done. "Muh foreign market!"

Wait, was The Mummy really all that popular beforehand? I watched the original and I honestly thought it was just "Meh".

Haven't seen that. I liked him in Valkyrie and TLS, although I don't remember much about either films.

AS IF Tom Cruise isn't a William Shatner esque joke with the acting ability of a pinecone

at least Shatner embraces his terribleness and does tongue in cheek stuff with it

Absolutely.

The '32 and '99 versions are cult classics.

The Mummy (1999) is one of my favorite movies. Chris Pratt is basically the reincarnation of early 00s Brendan Fraser.

Trans5mers is coming out next week.

I wonder if they'll try to sweep this one under the rug like Dracula Untold, or just keep going.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Did anyone seriously think it was going to be good?

The whole action/horror-lite hybrid genre has never worked.

Every time a movie is trying to set up a shared universe/franchise type deal to try and desperately catch the crumbs of the MCU it's almost always going to fail. Avengers worked because it was built up organically. If you place too much emphasis on making a cinematic universe the actual film making takes a backseat and you end up with a dogshit movie.

I figured it was going to be shit due to Tom Cruise being in it. I know him being a Scientologist doesn't reflect his acting or the movies he's in, but I can't take him nor his movies seriously due to it.

I could pretty much tell, what with the direction they were going with with Tom Cruise getting mummy powers, but is it at least okay background noise, or would you say it's bad at even that?

If there is absolutely nothing else (and I mean NOTHING) then it would be, but I would try to find SOMETHING else instead.

Fair enough.
