The Mummy

Blurb
Nick Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artifacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian princess who was entombed under the desert for thousands of years. With her powers constantly evolving, Morton must now stop the resurrected monster as she embarks on a furious rampage through the streets of London.
 
I rented this movie off of pay preview yesterday. I was surprised actually. I am not a fan of Tom Cruise but he actually didn't do too bad in this. The female archeologist though I had a problem with, she was a bossy bitch whose performance was less than Tom's. And I love the fact that they bought Russell Crowe into this but they didn't give a good enough reason for adding his character into this film  cause he played Henry Jekyll. As in Jekyll and Hyde. Why would you bring in Jekyll and Hyde to this? It made no sense in this story line.

The actress who played Ahmanet I like her. She has played in The Kingsmen, Star Trek, which I liked her better in Star Trek and she made a good Princess but once again it could have been better if they had developed her story line a bit more like what was done with the first set of Mummy movies. I liked that this one was based on the female as the baddy instead of a man. But they didnt use it to their advantage in the story line. The characterization was weak but it was a fast paced movie which kinda makes up for the weak characters.

 Now had they gotten Patricia who played the original bad ass female in The Mummy movie series to play Ahmanet

 It would have been a much better movie.

But it did have a twist at the end that I liked a lot and maybe Tom Cruise will be able to play it off but I doubt it with his acting abilities. He actually is now Set in this movie line. I'm not so sure how I like that. I like the idea that they are going to use Set as a major character in the next Mummy movie, and you know there will be another one made Hollywood just cant help themselves.

And I didnt like the double eye thing. That was just retarded. And if they are trying to start a new trend with the Gods they just need to quit.
