Tom Cruise movie, The Mummy movie review takes a lesson from Bollywood
Tom Cruise movie, The Mummy movie review takes a lesson from Bollywood: What we are left with is our hero kicking up a lot of sound and fury, and sand, of course, with the promise of much more of the same to come. Not actively awful, however not a barrel of silly fun either.
The Mummy movie cast, Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella, Russell Crowe, Jake Johnson
The Mummy movie director, Alex KurtzmanThese are my top five takeaways from The Mummy reboot, fronted by the Cruise man, and a golden-eyed wraith who rises from the earth.
If you are a beautiful Egyptian princess buried alive, you are going to wake up scores of years later. Take it from us. And the first thing you will do is to look upon the face of a handsome stranger, and your toughened heart will melt. Sofia Boutella plays the part of the New Mummy Rising with a permanent snarl-cum-wistfulness, tattoos running down her face. Because she is female, Sofia has to be jealous of another woman who is vying for the attention of her man. Lesson: hell hath no fury like a mummy scorned.
Said handsome stranger played by Tom Cruise, a top gun in his mid 50s is the portrait of a star in search of a persona. What do you do, once you have done and dusted several mission impossible? Why become a looking for a main chance adventurer making eyes at a modern day archeologist, and a mummy with a sexy bod whom he calls a ‘chick’. The impact of Bollywood is getting stronger, even if it shows up for a flash, the Egyptian princess walks on ancient sandy dunes just the way a series of Bolly beauties have whenever they are transported to a desert for a song and dance acres of flowing robes streaming behind, metal bustiers to the fore, background music swelling. Who says schmaltzy Bollywood has no legs?
Taking that point further, who says you need a plot when you have such a svelte looking mummy (once she cracks open her tomb), a blonde scientist, and a good looking if weathered rogue larking about in Iraq and London, falling out of planes, and shooting people underground in London, Only problem though is that the moment all the frenetic action stops, the film grinds to a halt.
You don’t even need a Russell Crowe to do his thing swallow the screen when you are a kick starting a monster franchise. This must be the only film in which Crowe, after spouting some high falutin’ rubbish about good and evil just disappears into the scenery. What we are left with is our hero kicking up a lot of sound and anger, and sand, of course, with the promise of much more of the same to come. Not actively awful, however not a barrel of silly fun either.
By the pricking of my thumb, something evil this way comes. And goes, after a few thrills and spills, which includes psst, a Cruise in the buff like, in the altogether fully.
