^ the reviews certainly aren't helping :-/

^I've noticed that once one reviewer coined the phrase "The Mummy is the worst Tom Cruise movie ever" the phrase has spread to common usage. That's never good.

I saw it today. It was not a good film. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still bad. It didn't know if it wanted to be an action/horror/comedy film and the tone shifts were very jarring. As cheesy as the Brendan Fraser films were, the humor/action/horror bits were fairly consistent. Also the whole Henry Jekyll/Dr Hyde bits felt tacked on just to branch off into more films. They felt like something that didn't really belong in this film. I give it a 2/5. It's watchable and not the worst film ever but its definitely not worth the price of a theater ticket and concessions.

I just think they didn't know what to do with it.

Whew... Do I ever miss Stephen Sommers, Brendan Frasier and PS2 Dwayne Johnson after that one.

Honestly, it seems a bit disingenuous to blame Cruise when the entire project seemed flawed from the get-go.

And Cruise seems to be the only reason the movie has done as well as it has internationally.

^ This.

It is an interesting position that star power is waning in the face of franchise recognition though I would point out World War Z as a counter argument

^I think these kinda things come and go. Pendulum and all that. You could say that in the '90s 'star power' was at a crazy, unsustainable high.
