The special effects of this movie are ok, which is an improvement compared to "The Mummy" and "The Mummy 2". However, a good movie is composed of many factors, among which the writing of the script, the performance of the actors, the guidance of the director, the layout of the scene, the design of the costumes, etc. are the keys to determine whether the movie can resonate with the audience. And the special effects are just the icing on the cake. But if the basic work is not done well, then even the most beautiful special effects will not be able to capture the hearts of the audience.
Although the film is called "The Mummy", in fact, except for the Egyptian princess played by the supporting actress, the others cannot be regarded as mummies. This seems insincere.
Also, there are quite a few bugs in this movie.
1. Egyptian princesses are cruel by nature, which is actually contrary to the education of the royal class. The reason why the Egyptian pharaoh was able to govern the world and enable the people to submit to him was because the pharaoh loved the people of the world more, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives were guaranteed. With the nourishment of the Nile River, the ancient Egyptian civilization with a long history was created. As the eldest son of the pharaoh, he should be taught the experience of governing the country and the state, followed by self-defense measures to protect his dominance from being shaken. Therefore, the ruthlessness of the Egyptian princess in the film is actually contrary to history.
2. After gaining the power of the Egyptian god of death, the Egyptian princess was completely blackened. It can be seen that the blackened Egyptian princess has lost most of her original sanity and became a servant of the god of death. One of them is to find a suitable person in the human world, and let him be possessed by the real god of death through rituals, so that the god of death from the underworld will come to the world to rule the world. But as far as I can see, the god of death uses the inner desire of the Egyptian princess to achieve his purpose of ruling the world. That is to say, even if the Egyptian princess at that time successfully possessed the god of death on an Egyptian man, she would not be able to fulfill her wish. After the god of death comes to the world, it is likely to get rid of the Egyptian princess, and then occupy the world by himself.
3. Judging from the strength of the blackened Egyptian princess, it is not so easy for her to be captured and imprisoned by her own people. The ability to control spiders and control living people by chanting spells alone is enough to let her escape, not to mention her super physical strength and the ability to teleport and control the weather. And the dagger given to her by the god of death, I think since it is something from the underworld, it should not be so easily damaged, but the gems on the dagger in the movie are simply embedded in the groove at the end of the stone dagger, and it also It's a little funny to be able to fall. What's even more funny is that the gem on the dagger can be cracked by a mortal with a hard knock. It can be seen that the director did not pay enough attention in this movie.
4. According to the ability of the blackened Egyptian princess, even in modern times, she can win steadily, but the director and screenwriter have created a "weakness" for her that even ordinary people can see. The biggest weakness of the Egyptian princess is the male protagonist. Although the male protagonist inadvertently touched the seal of the Egyptian princess, this does not mean that the male protagonist should become the "chosen person" of the Egyptian princess. This object must be known first, and let the male protagonist have the power of death. If the Egyptian princess is not so persistent with the male protagonist, I am afraid that there is great hope for the Egyptian princess to rule the world.
5. When the Egyptian princess was caught by the doctor and others and forced to inject mercury into her body, she should have known her situation. After escaping, she should take revenge first, but the first thing she thought of was to find her The chosen person", saying, the curse can only be used once, and it's over if you find another one.
6. I don't know if the gems on the dagger were cracked (in fact, according to the structure of diamonds, they will not be broken), but the male protagonist can still stay awake after being possessed by such a powerful spiritual force as death. This is more of a bug within a bug. It stands to reason that after the male protagonist is possessed, his own spirit will be eroded by the god of death, or directly excreted and returned to the underworld. This is where the director doesn't care.
7. The Egyptian princess used violent means to make the male protagonist submit to herself. This is obviously not clear about the situation, which is also contrary to the royal education. This can only stimulate the male protagonist's resistance again and again, and eventually drift away from his goal.
8. Some characters in the movie are not enough. For example, another personality of the doctor and the reason why he became like this; the heroine used the sun black scripture when beating the doctor's mercenary, but it just flashed and there was no more.
9. The improper handling of many plots in the movie causes the audience to feel inexplicable when watching it. This is like the last few films of "Resident Evil", which is more exciting but lacks logic before and after the plot.
10. The ending of the film is not handled well, and it even feels disgusting. First of all, although the Egyptian princess is an evil force, in fact, she is not enough to make people feel that "she must be destroyed". In fact, she can be influenced by her degree of evil. Even if it is to set off the righteous aura of the male protagonist, it is necessary to make the Egyptian princess more outrageous. Moreover, the sun black scripture appeared in the movie, Can it be used to send the Egyptian princess back to the underworld? Is it possible to use it in such a disgusting way?
To be honest, I prefer the actress's face to the heroine's face, because the heroine's cool temperament and exotic face are more impressive than the heroine's. However, I found out that because of this movie, the supporting actress won the "Worst Supporting Actress Award". I really want to apologize for this beauty. In fact, compared to the acting of the heroine, the acting of the supporting actress is better. Although the character is a little monotonous, she has played the image of an Egyptian princess who was blackened and buried for more than 5,000 years. Besides, the achievement of a good role is determined by many factors. She came from a dance background and is only a newcomer in the entertainment industry. It is normal for her not to be assigned a heroine, and what role she can play is what the screenwriter and director have said. Forget it, first of all, the image of this character is flawed, no matter how good the acting is, it will not help. This is actually commonplace in the entertainment industry. Coupled with the disgusting operation at the end, it ruined the beautiful image of this beauty, which added fuel to the fire.
I think the "Mummy" series is over, there is no way to make anything new. Although it has been seen before that the Aztec civilization and the Mayan civilization will be added, this is far from the unique cultural label of "Mummy" in ancient Egypt. In "The Mummy 3", it was already very outrageous. It really makes people wonder how the "Mummy" could have something to do with the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in China, and even turn Qin Shihuang into a supernatural person who can turn into a monster. Poor Laomouzi "Hero" is so popular abroad.
The above is my opinion on this "The New Mummy", which only represents my personal opinion, and everyone is welcome to discuss it together.
