Mummy, this exotic thing from its name, has always been popular with Hollywood directors. Movie appearances are always accompanied by a lot of bugs, spiders. Then suck the fresh human body in exchange for his youth and powerful mana. The heroine in this film is the patron saint of spiders and mice, ah, it looks disgusting.
In early mummification works, the protagonist Immorton, an infatuated man, wants to resurrect his wife. On the other hand, it is an insect bite to protect the body, and one pops out of the mouth from time to time, and it is really sour and refreshing.
If you want to find a mummy that can be compared, it must be the Terracotta Warriors in China. It has to be said that the imagination of human beings more than 2,000 years ago is no less than today. Because this can arouse the audience's imagination and taste, and the dead things can be moved to the screen, which in itself is a kind of stimulation, a kind of emotion.
When it comes to Tom Cruise, the action movie Mission: Impossible comes to mind. In this new version of The Mummy, it also follows Tom's consistent style, mobilizing the audience's adrenaline at the beginning, which is different from the funny fight scenes in the Mummy series starring Brandon Fisher. The drama shows a little seriousness and excessive heroism. Perhaps it is influenced by the political atmosphere in the United States in recent years. There are more and more pictures of men saving the world in American blockbusters, which is already a bit cliché. The appearance of the mummy and the setting of the picture obviously cannot satisfy the audience's appetite. It can be said that this film is another action movie of Tom, and the mummy from beginning to end can be easily subdued by humans.
Without the restraint of a third force or something, the drama lacks a little layering and tension, from the beginning and anticipating the final mummy's death. Maybe it's because the previous mummy series films are too deep.
In other words, the struggle between the pros and cons in a movie has been able to prop up a blockbuster movie, but in the eyes of the director, it may not be enough. Dr. Henry, played by Russell Crowe, is awkwardly positioned. Death, if possible, should be interspersed in this film as soon as possible, which can make the connection of the plot smoother.
Finally, I admire the courage of Universal Pictures to be able to continue the classic, but when the chapter starts again, you can study and redesign this old routine. After all, the audience pays to watch, and this show is a mummy. grade.
