The Mummy
Rated
PG-13
110
minutes
Starring:
Tom Cruise
I’d
say this one was just “alright.” I like
Tom Cruise, but anyone could have played the character he did and there wasn’t
really anything special about him in this one.
He’s in the Egyptian desert looking for treasures when an ancient princess
named Ahmanet is awakened from her crypt that she’d been trapped in for 5,000
years. His character, Nick, spends the
rest of the movie “channeling” her as she sucks the life out of others to gain
strength and try to avenge losing her rightful place as heir to her father’s
throne. She lost that place when the
king fathered a son and she felt completely betrayed. I guess it’s all meant to be a battle of good
vs. evil and the power that each can have over our lives. I just didn’t buy it. The characters could have had more depth,
more actual story to them, better acting, and better writing. This movie had it’s moments, but they were definitely
few and far between!
