Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Courtney B. Vance
My comments: I can't believe that both Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe would do such a silly, forgettable movie. For the money? Except....actually....as silly as it was, I enjoyed it for the most part. I loved the ancient Egyptology, I loved going to Mesopotamia/Iran, I even enjoyed the legend...but why did they have to include zombies? Her minions could've been done so much more cleverly. It also seemed overly long. Great ending. Left it open for many more, and I'm guessing this one will be lucrative enough so there will probably be more coming. Just not what I pictured as a Tom Cruise/Russell Crowe film.
RT/ IMDb Summary: Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy. Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters. Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television's Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV's American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar (R) winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).
