Thank you. I should not have said “perpetrates” when I meant “perpetuates.” It is a stressful time in my life and I am making all sorts of mistakes I never used to make.

Was it just me or did it look like Russell Crowe put on quite a bit of weight for The Mummy?
The story line was a complete departure from any Mummy movie before it. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it wasn’t exactly a nail biter either.

The script envisioned Nick Morton as an earnest Tom Cruise archetype, who is laughably described as a young man at one point. Big part of the problem. Some people don't know when they're too old to be the star. Although I've never liked Cruise's movies.

I never liked the guy, but seeing how intensely everybody hates him, I’m wondering if I should re-think that.

Same ol’ scifi stories - Mummy, Frankenstein, ... done over & over. Are there no original story writers left in Hollywood? Perhaps if they spent less time advocating for illegals, perverts, & criminals ...
Tom Cruise is a loon best suited to play crazy people. It is becoming increasingly hard to separate the movie character from the fascist, elitist, lunatic actor playing the part.
No way I would pay to see this rerun junk.

...Transvestite comedian Eddie Izzard playing a Nazi Officer.
In real life he'd be in a death camp.
