What went wrong?
>The Book of the Dead cameo (which can also imply that Dark Universe is part of Fraser ummy universe)
>Jekyll was pretty good
The Bad.
>Tom cruise is so out of place and cannot juggle whats written for him
>comedy, horror and the whole plot was all over the place, the movie did not know what it wanted to be
>"DUDE THAT WAS INTENSE LMAO!" and the whole side kick character and the hole ghost shit
>CRUISE FLASHBACKS
>Mummy had no charisma and was forgettable
>Mummy spent 90% of the movie looking like a human, best parts with her was when she was mummified
>protag becomes superman, literally
and the biggest of them all;"WHERES YOUR SENSE OF ADVENTURE??", the movie had none. This is imo the biggest difference between Fraser and Cruise mummy, Fraser had that sense of adventure, that indiana jones vibe, Rick was basically a grunt stuck in mummy shenanigans, he was human, he had emotions and he had something to live for, while Cruise was basically made immortal in the first 10 mins of the film and had 0 motivations not to accept mummy chick

It wasn't fun enough for an adventure film.
It wasn't scary enough for a horror.
Outside of that intense crash scene, the action sucked so it failed as an action film.
The Hyde reveal was kinda shitty, all that build up for him to be... a slightly better fighter than Tom Cruise?
The comedy side-kick was just annoying, there wasn't any humour to him, just him complaining endlessly.
No chemistry between Tom Cruise and the main girl.
The weird way it was trying to make the mummy sympathetic.

Did Tom jump the shark?

With these last two movies, yes. But I thought Jack Reacher 2 was worse than Mummy.

I actually thought he was pretty good all things considered. His comedy mostly delivered.
>"DUDE THAT WAS INTENSE LMAO!" and the whole side kick character and the hole ghost shit
This is one of the cringiest lines ever. He says it and the camera and action just stop and stare at him and Cruise. What the fuck was that?

I liked the first one it was watchable. The second one I agree was total shit.

What went wrong is they made the new chick not a tenth as likable as Evie so the ending is hollow.
