"When one is dealing with the salvation of humanity certain sacrifices must be made."
I'm not ashamed to admit that I've always been a fan of the Mummy movies. From Boris Karloff to Brendan Fraser, something about ancient Egyptian curses makes for a great story. I wasn't expecting the Tom Cruise Mummy to be that great, but I waited a long time to watch it out of respect to the others.
As a disclaimer, this isn't a great movie at all. This is probably my second to least favorite Mummy movie, but I still had a whole lot of fun watching it. The first half is really interesting, but the movie breaks apart from there.
The cast doesn't fit well in the film. I don't mind Tom Cruise, but this just isn't his movie. Russell Crowe is especially out of place, and I don't even know why his character exists.
The comedy is okay for the most part, but again the story becomes predictable as the movie goes on. The flashbacks are my favorite parts, and there are plenty to enjoy.
This is just like the rest of the Mummy movies for me: not a good movie, but a guilty pleasure that I'll watch a few more times.
