So, has anybody seen the new The Mummy with Tom Cruise? I've seen the reviews are...not favorable. But I'd like to hear from you guys, if possible, whether it's still fun, or just painfully atrocious. We're considering seeing it on Saturday for my traditional birthday movie, so I need to know whether I'll enjoy it even in its badness or we should just steer clear.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All I've heard is it's the worst Tom Cruise movie ever made.

someone I follow online said they enjoyed it and it was good old-fashioned monster movie with good effects and music. Accuracy in any way shape or form? no.

Having seen Losin' It, I'm now abandoning any thought of paying money to see this thing.

He actually gives a good performance in Interview with the Vampire. I'm not just saying that because I'm a sad Anne Rice fangirl.

Everyone I know who is a fan of the horror genre said it was kinda boring, way too "action movie" in tone, and there wasn't enough of the Mummy. I know the reviews I've read haven't been good.

Just saw Baby Driver. Good, not great. And, like so many movies these days, about 15 minutes too long. Killer soundtrack.

I've read a few reviews of The Mummy, and they'e all said, essentially, to watch the YouTube video of the trailer for the current movie where they messed up the audio for yuks and to get a sense of the aesthetic. Then go buy a DVD of the 1999 Mummy and watch that.
