THE MUMMY
DIRECTOR: Alex Kurtzman CAST: Tom Cruise, 3oka Boutella Taking a break from alternating between playing Jack Reacher and Ethan Hunt, Tom Cruise stars as Nick Morton, a carbon copy of the latter two action heroes. He stumbles upon the tombal prison of Egyptian princess Ahmanet and instead of leaving her alone, Nick accidentally unleashes this ‘ being of unimaginable powers’. If you’re in the mood to watch this CGI-laden vanity project and mediocre attempt at rebooting a long-dead franchise, then your name is probably Tom Cruise. While The Mummy is a reboot, it’s also the first in a new series of movies called the Universal Monsters shared universe: the plan being we’ll also eventually get remakes of classic movies such as The Wolf Man.
