In cinematic history both scholars and critics agree there are three movie franchises that clearly seperate themselves from the pack when it comes to movie making excellence. These franchises are Bourne, National Lampoon's Vacation and the Mummy. To get the true experience one must watch these on the big screen as they were meant to be shown. Even in close to 120 degree heat, the mummy was no exception.

The mummy is a franchise that is the oldest. However, it wasn't until Brendan Fraser in 1999 that made the movie the truly epic story that it is today. Brendan Fraser literally rewrote the movie turning a lump of clay into a beautiful sculpture. He really is the Leonardo da Vinci of our time.

When I heard about the next installment of the mummy I was excited. However my excitement soon withered as I heard a second rate actor of tom cruise was going to be the lead instead of Fraser. These were going to be tough shoes for cruise to fill as his only other movie of any kind of significance is Jack Reacher.

Well, I went into the theatre with an open mind and within a few short minutes my fears were to be true. You can not make a mummy movie without Brendan Fraser. How the studio, director and producers thought they could do this is mind boggling. I had to leave mid way though the movie because it was an atrocity and would forever taint the mummy franchise. No disrespect to Cruise, who as I said was simply phenomenon in Jack Reacher, but he's no Brendan Fraser.

I went to the box office and explained my disappointment and was offered credit toward another movie so no financial loss was incurred. My time however can never be replaced. I hope this little warning saves many of you the experience that I wouldn't even want my worst enemies to ever encounter.

It can be too noisy, too warm, too cool and if the movie just plain sucks... you can get refund around half way through the movie. The refund is usually is usually in the form of a pass. They figured they got you for around 10 dollars per person at the snack bar already and will get another 10 dollars. They want you to keep coming back and buying food and drink that is marked up at an astronomical rate.

Real heated that the 2Pac movie apparently blows. They found a guy who looked just like him and blew it. Pitchfork's review seemed to nail it. I'll probably catch it on HBO or something

How's it compare to Statham classics like the transporter or crank? I know he's not in it but it feels like those

I can see the comparison but I think it stands on its own. Between the music overlay, the way it's shot and cut mid scenes, and the love interest.

It felt a tad bit rushed at the end id say, they could of maybe ran it a bit longer but I was okay with it.

Scott Auckerman described it as a movie where the director started out making a Fast & the Furious movie and got bored part of the way through and decided to make a musical.

I've been looking forward to Baby Driver for months and it's an important one for me, so that's good to hear.
