I'm sure Tom took one look — just one look — at that movie and knew with total certainty that he was the one, the only one, the only person in the universe, who could save that production, who could make that movie into a success.

'Edge of Tomorrow' was a good Sci-Fi movie that died at the box office because it had Tom Cruise.

Anyone who declines to go see this picture can expect to hear from David Miscavage’s lawyers.

Univseral went WAY too old with the Dark Universe demos. Brendon Frasier was a young man when this movie was a hit...Johnny Deep as the Invisible Man and Javier Bardem and Son of Frankenstein aint gonna go it!
Angelina Jolie as the Bride of Fankenstien I like

The guy is a great filmmaker and knows his craft. He will walk onto a set and tell the director what to do, say thats not the right lens...
As a small-time producer and director I had way too much respect for my DPs to tell them what lens to use.
An actor telling the DP or telling me what to tell the DP what lens to use is - well - unthinkable.

The reviewers are mostly calling this movie complete garbage and no one should be surprised because after all, it’s a Tom Cruise movie.

That's why I've always admired Ron Howard. He went from a big-time child star on the Andy Griffith Show to a big time actor in Happy Days to a very competent movie director. Howard will be remembered as one of the few people in Hollywood that became successful at every level.

Cruise always has massive amounts of control, most of his movies are hits. The real problem is the same as with the Ghostbusters remake. They got so addicted to building this shared universe they forgot what movie they were making and spent way too much. a $31 million opening weekend should not be disappointing, unless you spent $125 million making it. If they’d have shaved $50 million off that budget it would be on its way to domestic profitability and global smash hit.

I watched the trailer for this movie. I think I'll pass on it, and stay with Boris Karloff's 1932 classic.

I don’t go to the movies any more. Whatever may be to my tastes will get to me sooner or later.
Though basically, eff Hollywood.

Was it just me or did it look like Russell Crowe put on quite a bit of weight for The Mummy?
The story line was a complete departure from any Mummy movie before it. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it wasn’t exactly a nail biter either.

The script envisioned Nick Morton as an earnest Tom Cruise archetype, who is laughably described as a young man at one point. Big part of the problem. Some people don't know when they're too old to be the star. Although I've never liked Cruise's movies.

I never liked the guy, but seeing how intensely everybody hates him, I’m wondering if I should re-think that.

Same ol’ scifi stories - Mummy, Frankenstein, ... done over & over. Are there no original story writers left in Hollywood? Perhaps if they spent less time advocating for illegals, perverts, & criminals ...
Tom Cruise is a loon best suited to play crazy people. It is becoming increasingly hard to separate the movie character from the fascist, elitist, lunatic actor playing the part.
No way I would pay to see this rerun junk.
