I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Cruise

I don’t always agree with film critics. I like what I like. I loved Batman v Superman and quite enjoyed Suicide Squad despite a number of bad reviews, and conversely I was in sync with the majority of critics when it came to Wonder Woman, The Dark Knight, and Logan being awesome.
Now, after the ultra-failed Fantastic Four reboot, comes another time that I agree with critics when it comes to a terrible movie. This time, the offender is a new version of The Mummy. It is not really a reboot or remake of the Brendan Fraser trilogy that I loved, though producers hint it’s within the same universe. The new movie stars Tom Cruise and is set in the modern times; it has none of the charm and sense of wondrous adventure of the Fraser films nor does it have the chilling horror of the original Karloff film.
