My 'The Mummy Review': Good or Bad?
Hey everybody,
On June 7 I went to see The Mummy (2017) on its opening day with a friend of mine. I'd seen the trailers and was pretty excited about it. I actually did enjoyed the movie a lot: I thought it was scary and entertaining, and I didn't had major issues with it. Later that day I wrote my review on it and, as you can read, I was pretty positive and gave it 4 out of 5 points. I'd expected the world to agree with me. I was however very wrong. A few hours after I published my review I found out critics around the world hated the movie and stated it was: 'the WORST Tom Cruise movie ever'. I never read the full reviews, because I don't want my opinion to be effected by them. But, as you can imagine, reading all those horrible headlines about it, really started to make me second guess myself. I never had this before after seeing a movie, and it still bothers me today. That is the reason I'm writing this blog. How could I've liked a movie that's hated so much by almost everybody else. I don't mean to say that critics are always right about movies, but it weren't just the critics who didn't liked it. I know I'm not the only one who liked it, but I certainly belong to a very small minority. The bad reviews made me really eager to see the movie again, to see if I really like it as much as the first time. I don't know yet if I'm going to do that very soon or wait for the movie to be released on DVD or BluRay. What I do know is that my next viewing of this movie will be very difficult and challenging for me as a movie critic.
To be continued ...
