The Mummy (2017) (DVD)

It was more enjoyable than I expected and completely different from the original Brendan Fraser trilogy. It's a typical TC action film which is no bad thing and overall a great standalone movie

Like the movie

I thought I'd chance my arm on this despite hearing the poor reviews from professional critics. Well I'm glad I did.I enjoyed it with its mix of Brendan Frasers Mummy (BFM), American Werewolf in London, league of extraordinary gentlemen and Indiana Jones. A good fast pace, humour dashed in throughout and good effects. It has more than a passing nod to BFM and a certain book from that film makes a brief but funny appearance.Its not a great piece of cinematic history, but it is fun and engaging. I was surprised at the amount of really low rated reviews but then I noticed that very few were verified purchases.I will say that its not a horror, at no point did I jump or have any sense of fear/apprehension, in my mind a 12 rating would suffice.The extras on the DVD are quite good but in some places it turned into a bit of a Tom Cruise love fest but still entertaining and informative.For me its going to be one of those DVDs that on a Saturday night when the TV has nothing on worth watching, you grab a beer, a slice of pizza pop this in and press play to give you a pretty good night, I cant think what more I want from a film than that.

Oh this was brilliant, absolutely loved it.
