Why All The Hate?

I went to see The Mummy on opening day and I wasn't excited. I love the Brendan Fraser incarnation and the trailers for this Dark Universe didn't instil confidence. So maybe my expectations were so low that I enjoyed it. It's your average blockbuster, no better or worse than half the Marvel movies, all the DCEU (arguably *better * than all of them) and sure, it isn't perfect but it definitely isn't as bad as Dracula Untold, itself packing a RT score to 23%, strangely higher than The Mummy's absurdly low 17%. It's better than any of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and even they more than double its score. Have people forgotten how to have fun at the movies?

It started off OK but as it went on it started to become ridiculously absurd. It definitely starts derailing about 30 minutes into the film. My final verdict is 6/10. The Wolfman 2010 was about the only one of these films I enjoyed and that wasn't that good either. I remember Dracula Untold being about as stupid as The Mummy.
