The unimpressive big budget rebooting of The Mummy – which is set to kick off a “Dark Universe” franchise that brings together some of the silver screen’s most iconic movie monsters – is one of the laziest summer blockbusters in recent memory.
Like a scene from a Monty Python sketch, this week’s top film seems to beg the line: “Bring out your dead.” The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor not only has a 2000 year old guy coming back to life, but on top of that, the film is also getting the kind of reviews that are fit for the crypt. Reviews for the other big new arrival this week, Swing Vote, suggests it’s oddly a not-bad alternative, but over all of the reviews, the documentary American Teen may actually be your best bet.
