This whole story evolves around the Greek God Hades??? I mean seriously?? Has no one else even mentioned that? I can't be the only person that has commented on here that noticed that.... "Not even Hades.... (Blah blah blah)" .... As well as a place that belonged to Hades... Then a book of Hades???
Ummmmmm Egyptians didn't believe in Hades, it was Osiris that was the god of the underworld by their mythology. Well actually, in the Old Kingdom (c. 2575-2130 BCE), before Osiris rose to prominence as the lord of the underworld, Anubis was considered the principal god of the dead. According to the Osiris myth, Anubis embalmed and wrapped the body of the murdered king, becoming the patron god for embalmers. Thus Osiris was elevated. If you can't even do some basic research and get the mythology accurate then why even try??? .... I'm js ....
The acting is stiff and mediocre at best but I can overlook that to an extent. The CGI is bad, but I make it no secret that I abhor bad CGI. The Mummy's costume was ok, better than it would have been had they tried to use CGI for it as well. I was ok with the soundtrack. The movie could have had some real potential...
However, not even being able to get the correct mythology from the right continent is a completely ridiculous novice screw up! Something you would maybe expect from an elementary school play or something... But there is no way these people can expect anyone to take them seriously if they don't even care enough to get that right.
The makeup and costumes are a halloween costume shop rip-off of the 1999 The Mummy but I have seen worse.
Overall do yourself a favor and miss this one.
