Mummy Reborn

Right, well I must admit that I had expected something more of a horror movie that actually had a mummy in it. Instead I was served a hot, steaming pile of... Well, you fill in the rest.

I was initially lured in by the movie's cover/poster, and I must say that it definitely looked interesting, and like something that could actually be a worthwhile mummy horror movie. But it turned out that it just wasn't.

This was seriously boring. I managed to endure 30 minutes of the ordeal known as "Mummy Reborn", then I simply had my share of pointless movie for the week. In fact, I know I have no intentions of ever returning to finish this movie, since it had absolutely zero appeal to me.

The acting in the movie was dubious, at best. So don't get your hopes up, there are no Shakespearian acting performances to be had here. And it didn't really help that the storyline and the characters were flaccid, pointless and very unappealing. So the actors and actresses were fighting an uphill battle that was already lost before it even got started.

Sure, there was a mummy in the 30 minutes. But it was so random, and there was no backstory, nothing to indicate why an ancient mummy would show up at a pool and in the middle of middleclass United Kingdom of all places.

"Mummy Reborn" was definitely an ambitious low budget and amateurish project. I am sure that the ones involved had fun, but when you sit down to watch a proper horror movie and end up with "Mummy Reborn", people will be disappointed. As I was.

I am rating "Mummy Reborn" a mere two out of ten stars, solely because it did have some production value to it, and it was clear that the people behind the project were pouring their spirits into it. Just a shame that this was a massive swing and a miss for my liking.

The ocean of 1/10 one line poorly worded reviews for this movie, it's true! Every single word.

I currently stand at around 9600 movies watched according to IMDB so hopefully that will put things into perspective and give my following statement some real weight. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, easily bottom 10.

Now before I continue I want to point out that this is one of those IMDB movies in the middle of a game of tug of war. Looking at the reviews, the wording and the new accounts it's clear there is a hate campaign against the film. Weeks ago when I first came onto the films page there was even a full on troll FAQ slagging the movie off. But on the flipside one in every three ratings is a 10 so clearly it's being shilled into oblivion as well.

So why is it so bad? Wow, where could I start? I actually thought based on everything I read that it couldn't possibly be that bad, it really is.

For a start you often see dishonest movie covers, where for example a girl is in a state of undress where she isn't in the film or a guy has a gun on the cover whereas he never holds one in the entire movie. Mummy Reborn sets a new dishonest standard as everything you see on the cover is a lie, the vehicles, the guns, the priestess and most shockingly the characters. No seriously, who are those people because they're not in the movie.

The film itself is supposed to be a horror, but at random increments it gets intentionally silly/comedic. The balance is insane and you just can't take the movie seriously. But then again the script is so laughable and the acting is so dire you couldn't take it seriously anyway.

I cringed through a large portion of the film, it's not a problem with the cinematography it's just literally everything else. Even the soundtrack, it features Ave Maria and at the most bizarre time.

Fight scenes, sfx, plot, script, acting, this is a flawlessly bad movie and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an unintentional comedy. Even then, be drunk or something to soften the blow.

The Good:

Hahahahaha....no

The Bad:

Certain parts are literal intentional comedy and stupidly out of place

Acting ranges from bad to "How in the blue hell did this person get the role?"

Some logic is offensively stupid

Vile characters, who am I supposed to be rooting for?

Ave Maria, really?

That script

Dishonest cover

The finale

I wondered why all of a sudden there was another Mummy movie around. Then i very quickly realised it was one of those straight-to-DVD, horrible low budget, bad acted movies that should not ever exist.

Ive been a beloved fan of the franchise with the first one being my absolute favourite and is still amongst my childhood. I even gave Tomb of the Dragon Emperor a chance when everyone else gave up on it, mostly because i am a massive fan of Jet Li and all of his films aswell and to have both worlds combined got me quite excited. Still enjoyed the film (Begone, Haters).

But now... We finally have a Mummy Movie which is IMDB rated worse than Tomb for too many plausible reasons. I was going to go into some considerable detail about why. But if you were ever a fan of the original 3, even the trailer will tell you everything you need to know. Theres just way too much wrong with it. When the trailer flashed a review saying "The Mummy Movie we've all been looking for", I nearly threw up in my mouth.

For the love of god please avoid this mess of a movie. If you can even call it that.

Stupid movie !!! it was better if they have donated this money for sick children rather than make this stupid movie

Well let's look on the bright side -- so far there are no fake reviews on IMDB! Every one will tell you ho bad this movie is. The untalented clown who directed this directed one other feature -- and I gave that one star too.

He needs to be put out to pasture. He can't direct.

There is no way to imagine just how bad this movie is. It's unfathomly bad. And early on there is a girl (I think) in a bathtub but I'm not sure, Could be a trans.

This is how bad the movie is. Maybe it was a guy. Who knows?
