The movie was average at best. Don’t know how that’s Tom’s fault. :skip:
Tom Cruise only cares about a project when he's producing and starring in it.

That wasn't the case with The Mummy. It was just stat padding Tom, picking up a movie role, wanting to keep those grossing numbers up.

It wasn't a passion project, so we got an unmotivated Tom Cruise.

The movie was the problem, aka the script wasn’t good enough to start a Universe. Tom wasn’t the problem. :gucci:

If Tom Cruise wanted a script that was up to snuff he could have made that happen!! Easily!!

He didn't!! Which only leads me to believe he didn't care about the movie from jump!!

Shortly after the film opened, Variety reported that Cruise had excessive control over the film and firm control of nearly every aspect of production and post-production, including re-writing the script and editing to his specifications, telling Kurtzman how to direct on set, and enlarging his role while downplaying Boutella's.

If this is true then The Mummy is 1000% Tom Cruise's fault. He ruined a whole universe.

And that’s the studios damn fault for allowing an actor to affect their future. :mjlol:

They wanted a Universe and let an actor get In the way of building something. :dead:

you guys are blaming tom cruise for the dark universe?
no way
the dark universe was a problem of overplanning.
they had way too many things planned at once and were using the mummy as a springboard for all the other projects instead of focusing on making a good film.
He was rewriting a script that was worse than what we got
the movie wasn't THAT bad but it had a lot of bad moments

There are no reports that say that where's your source? Here's mine. Inside ‘The Mummy’s’ Troubles: Tom Cruise Had Excessive Control (EXCLUSIVE)

However well-intentioned he may have been it sounds like the finished product is on him. The finished product had everything your standard Tom Cruise action flick has, just with a Mummy. It stunk.

He fukked the movie up. Admit it, place the L in the appropriate column and let's move on.
