Mummy movie with untapped potential
When I saw the low rating I thought it couldn’t be that bad - sadly it was. The storyline seemed interesting. Kind of like “The Mummy” in a Chinese version and a little different backstory. As a story there wasn’t anything wrong but the quality of the movie was just too bad. Especially the end scene makes no sense when this is supposed to be a love across time.Character wise there were these mainly three people. A FL who back in ancient time was in love with an ancestor of ML. Then we have 2ML who was the son of a man who forced FL and ML to separate so he could marry FL himself. Due to a curse, FL kills 2ML by mistake and is buried in a tomb with 2ML. They come back to life 2.000 years later and FL meets ML.
Acting wise this is really not top shelf and since the actors are rather experienced it must be the directing that causes the movie to look like it’s low budget (maybe it is?). What a pity.
Anyway, if you like a mummy-movie that is not so scary - and don’t mind the low quality - this is an ok watch but nothing more.
