I'm not entirely sure why, but the atmosphere in this trailer really reminds me of the original The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser.

Seriously, this Dwayne Johnson guy just can't seem to escape the jungle, man. It's ridiculous.

🤣🤣

I actually find it entertaining. It gives me those old-school The Mummy vibes... 😁

Honestly, it felt like a cheap knockoff of Pirates of the Caribbean

You could probably watch it once—if you really had to—and then just move on with your life.

I'm with you on this—it feels like a total Pirates of the Caribbean wannabe.

Honestly, I just can't see Dwayne Johnson pulling off a character from the early 1900s.

The Rock just doesn't work in any leading role... he's fine as some sidekick in a random, mindless comedy, I guess.

Honestly? This would’ve killed as an animated flick. But as a live-action movie? It just feels... off. Like, it lacks any sense of reality. The special effects look way too cheesy, and I'm struggling to actually care about the story.

The Rock is a total fraud. Look, he’s a great entertainer and knows how to work a crowd, but honestly? He belongs in straight-to-DVD B-movies—that’s really where his talent level sits. It drives me crazy when you hear that he’s currently one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood and that his movies consistently crush it at the box office. Good grief. He isn't even in the same zip code as Arnold Schwarzenegger or the actual icons who paved the way before him. It’s a complete disgrace to the industry.

If it actually turns out like that, I'm in. You definitely peaked my interest.

So, parts of this movie were actually super charming and fun—honestly, I went in with zero expectations, so I just kind of turned my brain off since there’s a ton of goofy, nonsensical stuff going on. But seriously, why does it have to drag on for nearly two hours? It really should’ve been more like 80 or 90 minutes tops.

I won't get too deep into the weeds here, but man, it’s wild how much they basically ripped off their own ideas... it feels almost identical to Pirates of the Caribbean in some ways.

It's definitely watchable, though! Surprisingly better than I thought it would be—probably the perfect kind of flick to throw on for a family movie night.

A total disaster. It’s a desperate attempt to mash together a Pirate flick with the plot and chemistry you'd find in Mummy. The story is just tedious, and frankly, The Rock and Emily don't bring anything close to what we saw with Frazier and Rachel Weisz.

Honestly, I found the movie pretty dull. The Rock just doesn't work in this role, especially when they try to force that romantic subplot with Emily. Plus, it's a Disney flick, so you know the guy is just there for filler and adds nothing to the story, but hey, that's how it goes.

Just another typical piece of Hollywood trash.
God, I’m such an idiot for wasting my afternoon on this.

And look, from what I hear, he's one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood right now and his movies kill at the box office. God help us. He isn't even in the same league as Arnold or the icons who came before him. It's a disgrace.

Arnold, Sly, and Bruce were absolute gods of cinema back in the 80s and 90s. And they weren't just action guys; they had way more range than Johnson.
The only two roles where The Rock actually impressed me were The Rundown and Fast Five.
In all his recent stuff, he just plays himself, and let's be real, his "himself" persona is incredibly irritating.
RDJ can pull it off because he's charming, though.
Richard Wilson4 said:It would be great if it actually was, now you've got me interested.

Nope, not even close.
steelfox98 said:A miserable movie that fails to blend Pirate vibes and character chemistry with anything resembling Mummy. The plot is boring, and The Rock and Emily don't have anything going on like Frazier and Rachel Weisz did.

You can tell from the movie and the interviews that Emily looks like she's got a gun to her head whenever she's with Dwayne.
Lawrence Richardson13 said:Honestly, a boring movie for me. The Rock doesn't fit the role at all, especially when they try to force a romance with Emily, lol. And of course, it's a Disney movie—the guy is just a total tool who adds nothing to the film, but whatever, he's just a tool.

Yeah, plus all the mandatory suffragette elements, fearless alpha women, dirty male pigs, and clueless young men. Dwayne checks all the required boxes for the modern movie checklist. They screwed up by not having any Asian actors or people with disabilities; huge minus from me, didn't feel inclusive enough. 👎
What is even left of Hollywood these days? I mean, honestly... I’m half expecting the big revelation in the fifth Indiana movie to be that Indiana was actually just a fluid pansexual this whole time.

Just watched it—wasn't really feeling it. It starts off okay, but then it just drags and feels way too over-the-top. Honestly, The Rock and Bluntic don't work together at all, and her brother is just unnecessary—kind of an irritant, actually. I also didn't really get why they even had Paul Giamatti in there; what a waste of his talent for such a tiny cameo 6/10
