The Mummy

Sometimes there is a forced on-screen relationship in a movie, like between Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis in the recent iteration of The Mummy. This action film didn’t necessarily need a romance to further the plot at all, and in fact, many critics feel the film would have been better without it.

Critical reception felt that there wasn’t any real romantic chemistry there, and that lack of bond between the two made for a forced and awkward interaction that fans seemed to dislike.
