3. The Mummy

The Mummy is a borderline terrible movie, no doubt about it. However, it's also one of 2017's most baffling and intriguing misfires, to the extent that its array of cinematic wrongdoing actually makes it oddly watchable.

From Tom Cruise playing ill-advisedly against-type as an arrogant toolbag, to Annabelle Wallis' useless female sidekick, an undead Jake Johnston showing up intermittently, Russell Crowe hamming it up as Jekyll and Hyde, and some excessive set-ups for the planned - but probably now-cancelled - Dark Universe, it's a car crash of weird and bad ideas.

It certainly doesn't bore, though. The Mummy is so fascinatingly bad to observe and full of unintentional comedy that it's still staggering to believe it actually exists. It being announced was weird enough, and the end result is even more so.
