While it does take on the franchise burden in hefty doses, the film remains a fun, and funny, B-movie throughout. Read full review

It’s all patently ridiculous - and surprisingly watchable. Read full review

As a commentary on the modern blockbuster, the movie’s fascinating. But as an actual movie, it’s fairly disheartening. Read full review

Weirdly out of place here, Cruise brings little daring and less charm to the film, though to be fair to the actor, his character's a stiff. Read full review

And the living are pretty lifeless themselves. As led by the often wooden Tom Cruise playing the U.S. soldier who inadvertently wakes the dead, and directed by an indecisive Alex Kurtzman, the cast is offered some passable action sequences but struggles with weak dialogue and uneven comedy.

The Mummy turns out to be a drab, nonsensical affair that squanders its potential for humor, atmosphere and sweep. Read full review

A movie that goes beyond defying comprehension to being truly incomprehensible. Read full review

I honestly would take this over the 99 Mummy though i enjoy that film quite a bit, this film has way more going for it with its story and visuals. Just goes to show that critics are idiotic and the most of the simpleton masses will follow the hate because they have.… Expand

If you want action, you are going to get your full summer quota. You know the drill. The story is completely implausible and the characters are practically super heroes.

The story is completely implausible and the characters are practically super heroes. Tom Cruise has an underwater sequence that had me gasping for air. His sidekick Jake Johnson (I know him from "Jurassic World". He is the geeky guy in the control room with all the toy dinosaurs lined up on his desk. He is also a regular on "New Girl"). But, he is the funny one in the bunch. And that is one thing I liked about the movie. There are some good laughs. Russell Crowe makes an appearance as a mad scientist, Dr. Henry Jekyll. The ladies are interesting. Annabelle Wallis plays Jenny, a young archaeologist looking for a dagger and stone that have magic powers. And then there is the mummy! Sofia Boutella plays Ahmenet, the crazy, bloodthirsty, power mad mummy returned to life. I have never seen her before. Although Boutella will be seen in "Atomic Blonde" when it comes out. In general, thumbs were up. It is fun and entertaining and should keep your interest. We all thought it felt long, but in reality, it is less than two hours. And, this is NOT a movie for young children! This movie is scary! There were lots of children in the audience and I am betting there were quite a few who nad nightmares about being chased by the undead. But, if mummy movies are your thing, buy your popcorn and enjoy!… Expand

Way better than The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor but with some terrible effects.

The Mummy is a disaster of a movie, with no real tone, consistent story or even great acting. The biggest mistake the filmmakers made was not letting the movie be stand alone but instead using it as a starting vehicle for a franchise.

I knew when Hollywood shooed out Brendan Fraser it was going to get bad. Fraser was fun and entertaining and built for a concept like this. He was incredible. Tom Cruise is my dude, but he wasn't made for this movie.

So glad metacritic allows ratings of "0" - no more would be adequate for this steaming pile of abused celluloid.

Bad performances of not so great actors, a ridiculously implausible story and terrible slapstick throughout the scenes made this a displeasure to watch. If you like movies,So glad metacritic allows ratings of "0" - no more would be adequate for this steaming pile of abused celluloid.

If you like movies, possess intelligence and or loved the original Mummy for it's wit and pacing, stay away. If it's too late, switch off the movie or attempt to drown the brain cells loaded with the putrid memories of it in something high proof.

Ugh.… Expand
