This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't contemplate why films are so bad considering the budget they get. On paper; good actors, potentially good writers, so why is the film so poor? What went wrong?
- Child like brotherly relationship in the face of extreme danger. - Soldier General doesn't seem overly concerned that two of his soldiers, I assume secret ops, are running around illegally stealing things for profit, completely off mission.
- Hot girl (I assume non-military?) - (why is an archaeologist on the front line military?) arrives on scene conviniently asking for a map that Cruise stole after having sex with her. Conviniently she seems to be an expert on the tomb they magically uncovered. How lucky.
- All three of them; two of them grave thieves, seemingly unqualified, and childlike, get sent down in to the tomb, on the archaeologists authority? Since when do military listen to achaeologists...
- Magically they crash land in London, and Cruise is kept alive. Ok; if the gods have the magical powers to do that, then surely she wouldn't be running around in human form, and buried in the ground by humans, in the first place. She gets done over by a couple darts again in modern times.
- Dr Jekyl and Hyde is the mastermind behind the archaeology department running the military..... Couple running (not sexist then is it) away from danger ensues. +1 that Annabelle Wallis can run! They cast her well. As fast as Cruise though? He is short so maybe.
- 'good' Love and Heroism conquers 'evil'. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.
Apparently this is the start of a high budget series. Going to be as bad as the marvel stuff I assume.… Expand

The special effects are from the 99 cent store and the script was written by 9 year olds whose best subject is clearly not English or creative writing. I've witnessed more creativity and effot in Geico commercials. And the director should move on to the fast food industry.
Thanks, Universal and greedy, talent-less producers for wasting my time and money with this complete garbage.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What the hell did I just see?

This has to be the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the experience of going to see it. It gave me some ideas of what to do and not do in a future roleplaying game I will run, but definitely that was a big piece of trash.

First let's get this out of the way. The movie isn't really about "The Mummy". It is a masturbatory story for and about Tom Cruise.

The Mummy character itself was given the shaft in this movie. The actress (Sofia Boutella) and the character (named Ahmanet) is what I find to be the best part of the movie. She is beautiful, powerful and even with her limited material had a great intensity. She was the only good thing in the movie. Yet she had what seemed like the least runtime out of her, the blonde girl, Cruise or Crowe. There was so much potential with her, yet they hacked her part apart so badly she seemed like a bit player in the movie.

Russell Crowe was both good and bad. I like Russell Crowe, and I don't feel bad about it. I liked the witty comments of Mr. Hyde, and I realize Crowe can have a wooden performance, but in this case, the character itself was written poorly, so Crowe didn't have much to work with.

Cruise's love interest (I will refer to her as the nameless blond) was horrible. She was so bad I don't remember her character or the actresses' name. To make it even worse, I don't care to know it. Her character was cardboard, flavorless and absolutely did nothing for me. I realize I can't blame that on the actress, but evidently I don't even care enough to try and get past that.

Tom Cruise is problematic in a lot of ways. I like him in some roles (yes I liked Collateral and the Last Samurai). He is flavorless as well in things like Mission Impossible. Then he is horrible in movies like in this one. I hated his character itself, the presented personality, the cockiness, just about everything he said made me wish I could blow him up with my mind.

The worst part of the movie is the fact they butchered all of the Mummy's (Ahmanet) parts so Cruise could have a larger part. I hear it is because the director was a rookie and Cruise was "helping" the director, but that didn't help anything at all for me.

I also disliked what Cruise's character became, I realize he is the referential "Mummy", and I didn't consider that suave, cool or even a surprise. I was just disappointed that she wasn't the Mummy in future films (except maybe a villain). That was the biggest disappointment for me.

This was the first movie in a new film franchise, the "Dark Universe" that combines all of Universal's monster IPs into a single Marvel/DC type thing. They want to share the universe with Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc.

I think that is an awesome idea. The problem here is they went too far into it for the first movie. They wanted to make references to too many things and instead there was too much explanatory setup and too little story about the Mummy. They would have been better off to have a few easter eggs of the other IPs, and maybe a cameo. Some say Crowe was a cameo, that wasn't a cameo, that was way too large a part to be anything but disasterous.

The good: Sofia Boutella was a great actress, and her character was awesome. I will follow her more.

The bad: Everything else was eye gougingly bad... except Russell Crowe, he was ok.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is bad. Tom Cruise was a lousy choice has he tries to be funny and he isn't. So he's miles below what Brendan Fraser did on the first 2 Mummy movies. The script is beyond stupidity. Why the hell had the crusaders and Jekyll and Hyde to show up in the movie? Do they add anything interesting? And the fact that the whole movie is on Iraq and UK doesn't help either... Did they remember it was a egyptian mummy (there's a slight scene in Egypt at the end, they must have thought it would give a nice touch...)? The supposedly funny supporting character isn't. The hero's love is really bad. The only vaguely saving grace is the mummy itself. Effects are nice but pointless with all this. Just do yourself a favor watch the first 2 movies and have a few laughs. Ignore this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfocused, underdeveloped, and uninspired are the three U's that ruin Universal's fourth (Yes, I said FOURTH) attempt at building a shared universe for their library of monsters. I thought that this would be terrible from the trailers, but I had a soft spot of hope, simply so that Universal could take advantage of the Dark Universe's potential. I was dead wrong.

The Mummy seems more interested at brushing away any sort of character or build-up for action and foreshadowing (of the DU, of course), than telling a good story. The first 20 minutes aren't great, but they do establish the plot, characters, and initial tone (a bit more serious than before, but not afraid of having fun). Then it all goes down as the film moves along. The tone becomes inconsistent, shifting from scary and serious to silly and comedic at inappropriate moments; the moments themselves are cheap, with jump-scare style horror, and lame slapstick. The pacing dashes by way too fast, not giving enough time for anything in the film to settle. The characters, particularly Tom Cruise's, have no arc or development, not even any chemistry between him and Annabelle Wallis to liven the film up. Ahmanet is just as dull as anyone else, having very little charm or depth for us to be frightened or to care of her. A good portion of the film is dedicated to Dr. Jekyll and his research facility, Prodigium, yet the film breezes through those (actually interesting) ideas so fast that here's little reason to have them in the film.

The whole feature is a mess, deciding that being a $125 million promotional piece for the Dark Universe was more important than being a good movie. What an absolute waste of potential.… Expand

I had low expectations but it’s even worse than I imagined. Tom Cruise is in the desert and Tom Cruise is in a tomb and Tom Cruise is on a plane and Tom Cruise is so in your face all the time that I was actually rooting for the Mummy. Too bad the Mummy was as insignificant as the rest of the characters because this movie is all about, you guessed it. TOM CRUISE! On more than one occasion I had to resist the urge to fall asleep but oh don’t worry if you do decide to take a little nap because every single character will take a turn at explaining the plot to you. I could go on a rant about the lazy story, the miscasting and the cringy dialogue but who has the time. On a technical note a monster movie should never be released in 3D, aside from the increase in price 3D movies can lose up to 75% of light and 30% of colour so by all means make a colourful animation in 3D but not a dark and dreary monster movie set in London. And for what? A bird flying straight into your face and a mummified hand reaching out to you. Not worth it. Yet another failed monster movie to add to the ever growing pile of rubbish. Go see anything else instead or better yet watch the 1999 version because you better believe this version makes Brendan Fraser’s Mummy look like an absolute masterpiece. Not a chance am I recommending this.… Expand

Like many movies designed to be part of a "cinematic universe", it just cannot stand on its own because the filmmakers crammed in so many unnecessary plot threads relating to the other upcoming Dark Universe films that it's less about thrills and fun and feels more like a very, very long advertisement for the entire series. And that's not what a film called "The Mummy" should feel like. Thanks to this film I'm once again concerned about the future of blockbuster movies. New cinematic universes are constantly being planned and it's ruining the art form, making it a chore to sit through overextended movies and memorise plot threads. It's all done to keep hype constantly going, which maximises the box office grosses because everyone just wants to see what references to other movies will show up. Well done, Hollywood for once again proving to the world that, apart from the occasional surprise (see Wonder Woman) your filmmakers are no longer interested in making films for everyone - only for themselves, to satisfy their hyperactive imaginations (and wallets). I will definitely be watching more independently produced, underground and low-budget films after this because I can no longer suffer this ongoing cinematic universe trend.… Expand

As an IP launch, it's a complete dud. From the trailer it looks like a big disaster flick with the ancient Egyptian goddess returning to wreak havoc. In reality, it more of an intimate encounter with lots of dialogue (there are basically only 6 characters). Tom Cruise heads the roster. He's trying to create a devil-may-care character, but it's not convincing. Meanwhile, the story is dull, the visual effects aren't unique or innovative and the action sequences are never especially original or exciting. There's nothing to recommend this movie (unless you enjoy seeing Cruise shirtless for a few seconds).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a poor start to a new cinematic universe, and I went with low expectations and was still disappointed. There are some well-shot action sequences, and I do like what Universal is going for here, setting up a world where many different monsters coexist, like Cabin in the Woods, but what we get with this are a bunch of tired PG-13 action cliches. Oh, and I should also mention that the film is not scary at all, so that's a fail. Let's talk about the comic relief. Why is it needed? This is the "Dark Universe", so the tone should be kept serious, but screenwriters seem to always think that audiences want this, so we have to endure bad joke after bad joke. Of course we get the wise-cracking sidekick who seems to be trying too hard to get a laugh, but all characters get some line that's supposed to be funny but comes off as awkward, and it ruins any suspense that a scene may have been building toward. Humor especially ruined the scene where Tom Cruise wakes up in a body bag after coming back from death. What should have been very dramatic was just supposed to be funny because he woke up naked. PG-13 humor at its finest! Now I'd like to address the flashbacks to The Mummy's origin story. The flashbacks were way overused, and they begin probably no more than ten minutes after we see them originally. This is when I felt that the director thought his audience had very short attention spans and had to be constantly reminded of plot elements throughout the film. Now, as for The Mummy herself, she looks great, has a creative design, but she's hardly menacing like she's supposed to be, and her zombified minions are not much better. She doesn't have a world domination plan like Imotep from the 1999 Mummy franchise, she just wants Ethan Hunt, and that's it. Also, ripping off the face-in-the-sandstorm scene from the '99 movie was so unnecessary, and there wasn't even a good reason for it. If Universal is going to continue with a universe based on horror films, they need to put effort into actually scaring us.… Expand

It wants to be a horror movie, but constantly shoehorns in humor and action reminiscent ofSetting out to create their own cinematic universe, Universal Pictures resurrects "The Mummy" as a tonally inconsistent star vehicle for Tom Cruise. It wants to be a horror movie, but constantly shoehorns in humor and action reminiscent of Marvel's superhero films in order to ensure mainstream appeal. It's efforts to set up the larger world of this "Dark Universe" consisting of rebooted versions of Universal's classic monster properties is interesting, but muddled. It is yet unclear how everything is going to come together. That's not the problem. The problem is that after this sorry introduction, I'm not very interested in learning how.

It's hard to care about anything happening onscreen. The story is a bit of a mess, the dialog is incredibly cliché, and the characters are bland stereotypes. The most interesting aspects are the horror ones, which unfortunately are neutered in order to not scare away the general public. I'm sorry, but I thought these were supposed to be monster movies. You can pretty much predict everything that's going to happen so any excitement is automatically drained away. Tome Cruise hams it up while playing his typical smarmy guy role that he's just getting too old for. Everyone else is just kind of there, including Russell Crowe who has a surprisingly minor and practically useless role in the film. Somebody's just there for that cinematic universe money (good luck with that). The sole shinning light in this whole ordeal is Sofia Boutella. While she plays a totally weak villain, she does manage to be drop dead sexy in the process and show some much appreciated skin.

There's a lot going on in this reboot of The Mummy. Almost none of it is any good. It's manages to capture all of the worst qualities of a Tom Cruise movie. It's a flat, stale, and pandering effort that will leave the majority of viewers bored and wanting so much more. A poor way to kick off a cinematic universe. Universal would have honestly just been better off keeping the also vanilla "Dracula Untold" as their first step. While only marginally better, at least that one was likely to have more of a following. Skip this. If this one hasn't already derailed their plans, we're all better off just waiting to see what Universal comes up with next for their Dark Universe. Outside of Sofia Boutella's butt, there's nothing here worth seeing, and you can google that. Things are very "dark" indeed.

what an ugly mess from start to finish. disjointed story focus's on the wrong characters and it seems someone has completely screwed the entire story and plot. The only positive this movie has is great special effects.

This should have been rated R. The sexual scenes are not brief and the dark scenes are disturbing. And the plotline was stupid. At least the previous movies had a mix of humor and action.

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.

The Mummy hardly understands itself. As an action film, the scenes are so haphazard they might as well have been an accident.

As a starting point for the Dark Universe Cinematic Universe, it's an abysmal failure. Not even big stars like Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe could save this forgettable flick.… Expand

Why? What went wrong? Cruise has a high low threshold but this story does not make sense. It's like it has no soul or something. Unengaging and boring waste of money and time.

Considering the previous films before it performed fairly well. There were a lot of segments in this film that were supposed to be humorous when in fact it was the exact opposite. I think I expected more out of the cast along with a better storyline. Overall not a huge fan of the movie and would not recommend it for others to see.… Expand

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 thisSo 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
