Overall I thought The Mummy was an entertaining film. It seemed to have the right amount of action, jump scares, and humor. My 14 and 16-year-old kids liked it more than I did.

It's a OK enough summer popcorn flick with plenty of explosions, actions, and Tom Cruise running. It might come as cheesy at some points, and the plot's somewhat messy, but this is what I was expecting, a dumb, fun, loud, cheesy movie. If you walk in to the cinema expecting more than that, you'll walk out being furious to the makers of this movie. Overall, I enjoyed this movie. On the other hand, the advertising clearly took a wrong direction by selling it as a franchise-starter. Studios need realize and wake up that you can't just make a movie to start a Marvel-ish dynasty. If they want to start a universe, just let it flow, don't rush it! DCEU fell to that pit with its earlier movies (Thanks to Wonder-Woman, people might actually start to get interested in that universe). Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them also barely dodged the bullet (Thankfully, the fan base of the Wizarding World was big enough already). And we all know what happened to Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man franchise....… Expand

+ Loved the horror-action aspect of the movie
+ Impressed with Sofia Boutella (although she doesn't had much screen time as Cruise though being the titular character)
+ Found interest with the world of dark universe. Can't wait for the next project.
+ Loved Russell Crowe as Jekyll & Hyde

- Tom Cruise's performance was underwhelming
- Sometimes they talked more than showing things (It can become boring sometimes)
- Final battle was not overwhelming.

They need to change the director in the sequel. Despite some flaws I think Dark Universe will be good. At least it didn't force some agenda (like Wonder Woman).… Expand

Perhaps I don't understand the backstory that true movie buffs and geeks live by; however, I enjoyed the movie very much. One prior reviewer said it was burdened with too much exposition but I feel just the opposite. They explained enough to understand the storyline but the movie was full of action. Also, I've always liked Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe performances and they didn't disappoint in this movie either. I found the movie to be fast paced and exciting/suspenseful throughout the whole thing but not annoyingly so like the neverending action sequences in "Man of Steel" that felt like an hour of Superman and Zod smashing each other through buildings. (I agree with a prior reviewer that liked "The Mummy" better than any of the DC offerings so far.) I liked the supporting cast in "The Mummy" and felt they all had good chemistry (did not feel the same about Henry Cavill and Amy Adams who seemed more like brother and sister). I thought Universal set-up the Dark Universe adequately but again, I'm a nube to any backstory here. I enjoyed it very much and would watch it again. I can't say that for any of the DC movies, including "Wonder Woman" (although in fairness I was very tired when I watched it). And keep in mind, the movie is not "Schindler's List". It's not meant to challenge or educate. It's pure escapist entertainment. So, if you want an action movie that resurrects the monster movies of old with a great cast, go see "The Mummy" regardless of what anyone else says.… Expand

If you're able to remove politics from the discussion then it is about on par with Wonder Woman in terms of overall quality. That is the problem, people cannot remove politics from their reviews and they don't want this film to compete at the box office with Wonder Woman because 'feminism.' That small minority of disingenuous reviewers are muddying the waters. I have personally watched both films at the cinema and they're both above average but neither is 'great', 'fantastic', or 'excellent' as some would describe them. The Mummy is worth a watch if you're a fan of a reliable Tom Cruise performance, or interesting fantasy elements, or satisfying action, or a predictable yet still interesting story.… Expand

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

Not the flashy fake-fighting you see in most movies. No romanticism: No "Look! It's a Mummy!"--Que everything that gives off an Egyptian vibe--and it's dark. Very dark. Expect that. It's a monster movie. The main flaw was bad timing: too soon after the Mummy franchise. I watched it after seeing the review results the last few days. It didn't suck, guys. I do hope they take it up a couple of notches for the next Dark Universe movies. This sounds super cool.… Expand

It isThe action scene that occurs inside a plummeting plane was among the best action scenes in the history of film. It is quite obvious they actually filmed it - many takes - in a plummeting aircraft produce the effects of zero gravity. It is insane to watch.

Tom Cruise gives his all and then some as usual in his films and the ancient mummy woman does a fantastic job.

The weakness of this film is that there are no real surprises or twists until the end, and that twist at the end is not something an audience wants to see. Our action heroes may be beaten, have their limbs broken, and can even be killed in movies, but audiences never want to see their heroes lose control of who they are. That was the huge error in the second Indiana Jones movie, and it was an error at the end of this movie even though Tom Cruise was able to be heroic when required.

That said, this film is way way better than most reviews give it credit for. Since it is now rentable, rent it. It's a fun film with intense action sequences.… Expand
