Tom Cruise plays the lead character, a rogueThe 2017 reboot of The Mummy franchise, directed by Alex Kurtzman, is a disappointment. The film is focused on setting up an extended universe, but fails to create a world worth spending time in. Tom Cruise plays the lead character, a rogue named Nick Morton, who along with his friend, discovers the tomb of an ancient Egyptian princess who was mummified alive. The plot follows Nick's journey as he is cursed by the princess and must stop her from bringing an ancient god into the mortal world. The film is filled with exposition and dull characters. The performance of Russell Crowe as Dr [spoiler] , the leader of a monster-busting secret organization, is particularly painful to watch. The Mummy is not only a bad film, but it is also not entertainingly bad.

Normally, I do not care for Kurtzman as he wrote some of the most underwhelming to flat terrible modern blockbusters including films like "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", "Star Trek: Into Darkness", and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". However, "The Mummy" in my opinion is much better than all those movies though that's not saying much. Tom Cruise is definitely in his element here, he wears all the action and stunts like a perfect fit glove and carries much of the script with just his charisma. The new "Mummy" played by Sofia Boutella from "kingsman" and "Star Trek: Beyond" is both sexy and scary, more so on the former but she can chew scenery more so compared to Arnold Vosloo's Imhotep and Jet Li's Dragon Emperor from the Brendan Fraser led films. Now for those "Critic" reviews, a 16% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 34 Meta Score... give me a break the movie isn't THAT bad, yeah i'm a little bias cause I enjoyed it more so than many others but as a franchise starter it is most definitely better than last years fumbled "Ghostbusters" reboot (73% on RT), David Ayer's botched DCEU effort "Suicide Squad" (25%), and it is leagues above Ridley Scott's franchise destroying "Alien: Covenant" (71%). The reviews for "The Mummy" are a gross over reaction by modern "critics" who are either much to harsh on would be franchise starting blockbusters (Ex. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword) or far too forgiving on Nostalgia driven revamps (Ex. Jurassic World). Thankfully, This new "Mummy" does not rely on the past movies to set it up as it seeks out it's own cinematic world via the "Dark Universe". Yeah I know that "Ghostbusters" set up it's "Ghost Corp" before crashing and burning, but I feel that as a starting point, this world still has some interesting layers to unwrap.… Expand

I did not dislike the mummy's performance but I think sticking to the old version would have been better for the fear factor. I was a bit disappointed in that regard.
Cons: Basically everything else. I never was a big fan of Tom Cruise but in recent years he has become unwatchable with his aggressive-confident attitude. Especially in this movie, it kills all the jokes and lightheartedness. Totally miscast. He'll never be an Indiana Jones.
So the movie is not funny, it's not frightening, it's just Tom Cruise cruising around and every chick in the movie is just chasing that old man. The mummy's interest in him especially makes no sense considering what happens later. Screw logic! It's just a cash-grab movie anyway. And wth is Jekyll/Hide doing in this movie? Urgh! Just awful. I see a dark future ahead for the Universal Dark Universe.… Expand

This recent retelling of the story is about a soldier turned treasure hunter played by Tome Crusie, who accidentally awakens a ancient mummy played by Sofia Boutella. This film wants so much to be like the marvel films, with it trying to set up hole universe in a single movie. But that just doesn't work, you need take time to set up an entire world of myths and monsters not try to clam it in to one movie. The story on it's own would have been perfectly fine if it had the time necessary to grow. Yet the film makers seem to want to go out of their way to make the film feel rushed. Another problem is Tome Cruise as the lead. Now I have never been a Tom Cruise fan, but in this film in particular he just comes off as one dimensional and boring.The only thing that saves this film from being a complete disaster is the acting of Sofia Boutella she plays the titular role of the evil mummy brought back to life and she plays it beautifully, this is only the third film I've seen her in and I'm quickly becoming a fan of hers. In conclusion even though I like Sofia Boutella in this film and doesn't change the fact that film is still just a big mess.… 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

"The Mummy" is the remake we really didn't need. A messy plot tries to cram too much material in while attempting to create a foundation of a film universe, generic action sequences spark no interest and sub-par acting ruins the rest.

On se demande si ce n'est pas une pure comédie assez idiote et décousue d'ailleurs... c'est écrit avec les pieds et mélangé maladroitement (et n'importe comment) avec de l'héroïsme (une maladie causée par la vanité) et une petite morale sur le bien et le mal sortie d'un Kinder Surprise. Tout ça pour donner le beau rôle à ce bellâtre usé et fatigué, cette grande gueule qui n'en finit plus de rouler des mécaniques, le petit Tommy et ses talonnettes.

La méchante momie est jouée tant mal que bien par notre Boutella nationale : il faut dire qu'avec sa vilaine tronche, elle a la sale gueule de l'emploi. C'est pour ça qu'à la Boutella, je préfère le Nutella en fait. Sinon à part ça, Tom s'est amouraché d'une blondasse qui n'a pas inventé l'eau chaude, juste un faire-valoir pour Tommy le héros !

Cela dit, c'est filmé à peu près correctement et on ne s'ennuie pas... et puis ce bon vieux Russell montre encore les crocs dans un (petit) rôle assez drolatique... C'est bien pour ça que j'irais jusqu'à 2 dans mon infinie mansuétude.… Expand

The Mummy: A gender-swapped Lara Croft(Tom Cruise)finds a cursed mummy (An excellent Sofia Boutella) while looting treasures in Iraq one step ahead of Isis (The terrorist army not the Egyptian Goddess). Cruise and his mandatory love interestThe Mummy: A gender-swapped Lara Croft(Tom Cruise)finds a cursed mummy (An excellent Sofia Boutella) while looting treasures in Iraq one step ahead of Isis (The terrorist army not the Egyptian Goddess). Cruise and his mandatory love interest (Annabelle Wallis) fly the Mummy back to London. The mummy escapes and Cruise finds himself recruited by a shadowy organization led by Russel Crowe to get the Mummy back before the world ends or something.

The Good: The Mummy has some pretty good scenes all conveniently located for your viewing pleasure in the first forty minutes or so of the movie. The first forty minutes has a good breezy pace, Cruise’s character seems fun and well thought out, the action scenes are great and the mummy protagonist is a sexy and dangerous foil. One can seriously start to wonder why this fun movie got so much critical flack?

The Bad: And then Russell Crowe shows up. Dr. Jekyll would argue that Mr. Crowe does a fine job but is let down by a poor script and characterization. Mr. Hyde would say Russell is a large ham who makes a poorly thought out character even worse. While I agree with Hyde I don’t think anything could have saved this character. It is simply bad because it exists in this story.

Crowe scenery chewing isn’t the only thespian stumble. We also have Annabelle Wallis as the least charismatic Cruise love interest since… well maybe ever. There is furniture in this movie I am more invested in than this character. If a bad guy ties her to a table we’re more worried that no one is using a coaster.

For a movie called The Mummy, the titular character doesn’t seem to get a lot to do after they settle in London. Some (including the studio) blame Cruise for hogging the limelight but in reality, it is the world building with Prodigium, which is supposed to be the Scooby gang that links all the Dark Universe movies together, that sucks up all the running time and all the films energy. (The Mummy was supposed to be the first of a series of Dark Universe films that are threatening us with, among other things, Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man. Fortunately, the whole enterprise seems to be on life support so expect another reboot soon.)

There are other fails. The Crowe’s Jekyll/Hyde does that thing where Jekyll speaks with an upper-class accent so we know he is good while Hyde pours on a cartoonish lower-class Cockney accent, that would make Dick Van Dyke blush, to let us know he is now evil. (If one thinks about it it really should be the opposite). This seems to be taken from the Dr. Jekyll musical of all things and Crowe does seem to threaten to sing Les Mis’ Stars at any monument.

The movie um… finds inspiration from other films as well, everything from The League of Extraordinary Gentleman (See Prodidium above) to An American Werewolf in London where the film out and out copies entire scenes.

In Conclusion: It is rare to see a movie, let alone the supposed start of an entire Universe filled with tent poles, fly off the rails so badly. Like Superman Vs Batman it seemed more concerned letting us know about upcoming projects and setting up “the Universe” than just being a good movie so we would see another. Raider’s of the Lost Ark did not try to create a franchise with its film. It just was a very good movie that made people want more.

They had a great villain, a solid action hero and a decent budget. They easily could have made a fine Mummy film. And if it was successful they could have followed it up with some mediocre sequels that take place in China and have a new actress playing the wife in the third one. Heck, you could even do a spin-off series with horrible CGI Scorpion Man hybrid that eventually goes straight to video. The blueprint was there you just had to follow it.… Expand

Sadly it seems to be a phenomenon frequently seen on remakes or franchiseMy thoughts about The Mummy from 2017 are quite negative. As I really like the series and the first Mummy movies that appeared where very okay, this one failed for me. Sadly it seems to be a phenomenon frequently seen on remakes or franchise additions and in the case of the Mummy I should honestly have expected. Even though the metascore was already low during release, I got fooled by the trailer promising an exciting and interesting, slightly scary story as the first movie had, it didn't take long to realise that one Mummy would fail getting up to that. The big complaint about that movie that I have is simply that it is trying to be to much things at the same time. There are a lot of elements in it which are interesting for the moment they appear but in the end unimportant for the story at all. It seems to be so that the movie was cut to fit the bright audience interests, but that would totally not have been neccessarry. Even though the setting and plot seem very great at first, they are predictable, though, but good, in my opinion they have been used the wrong way, as the plot becomes worse and worse as the movie progresses solely because they tried to add more and more content, characters and backstory. If this movie would have stayed at the principles of simplism and been orientated more on the original series and not on other movies, it could have been a way more enjoyable work overall. As it currently is, it is too much of it all. But that does not mean that The Mummy is a bad movie, it's just not good and that's why my scores seems reasonable.… 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

With Cruise at the forefront, it is essentially M:I meets Indiana Jones, mixed in with a little bit of the original. It is entertaining and will probably earn loads of money in the overseas market, but it will probably bomb in the US market, considering that they want a more 'hearty meal' in their viewing habits (hence, its lousy ratings). As it is, The Mummy is designed to thrill you a bit, scare you a bit and let you off the roller coaster ride mildly entertained. But it's equivalent of of eating loads of popcorn, and still wanting a full meal one hour afterwards.… Expand

If you see the history, the reboots usually fails. It has to be at least half a century old to reboot like 'King Kong'. So the technology advantage would play a major role. It was less than the 20 years, the last 'The Mummy' film had released and pretty impressed everybody with modern visual effects. Even today's young generation getting used to that when it was played on the television. Comparing this to that, there's nothing much other than more perfection in graphics and additional digital 3D. In my opinion, they should have waited another decade.

It was exactly reversed version of the 1999 film. I mean the character designs. Like female mummy coming to life and targeting a man for the ultimate power possession. Two US army men in Iraq found a hidden tomb like structure from the Egyptian era beneath the sand. The recovered ancient coffin shipped to England, but the plane crash down. Since then, an unknown force begins to hunt down one of that two army men. Fighting against it, followed by how the story ends comes in the later parts.

When I first heard about the reboot, I said oh no! Hearing about Tom Cruise's involvement, it became double no! Actually, he was good in the film, but the film was unnecessary at this generation. Even though it did good at the box office, it was considered a decent run. But the studio has a bigger plan, that you would know if you watch the film, that they had already developed a plot for at least two more films with enough characters to carry on that long. If needed, it would add more in the latter. I feel that's a bad idea right now. Watching it one time is not bad, but no special at all.

I was originally going to catch it in the theaters, but after the dismal reviews I decided to wait for it to come out on DVD.

This was not a terrible movie, but it probably could have been a little bit better with less Tom Cruise, his blonde sidekick girlfriend and the weirdness of the Jekyll/Hyde character portrayed by Russell Crowe. The Brendan Frazier vehicle from 20 years ago is far superior and possibly the best version yet.… Expand

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.

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

In fact - I thought the inclusion of Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekell gave it some sort of weird "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" re-boot vibe - which really isn't a compliment. Since Crowe is getting his own Hyde/Jekell movie - they should have saved that whole sideshow for his movie....it is simply a distraction here. Also - I didn't dig the ending. It brings in the bizarre idea that Cruise may be popping up in "Invisible Man" or "Bride of Frankenstein" or other - totally inappropriate cameo moments in totally unrelated movies.....it all just got fairly bizarre and silly by the end (although the idea of that actually happening is probably the scariest thing in the Dark Universe - lol) .… Expand

Here, The Mummy is not the monstrous thing

The surprises, keeping re-encounter with one of the classic wonders par excellence, owned by Universal Pictures, are constricted. Among this narrow mosaic of satisfactions is what would be aHere, The Mummy is not the monstrous thing

The surprises, keeping re-encounter with one of the classic wonders par excellence, owned by Universal Pictures, are constricted. Among this narrow mosaic of satisfactions is what would be a comforting and palpitating beginning.Trying to emulate the retributive equation created by Marvel Studios with its cosmos of cinematic superheroes, Universal plans to outline its universe by reusing the characters that must be untouchable because of their one-of-a-kind legacy in cinema history, however, Hollywood's rejection of creativity, a true eyesore deserving its corresponding movie, has begun to pick on, without embarrassment and with enough paraphernalia, the monsters in order to satisfy the demands of the Millennials about knowing those dark beings. Classics of yesteryear such as "Bride of Frankenstein", "Creature from the Black Lagoon" or "The Invisible Man" are going to resurrect in the upcoming years with the help of Johnny Depp, Julian Bardem and undeniably a compendium of actors and actresses that are currently shining in the mecca of American cinema. "Dracula Untold", starring Luke Evans, was kicked off but it was harshly criticized for the loss of focus portraying the "untold" story of this iconic and lethal vampire. Due to this economic and reception flop, the studio didn't give up and started over with a clean slate, omitting such box office bomb, supposedly, to reorganize the pretensions and start on the right foot this mega-project, but what would be the story that would really redeem the master Dracula? "The Mummy".

Mythology and/or legends encompass myriad opportunities and Hollywood sharp brains have been able to take advantage of these to raise the first dark universe of history. After a round of flowers and applause by films with a large audience response and a revival led by Hammer Films in the 50s, North American cinematic mecca Universal Pictures inaugurates its corresponding movie voyage with Dr. Henry Jekyll, who's the director and creator of the surreptitious organization "Prodigium", whose mission is to recognize, contain, examine and destroy any evil entity stepping on the ground. The first to realize her not so triumphant entry is Princess Ahmanet, interpreted by Boutella.

After watching the film, one can conclude that the biggest flaw, both independent movie and inaugural work, is the feeble structuring in plot terms, because, although the introduction of the antagonist and the retrospective scenes independent Nick firmly consolidate the first act, it's difficult to feel that constant and seductive ecstatic that encompassing the Mummy, verbi gratia, in Brendan Fraser's 1998 film. Such a narrative failure originates consequents that keep on to harm the audiovisual tale; the first one comes in the name of the selfsame main actor, who had active participation in the conception of the script, for, in the end, provoke prominent interventions in the footage that should come from the true star, giving prominence to a character who will surely have weight in future installments, thus giving cause to the second big mistake: not deciding what specific genre(s) and tone(s) for the universe due to the hasty narrative ending. Is it a horror or comedy film, an initiation/Nick Morton or a mummy film, an adventure or suspense one? The film doesn't cease in production of subliminal messages for the audience on the occasion of informing of the large flow of monsters that are coming, introducing with little fluency references and signs of upcoming films. The third blemish comes from the sketch of characters, another subject in which the team of writers doesn't come out well.

The Mummy's female version flaunts different presentations ranging from an inhuman entity that drags to the aphrodisiac and intimidating look that spends most of the time chained or stealing people's lives by lip contact. The places in which the tale develops tend opacity, a complex of special effects that are supported in a palette of pessimistic colors and tones in terms of transmitting, without any success, dread, and insecurity the work must produce. As for technical aspects, they stand out for the first-rate execution of the best action sequence in the film: The plane crash, although it doesn't propose anything deeply novel in the action movie matter, managed to stir within me, thanks to furious-paced timing, an unexplained anxiety for the future of the characters, a well- deserved applause for this achievement both technical and artistic.

"The Mummy" (2017) by Alex Kurtzman is a frustrating setback and inaugural disruption in the optimistic plans of Universal. A work that could not show its possibilities because of an unsatisfactory attempt to get what Marvel's equation has built, and even DC's one. Ideas straying in the disorder of pretensions. Apparently, just as Disney, Universal must mummified already conceived plans to awaken new aces under the sleeve quickly.… Expand

It's a completely serviceable action movie. It's nothing more. I think some people were expecting too much, having been spoilt with other action movies with depth ( and plot ), like Wonder Woman. I was entertained for the duration.

How does a movie with great special FX fail in the middle of the summer blockbuster season?

The real-life arrogance and egotism shines through ridiculously and viewers have tired of it.

I am more surprised from the high scores some people rate this movie, than from the actualy movie. Horrible. So pathetic i don't want to comment. Don't waste your time and go watch the original from 1999.

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

Okay summer movie with pretty cool action sequences, some compelling characters and fun visual, but nothing more. The plot doesnt make any sense, some characters are very annoying and bland, cheesy moments and surprisingly a lot of boring scenes.

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.

The special effects are great and Russel Crow does a good job as well. The movie falls short everywhere else though. The plot is all over the place, and it stops in the middle to expand the "Dark Universe", and it is a waste of time. It didn't need to be in the film, and it slowed it down and cluttered it. The film also seemed to just be stumbling over itself near the end, having things happen for the sake of the plot and to find a way to keep the universe alive. Speaking of that, the ending is **** as well. The last "fight" is very anticlimactic, stuff happens that isn't explained and then there is narration which tells you "We got a universe coming!". Along with that, some of the writing is bad. The side character chick is really bland, the comedic effect guy that shows up randomly is not funny and annoying and Tom Cruise's character doesn't really develop. They attempt to, but they spend like two minutes on it and I didn't buy it.

Overall, I found it to be pretty mediocre… Expand

It was definitely worth watching. Not great, but a good way to start the Dark Universe. Lots of great characters, great moments, and seeing a female mummy was interesting.

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.

Prior to watching this, as far as II didn't even care for the original Mummy trilogy to begin with, and therefore had no intention of checking out this reboot. However, a friend of mine was really wanting me to take him to it, so I gave in. Prior to watching this, as far as I could tell, this was apparently made for two reasons: 1. It's apparently the first installment in a planned 'dark universe' franchise. And 2. to cash in on Tom Cruise's star power. The result: A noisy, cluttered, and uninspired film that can't make up its mind if it wants to be a fun, quirky action flick, or if it would rather be just plain dark and scary instead. The film shifts back and forth between these two tones quite a bit throughout to the point of becoming rather tiresome. Russell Crowe's talent is pretty much wasted with his corny take on Jekyll and Hyde. On top of all that, the film's very loosely resolved and ridiculous ending had me leaving the theater incredibly unsatisfied. Overall, it only has a couple of entertaining moments, but none of them are very memorable at all and the rest of the film was both a literal and figurative disaster.… Expand

The Hero getting the godpowers the movie promisses the whole time is very satisfying and leaves open a truckload of possibilities. I hope it wont turn out to be an avengers copy with the good guys giving him work by beating the bad guys but him discovering more and more hidden to history secrets of old egypt and maybe mingle with other gods of the old time.… Expand

It really did feel as a setup movie for future Monster verse films. In regards to the acting, Jake Johnson was great for comedic relief and Sofia Boutella performed well as the main antagonist. I’m not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but I felt he didn’t bring as much charisma in this as opposed to some of his other works. In closing I think it was a passable film. I think the monster movie verse will continue on track as this first film did well in the international box office.… Expand

+ 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

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
