What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lacking the campy fun of the franchise's most recent entries and failing to deliver many monster-movie thrills, The Mummy suggests a speedy unraveling for the Dark Universe.

The film can't decide what it wants to be other than a Tom Cruise vehicle. Go to Full Review

This incarnation of the wrapped figure is a dusty combination of Fatal Attraction and Mission: Impossible, making for one of the year's worst films. Go to Full Review

The failure of the Dark Universe begins and ends with a Tom Cruise vanity project. He's not the worst part, though; that honor belongs to Jake Johnson's American Werewolf in London impersonation. Go to Full Review

Ted G 08/22/2021 A totally different but good twist to an already famous movie collection. See more Catherine R @RussianBlue84 2d I don’t care what anyone says I LOVE this movie! Little confuse by Russell Crowes character but the more I watched it I didn’t care, I loved everything else so much it didn’t matter to me. Shame on Brendan Fraser for his negative comment! Just because it doesn’t have that silly Disney sometimes cheesy humor doesn’t make it a bad movie! In fact I loved that it wasn’t that for a change! Very sad to hear there were no plans for a 2nd movie and very sad to not get to see what becomes of Nicks new powers! Wish everyone would take off their negative Karen pants and just appreciate and enjoy a movie for what it is! See more Oaklee D @ODie63 May 3 Your usual Tom Cruise drab, I rewatched this film and it is somehow worse than I remembered it being the first time. See more Harish N @harish_napa Apr 25 The 2017 reboot is a mediocre experience that fails to capture the magic of the original franchise. It is a visually messy and unpolished production that feels more like a generic action vehicle than a true horror film, proving that even a massive budget cannot save a disjointed script. Tom Cruise is miscast as Nick Morton, delivering a high energy performance that feels out of place in this supernatural setting. His usual charisma does not translate well here, and it is a movie he probably should have skipped. The writing is the weakest element, struggling to balance humor, horror, and action. While the plane crash sequence is a high quality technical feat, the rest of the film is neither scary nor interesting. The highlight is the creepy production design, but it is buried under a plot that makes very little sense. It is a high quality misfire that remains a frustrating watch. See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector Apr 19 Rating: 4.1/10 ⭐️ I hoped for a fun monster reboot, but this felt like a chaotic, over-engineered mess. What Worked: Shooting the plane crash practically in the Vomit Comet gives the stunt work a visceral weight CGI can’t match. Tyler’s massive score adds an epic texture to the muddy visuals. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing a selfish protagonist choose to put someone else’s life above his own beautifully reminds me that true grace and redemption require profound personal sacrifice. The Cuts: The middle part really dragged for me as the movie suddenly shifts from a creepy monster flick into a generic action vehicle. They spend way too much time awkwardly forcing universe-building for future sequels instead of making this story good. Keeping it spoiler-free, the tonal whiplash between horror, goofy comedy, and action is super real. Verdict: A messy franchise launch that forgets to be a good standalone movie. Skip it if you loved the adventurous charm of the 1999 classic. See more shelby G @RT19429578 Apr 13 I enjoyed the movie, it’s for entertainment anyways, yall hating on Tom Cruise.
