What we are left with is our hero kicking up a lot of sound and fury, and sand, of course, with the promise of much more of the same to come. Not actively awful, but not a barrel of silly fun either.

It is categorically the worst movie of Tom Cruise’s career. Sitting through it was a pain unlike any other. One can only hope that this awakens something in Cruise, much like Ahmanet, and sends his career down a new path. He’s 54 now. He can’t run forever.

Perhaps it was a critical view of the war itself, or Alex just did not feel like a better excuse was plausible or novel.

Undone by its clichés and staleness, the only thing The Mummy does well is confirm there's something in this world that's scarier than a monster and it goes by the name of reboot.

There’s enough gruesome eye candy, and in-your-face action to enjoy in ‘The Mummy’ if you ignore the plot holes and frustrating characters. But the first entry in Universal Pictures’ monster franchise comes across as a desperate attempt by the studio to capitalise on Hollywood’s current world-building frenzy.

The Mummy is just another Tom Cruise film where the 54-year old continues to sell us his man-child image. Neither scary nor engaging, we are certainly not looking forward to a sequel.

This callow outing for stars like Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Annabelle Wallis, is big and slick, typically Hollywood, but it's no fun at all.

2

Another reboot, another attempt at building a giant cinematic universe, and another bland, tedious misfire.

    al d movie done in darkness, there is no thrill of awakening of mummy from the tomb,like reading the book of dead,n also climax is not good.
