4/5
The Mummy is cheerful, good-natured and entertaining and its cast did engagingly silly things like ride camels through the desert; though the film relies on some dodgy stereotypes, not really palatable despite the 1920s setting. Go to Full Review David Hunter The Hollywood Reporter 05/12/2020
Far more ambitious than its predecessors but a notch or two below the unique event-movie experience it might have been. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club 02/27/2020

“The Mummy” managed to capture lightning in a bottle. It picked a perfect cast for a highly entertaining script and did so in an era when innovation was possible in visual and special effects. The result is appropriately special. Full review in Spanish. Go to Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast 05/07/2024
