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.

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.

It feels less like a movie than a series of compromises worked out by a corporate committee.

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.

While The Mummy isn't a 1-star disaster, it certainly is disappointing.

A totally different but good twist to an already famous movie collection.

This could have been way worse to be honest. It's a dumb summer action flick. As long as you expect that, then you may enjoy it.

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!

Your usual Tom Cruise drab, I rewatched this film and it is somehow worse than I remembered it being the first time.

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.
