The Mummy (2017)

"Tom Cruise got hit by a bus, he fell out of a plane, he kissed an evil Mummy, which is kind of the same. The Mummy reboot is the first opening creak of the casket that is the Universal Dark Universe (bad name, cool idea), and it’s a popcorn blockbuster with an emphasis on the corn. Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton, the ditzy anti-hero with some wonderfully jarring wisecracks."

"A literal-minded, bumptious monster mash of a movie."

"The Mummy does wrap up enough adventure, action and quips to make it, if not a scream, a worthwhile Friday night out."

"It’s a ragbag of action scenes which needed to be bandaged more tightly."

"Feels less alive than undead."

"The Mummy doesn't work as a horror because it's just far too stupid, far too often."

"Weirdly out of place here, Cruise brings little daring and less charm to the film, though to be fair to the actor, his character's a stiff."

"An odd but frothily entertaining genre cocktail, which coasts on the charisma of its two biggest names..."
