Critical Reception
The Mummy (2017) was widely panned by critics and audiences alike, suffering from a confused tone, underdeveloped characters, and a plot that failed to live up to its potential. It was seen as a disappointing start to Universal's Dark Universe franchise.
What Reviewers Say
Praised for Tom Cruise's energetic performance and some decent action sequences.
Criticized for its generic plot, inconsistent tone, and reliance on CGI.
Seen as a lackluster attempt to revive a classic monster franchise.
Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed to negative reception, with many finding the film to be an uninspired action-adventure that fails to capture the spirit of its predecessors. While some appreciated the visual effects and Tom Cruise's star power, a significant number felt the story was predictable and lacked depth.
Fun Fact
The role of Dr. Henry Jekyll, played by Russell Crowe, was initially intended to be a smaller cameo. However, the filmmakers decided to expand the character's part to potentially set up future installments in the Dark Universe.

A disappointment. <em>'The Mummy'</em> begins with promise. I initially enjoyed the duo of Tom Cruise and Jake Johnson, the plot set-up and the location choice of London. Russell Crowe is a standout name too. However, sadly, the film get...

Disappointingly unoriginal and average. So here we go, then, Universal begin their rebirth of the Universal Creature franchise (Dark Universe) with a crack at old bandage features, The Mummy, sadly the result is very average at best. You...

In view of the reviews this movie has received I was not expecting much. Being a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror fan I had to watch it regardless of what people said about it of course. I have to say that I do not understand why so many seem to claim...

Honestly, this film screwed up big time and it's not as good as the 1999 film, most people are going to compare this film to that and I don't blame them. Tome Cruise was like a walking joke in this and while I saw this in the cinema, people...
