The Mummy [DVD]

Product Information

Much like the other insipid entries into the earlier Universal franchise, this takes less care with the story and beefs up the action (although what Lon Chaney Jr’s puffed out bloodless mummy would make of this special effects laden feast nobody knows!). And once the process of pulling ones brain out through one’s nose is complete (as is traditional in sitting down to watch a modern action movie) then this will be given top marks. Until then please keep the sarcophagus lid firmly shut. Lang, Brent (May 8, 2018). "Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Other Star Salaries Revealed". Variety.

Retrieved March 9, 2014. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that the film "has some nice moments but is basically a mess. The plot sags like an aeon-old decaying limb, a jumble of ideas and scenes from what look like different screenplay drafts," and concluded that "It's a ragbag of action scenes which needed to be bandaged more tightly." [109] Empire film magazine was more positive, with Dan Jolin awarding the film three stars. "It's running and jumping grin-flashing business as usual for Cruise, once more on safe character territory as an Ethan Hunt-esque action protagonist who couples up with a much younger woman, while another woman chases after him," he wrote. "And if the next installment-teasing conclusion is anything to go by, Cruise seemed to have enough fun making this that he may just return for more." [110]
