	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'The Mummy' is a literal-minded, bumptious monster mash of a movie. It keeps throwing things at you, and the more you learn about the ersatz intricacy of its 'universe', the less compelling it becomes."	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An inauspicious beginning to a would-be franchise (...) 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."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s an irredeemable disaster from start to finish, an adventure that entertains only via glimpses of the adventure it should have been."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"First of 'Dark Universe' reboots is a monster fail. Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella and a gajillion CGI effects can't save this epic monster mess (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"This 'Mummy' plays like a wan assemblage of underdeveloped concepts."	NEG
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"I'm not sure that this aimless, lukewarm, but occasionally rollicking take on 'The Mummy' is how the studio dreamed that its Dark Universe would kick off. But it's just good enough to keep you curious about what comes next."	NEU
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"'The Mummy' is a dated, empirically dismal, laughable excuse to kick off a franchise, and it should have remained entombed."	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's a ragbag of action scenes which needed to be bandaged more tightly. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Even Dwayne Johnson in the sequel of the 2009 reboot, 'The Scorpion King' is more fun than this."	NEG
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"An odd but frothily entertaining genre cocktail, which coasts on the charisma of its two biggest names and keeps things just fun enough to forgive its considerable lapses in narrative. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
