couple of nice twists in The Mummy. Also the production standards are "Blockbuster"

However, not everyone was a fan, as three full reviews have been posted online and all criticize the film:

“The Mummy is a lazy reboot that tries to imitate the tone of the previous films too much and constantly fails, resulting in a movie that does not know which tone to adopt” – 1.5/5 – The Real Kingsman

“It feels a bit clunky, and the story is all too familiar sounding. You’re not seeing anything ground-breaking with this film; it’s not going to have the same impact as the original Mummy title, but it has its moments of adrenaline-pumping action, well-crafted visuals and smart dialogue.” – 3/5 – Miss Trending

Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis try as much as they can do, but their flat, mediocre characters have no chemistry between them on the screen. – 2/4 – SPP

We can make our own minds up on The Mummy when it unwraps into theaters on June 9th.
