The Mummy (2017) attempts to breathe new life into the classic mummy lore with a modern twist and a star-studded cast led by Tom Cruise. While the film delivers on action-packed sequences and impressive visuals, it struggles with pacing and a convoluted plot that detracts from the overall enjoyment. Critics and audiences have been divided, with some appreciating the ambitious attempt to reboot a classic, while others felt it did not live up to its potential.
