A film like this is suppose to have a sense of wonder and excitement, unfortunately, the Mummy is in short supply of both

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2020)

Silly, overlong and for an adventure picture, it's sorely lacking in wonder and excitement. The film takes a long time to get the ball rolling and when we finally get to see the Mummy, like the film itself, he turns out to be a dud. Arnold Vosloo's Imhotep is neither scary or interesting and his interactions with the protagonists drags on for too long without any coherence or suspense. The one bright spot in terms of character is the talented Rachel Weisz. But there is very little she can do working with a very thin script. Weisz's talents and the films enormous budget are wasted on a largely empty exercise, that has plenty to offer in terms of production but is in short supply when it comes to story and character.
