This movie definitely doesn't break any new ground and can seem amateur at times. But if you're just looking for a horror flick with some jump scares and decent atmosphere then this is not a bad choice. The acting from the lead actress can be over the top at times and one or two of the jump scares are kinda cheap. Also, the movie can feel slow at times but for the most part it's pretty well paced.

If jumpscares and ghost movies aren't your thing then you can skip this one. Overall it was decently freaky with a few laughs. Not nearly as bad as a lot of these reviews would have you believe. I'm giving it an 8 out of 10 as it serves its purpose on what it's trying to be better than a lot of other movies like it.

While this movie is set in the old West, I definitely wouldn't refer to it as a Western. Certainly not the typical movies you think about when you think the term "Western". This movie is filled with strange interactions and odd characters and moments that don't make sense yet at the same time, make perfect sense in the context of this film. I'm not gonna say too much about it and I'm sure it's not for everyone but I highly enjoyed it so I would recommend giving it a watch and see if you do too.

First off, I feel I have to admit I am a huge fan of The Mummy trilogy with Brendan Fraser. I grew up with those films and while the third entry (Tomb of the Dragon) with Jet Li is definitely the weakest in the trilogy, I would still take it over this. I even went back and watched the Fraser Mummy trilogy recently before I finally decided to watch this film, just to make sure I wasn't being biased due to nostalgia, and I still stand by this opinion.

From my understanding, this film wasn't meant to really be a remake/reboot of the 1999 film, but rather was meant to be a different mummy movie that was supposed to be part of Universal's attempt to create their "Dark Universe". The movie "Dracula: Untold" was actually supposed to kick off the Dark Universe, then came this Mummy movie, and then I believe they were going tomake a new Frankenstein film to be a part of the Dark Universe, along with others. But if you're going to name it The Mummy, it's basically impossible not to expect it to be compared to the 1999 film.

All that aside, judging this movie on its own, it just lacks so much. The effects are decent and it has the occasional (somewhat) exciting scenes, but overall it's boring and uninspired.

As the title says, not worth your time or money. Unless you're a huge Tom Cruise fan and just enjoy watching him in anything (for some reason lol) then I recommend finding a better movie to sink a couple hours into.
