It was an okay movie. Anything is still possible for the Dark Universe, but I hope it will be better. Russel Crowe's part was good and Tom Cruises' action scenes were also pretty good. Sadly the comedy in this movie was pretty bad. Jake Johnson felt really out of place and was only funny for the first 10 minutes.

There also was a problem with the chemistry between Nick and Jenny. It felt so weird sometimes.

Overal the movie felt rushes and could be done so much better. The action is good in this movie. Hope the rest of the Dark Universe will be better.

A bumpy start to Universal's Dark Universe. The film is burdened by Tom Cruise whose star wattage undermines the film. The 'star' of the film should have been the Egyptian monster, but Cruise's Indiana Jones/Brendan Fraser knockoff overplays the comedy and takes up too much screen time. It's not his fault, the clunky script is at fault, tonally all over the place with heavy exposition.

I am interested to know how the film's progress. Hopefully they will actually be 'dark' - it isn't called the grey universe for goodness sake! A little bit of darkness, a few chills and a decent reason for the monsters to coexist is what is needed.

I wanted to love this movie, but with little to no character development and a bad choice in Tom Cruise as Nick Morton the movie did not WOW me. More time should have been spent developing characters we could care about. Russell Crowe did not make much difference between his Jekyll/Hyde. Sofia Boutella nailed Ahmanet, but the story did not put her across as a super bad girl, having her using her army of zombie-mummies instead of her own powers. The eye f/x could have been so creepy but was not used for scares. Director Alex Kurtzman seems to think he was making an action zombie film instead of a monster mummy film. Overall the movie was OK at best and really needed some scares.

The movie probably had more potential before Tom Cruise signed on and turned it into a another Mission Impossible with mummies.

Not like this... I'm fan of the old Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz and I was expecting something similar but this movie is completely something else and to be honest nothing works in this movie. The relationship between main characters has no intensity, Mummy isn't scary at all and the plot is also weird. We can see another bad guy "original" escape. I don't know why film makers have to do the same mistakes over and over and make us suffer :( Average movie I will forget in 10 days. What a shame.

Visually stunning. Humour doesn't fit. Story fucked up.

Well.. not a good start for the Dark Universe, Tom Cruise doesn't fit horrors, he defiantly wasn't at his best, more there for just the money, and the film for me was just too cheesy, script was wrapped all over the place, should of been left in the tomb, but other than that the ending was bad, never made any sense, had it's funny moments, had lots of action, watchable.. i think they tried too hard on it or just rushed it.. came off more like a mock buster... too light for the dark universe

Where do I start?
Totally lacks the charm of the Fraser movies but that seems to be intentional. Thin story which was expected. The humor was flat throughout the movie. That Morton character is a total idiot and Cruise acts was if he gives a **** about the movie. Little to no chemistry between Cruise and Wallis. [spoiler] And - come on.....Jeckyll and Hyde ?!?! Really ?!?! [/spoiler]

I may be a little biased but I think the Brendan Fraser's Mummy was better. I did watch it a lot as a kid but that one never took itself too serious and it was fun. There was at least some humor in that one. This movie tries too hard. Its too dark, literally most of the scenes are almost too dark to see whats happening. The pacing was bad. Tom Cruise's character isn't really likeable, he is just kind of a dick. Which is scary, no pun intended, if he is going to be in all the dark universe movies. Jake Johnson's character is trying to be the comic relief but I just hated him. I'm interested in the dark universe but I hope they just concentrate on making the next movie good rather than universe building.

I'm 20 minutes in, and for the past 10 minutes, I've been thinking, "Who wrote this weak script? Is this really the best idea that the studio could come up w/ to kickstart a movie monster franchise?" The melodrama from Annabelle Wallis is difficult to stomach, especially when they find the crypt. I can't imagine getting through two hours of this dreck.
