- 67Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEntertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyI’m not sure that this aimless, lukewarm take on The Mummy is how the studio dreamed that its Dark Universe would begin. But it’s just good enough to keep you curious about what comes next.

- 55IGNIGNThere are moments where it reaches out for horror and produces something interesting and distinct from Hollywood’s other blockbusters, but those moments are buried beneath unremarkable and, by the end, tedious action sequences.
- 40New York Daily NewsStephen WhittyNew York Daily NewsStephen WhittySure it’s got big, blurry action scenes, a plane crash, and an army of dusty, mindless zombies. But I think some of them may have been the screenwriters, because the movie’s practically lifeless.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s a ragbag of action scenes which needed to be bandaged more tightly.
- 40New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottNew Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottThe core of The Mummy is built around a mostly fun, fast-moving vibe, while its malformed midsection seeks to undermine anything good it has accomplished.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeWeirdly out of place here, Cruise brings little daring and less charm to the film, though to be fair to the actor, his character's a stiff.

- 30TheWrapRobert AbeleTheWrapRobert AbeleThis “Mummy” is rags that produce no riches.
- 16IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichIt’s not that it’s bad, it’s that it never could have been good. It’s an irredeemable disaster from start to finish, an adventure that entertains only via glimpses of the adventure it should have been.
